为何要采用抢先体验这种模式？

“As of January of 2026, there are eight hours of game content.

Choose your campaign: play as a Human or a Dwarf, with differing back stories, quests and abilities.

There are 2 villages to explore, 20 NPCs, 55 crafting recipes, 22 crafting machines, domesticated animals, 5 skill trees, a cooking system, randomly generated quests, 20 different crops to raise, randomly generated lairs, basic fishing with pole, over 30 different fish to catch, many items to forage (sea shells, flowers, herbs, etc), 3 areas of magic, and a variety of enemy types.

Many people ask me why I'm making this game. It's a massive undertaking. RPG Roguelikes are probably the most complicated game you can make. There are two reasons:

(1) To bring joy to the players.
(2) It's fun creating a game. The process of creating a game makes me happy.

I need a better idea of where players would like the game to go. I need player input and suggestions. I've reached the stage of the game creation process where I will be making major game play and content decisions. It would be best if players could join in this decision-making process.

I'm making this game simply because it's the game I want to play. I need no other motivation. It's a game unlike any other, a game that I wish existed, but it doesn't, so it's my job to create it, so I can play it.

You might ask yourself: what about money? The small amount of money that I might make from this game isn't important. Jiro Ono, master craftsman and sushi maker, has said as much about his own work. My goal is perfecting the game and delivering a product of excellent quality. In Jiro Ono's words:

"Once you decide on your occupation, you must immerse yourself in your work. You have to fall in love with your work. Never complain about your job. You must dedicate your life to mastering your skill. That’s the secret of success, and is the key to being regarded honorably."”

这款游戏的抢先体验状态大约持续多久？

“One to two years.”

计划中的完整版本和抢先体验版本到底有多少不同？

“All of the major functional areas of the game will be more developed in the full version. The early access version provides a sneak peak into the open world, rogue-like vision that I plan on delivering in the full version.

The full version will contain:

(1) Behavior based AI for important factional NPCs. Non-scripted AI is key to the Elanor design concept. Think of the difference between how NPCs behave in a game like the Sims (behavorial) versus Skyrim (scripted). Based upon their needs (food, social interaction, job), NPCs change their behaviors and actions.
(2) Multiple economic and productivity models for earning gold or simply interacting with the people of Elanor. This isn't just a farming, fishing and adventuring game. Become a blacksmith and sell weapons. Become a potter and sell pottery. Build a library and center of learning.
(3) Factional politics.
(4) Large overworld map featuring thousands of programmatically generated sub maps.
(5) Branching story lines.
(6) Deep skill tree.

Please visit the Isle of Elanor discussion group here on Steam to see the Road Map for the Isle of Elanor. The Road Map provides a more detailed look at the features that will be available in the full version. Feel free to make suggestions or ask questions.”

抢先体验版本的现状如何？

“The game includes hours of playable content with most of it centered around crafting.

All of the major systems for the game are working: combat, quests, skills, farming, resource gathering, programmatic map generation, NPC interaction, crafting, experience and leveling.

Although the current release is a beta, the demo was available for years on Steam, and the game is stable and well tested. ”

在抢先体验期间和结束之后，游戏价格会有所不同吗？

“I plan to raise the game price by approximately 10 percent after the Early Access period ends. I plan to raise the price to account for new content and features.”

在开发过程中，你们是如何计划让玩家社区参与进来的？

“I'm planning on involving the Community in the development process through Steam Forums.

My ideas are not always the best ideas, and I can't wait for players to be able to make suggestions.”
