เหตุใดจึงเป็นช่วงระหว่างการพัฒนา?

“RTS and Crafting each have distinct fun elements and different ways of using time, so merging the two is a pretty big challenge in game fun design.
I thought that by automating many of the microcontrollers through AI, the RTS itself could lower the play fatigue and learning curve hurdles, and give strategic crafting a sense of fusion, and I'm verifying it.
However, fun verification is impossible without user feedback. Since I can't find an unfamiliar game called Crafting RTS, I want to complete the game with feedback from users.”

เกมนี้จะอยู่ในช่วงระหว่างการพัฒนานานเท่าไรโดยประมาณ?

“Early access is required until around December 2022.
There are many goals to be achieved, but it is because I am currently developing solo.”

เวอร์ชันเต็มได้ถูกวางแผนไว้ให้แตกต่างจากเวอร์ชันระหว่างการพัฒนาอย่างไร?

“The features we want to achieve in the full version are:
N-player cooperative multiplayer, more types of monsters (at least 4 types) and dozens of patterns, 9+ unit roles, 300+ equipment, 50+ skills, 80+ upgrades, 30 story stages, Over 10 skirmish and co-op maps, Steam features (Achievements, Leaderboard, Cloud Saves, ...)
There are plans to make art and music as original assets as well. (planned outsourcing) The art does not deviate much from the relatively light feeling of the medieval style based on hand paints as it is now, but buildings and items with a medieval style mixed with future technologies will appear to match the story. As the music also changes the art, it will all change to the right mood for it.”

สถานะปัจจุบันของเวอร์ชันระหว่างการพัฒนาเป็นอย่างไร?

“Features created in the current version include: (Worked for about 7 months as a solo development)
Single player, 1 monster (orc) with 5 patterns, 4 unit roles, about 70 equipment, 15 skills, 20 upgrades, 10 story stages, 1 types of skirmish maps”

เกมจะมีราคาเปลี่ยนแปลงไปหรือไม่ในระหว่างและหลังจากช่วงระหว่างการพัฒนา?

“There will be no price changes until the art and music assets change. The outsourcing of assets is likely to cost quite a bit of money, so there will be price increases after that. (probably after at least a year)”

คุณกำลังวางแผนให้ชุมชนมีส่วนร่วมในขั้นตอนการพัฒนาของคุณอย่างไร?

“From the time I made my first very small game in 1996 by myself, I have had a lot of experience in getting feedback from users and completing the game, from leading game development in a large organization for the last 10+ years and doing startups twice.
Up to now, while developing the game , I distributed builds 1-2 times a month to collect various feedbacks, analyze them, and reflect them back into the game (and there are a few systems that have been overhauled while developing for only 7 months). I don't know if that's the case, I don't think there's any trace left on the UX side...)
Obviously my initial idea wasn't bad, but it's only their play that can prove that players can enjoy it.
So, I would like to collect a lot of opinions using the Steam Community feature. Those comments not only improve the quality of the game, but can also play a key role in some important direction decisions. If more agile iteration is required, I'm also considering opening a Discord channel. If a Discord channel is opened, I will notify you later.”
