为何要采用抢先体验这种模式？

“We are building a game with a multiplayer game mode and the best way to polish that game mode is to allow people in while we can still iterate and get their feedback on what is fun and enjoyable.”

这款游戏的抢先体验状态大约持续多久？

“With early access starting in May, we are planning to be in early access for 9 to 12 months. The core of the game is finished, all mechanics and systems and all the finer details, but we want to use this early access period to apply a fine layer of polish and to also validate that the game is indeed fun.”

计划中的完整版本和抢先体验版本到底有多少不同？

“At launch we plan to have quarterly content updates that feature new maps, puzzles, and game play scenarios based on all the lessons we have learned through early access. Early access is a framework of our game systems and features, over the course of early access they will be polished and streamlined for full release. Part of the new content, aside from polish from the community will feature collectables, cosmetics and a perk system we want to have ready on release.”

抢先体验版本的现状如何？

“The Early Access version features a fully functional game, including the start to a single player mode that goes in deeper to the world and lore that makes up the The Outsiders game. We hope to polish this single player experience in addition based on feedback from the community. In terms of bugs most of the critical bugs that we can find on our end should be fixed and the game should be smooth and moderately optimized. That being said, we really appreciate everyone who is able and willing to come in and help us find those really obscure bugs, getting us the data we need to reach a really nice level of polish.”

在抢先体验期间和结束之后，游戏价格会有所不同吗？

“We plan to release the game with a 10% discount while in early access. While we do hope to expand the content later after launch, most of it will come in the form of free content patches and purchasable cosmetics. We know, ew, but we don’t want to put any barriers on content in the form of dlc or worse end up splitting up players based on who has what content pack. We think cosmetics are a nice middle ground, it doesn’t lock anyone out but we still have a way to support content production.”

在开发过程中，你们是如何计划让玩家社区参与进来的？

“We already have a discord community and would love for people to join in on the conversations, use the bug reporting channels, and hang out in general. We would love to do live Q and A or streams and play with devs nights.
If discord isn’t your thing, we will also keep track of all the posts and reports going on in the steam page community.

What players can expect to see for content development are polls, questions and other forms of us trying to see what the community wants to see first. Maybe a brand new challenge in an existing map, a new map, maybe a new item or mechanic. Regardless we have lots of thoughts and ideas but we are hoping to produce the most requested content first.”
