”

สถานะปัจจุบันของเวอร์ชันระหว่างการพัฒนาเป็นอย่างไร?

“Currently, you can play tutorial challenges, cooperative missions with 1-4 players on procedurally generated maps in three unique biomes or competitively with up to 8 players or AI on handcrafted skirmish maps. There are three factions for competitive play and one faction for missions.”

เกมจะมีราคาเปลี่ยนแปลงไปหรือไม่ในระหว่างและหลังจากช่วงระหว่างการพัฒนา?

“For the pricing, our main consideration is to keep the the PvP game mode as well as workshop content accessible to as many players as possible. Therefore, we do not expect Arcane Wilds to have a significantly higher price on release and will even consider a price reduction.

For the mission mode, we plan to release new factions regularly in the form of DLCs.

For PvP, we might add purchasable, purely cosmetic content. All PvP factions will always be available to everyone who has obtained the base game.”

คุณกำลังวางแผนให้ชุมชนมีส่วนร่วมในขั้นตอนการพัฒนาของคุณอย่างไร?

“We are actively engaging with players through platforms like the Steam community forums, Discord and Reddit. We are interested in opinions of both unexperienced and experienced RTS players.

While we won't incorporate every suggestion for obvious reasons, we welcome feedback, suggestions, and discussions on all aspects of the game. It is likely that the involvement of the community will add new ideas we would like to explore and possible even bring into the final product in some form.”
