為何採用搶先體驗模式？

「We are a small indie company with a set vision on where we want Cosmica to go. We are hoping by leveraging Early Access we can gain a community of players that support our vision of a more strategic deck-building rogue-like game.」

這款遊戲的搶先體驗時間大約會持續多久？

「Cosmica will be in early access between 18 and 24 months. Our development cycle will include minor fixes and smaller updates in monthly incriments, with larger features being released bi-yearly.」

正式版預計會與搶先體驗版有何不同？

「Cosmica’s data-focussed coding allows us the potential to add an immense amount of new content once the foundation is in place. We plan to take advantage of this to add a vast number of new cards, enemies, equipment, and story events in monthly updates, in addition to wholly new features. Some of these new features include:
-a new game mode that grows increasingly difficult the more times you win a run
-complex actions for enemies, such as debuffs and deck manipulation
-an adventure web to explore, rather than the current linear progression between combat, starbases, and story
-card art that evolves based on the upgrades chosen
-new ship classes, and crew members that can be added and removed within a run (and the cards that come with them)
-more resolutions and graphical options」

搶先體驗版目前的開發進度如何？

「Currently, the early access version of Cosmica offers our gamers will a simplified more linear progression with several starbases, story encounters and 10 enemies of increasing difficulty. The goal in this early version is to unlock ship equipment through purchases and story choices, which require trying out different crew combinations per run. We are hoping our early adopters will enjoy the main game battle loop, which we feel sets Cosmica apart from most card games with its strategic possibilities, combined with a taste of the over 175 unique story options that can be encountered by different characters each run. This version will include 12 unique crew members, 38 enemies, and 44 equipment unlocks.」

遊戲售價在搶先體驗期間前後會有所變動嗎？

「We want to reward the players that believed and supported our vision for Cosmica from the beginning, this is why this early access discounted price will be the lowest price ever offered for Cosmica. It is our pledge that we will never put Cosmica on sale, and we will always include new features for free to our existing players. All future content will be included, and we will slowly increase the price of Cosmica after each major release.」

在開發過程中，您打算如何與社群互動？

「We want to involve the community in the development process from the Early Access stage onwards. We believe the appeal of joining an early access game is the ability to provide feedback, and be a part of the development process for smaller titles such as Cosmica. We can’t wait to hear from you, and interact with you as we go on this journey together. Our first updates will be within Steam, and slowly we will build out our social presence with live streams, newsletters, community events, and more.」
