为何要采用抢先体验这种模式？

“I want to make the best game I can, working directly with the community is the best and only way to do that.
As an automation game, outpost engineer has a lot of potential development options. The core gameplay loop is there, but player feedback is invaluable to help this game grow.
Additionally, releasing in early access will help polish some features (UI, crafting recipes, research loop, quality-of-life) based on feedback received.
So I'd like to welcome other people to play the game and voice their suggestions.”

这款游戏的抢先体验状态大约持续多久？

“For at least one year, but depending on player feedback and the amount of content I choose to put into the final game, it may take longer.”

计划中的完整版本和抢先体验版本到底有多少不同？

“Part of the focus will be on quality-of-life updates, polishing the user interface. The User interface is functional yet basic right now, language localization updates are planned.
The main menus have been translated to French, German, Spanish, Russian, Portuguese and Turkish. In game descriptions are currently in English.
As for gameplay aspects, more diversity in resource extraction, a variety of additional machines to build and balancing will be considered. Sounds and particle effects will be further refined.
The game experience and overall lore will be more polished in the full version.”

在抢先体验期间和结束之后，游戏价格会有所不同吗？

“The early access version is discounted compared to the definitive version.”

在开发过程中，你们是如何计划让玩家社区参与进来的？

“We currently use our Discord server and the Steam forums as our primary ways to talk to our community. Suggestions on how to make the game better. Any potential bugs reported will be addressed. Progress will be communicated regularly.”
