為何採用搶先體驗模式？

「We're building this game which is sometimes pretty straightforward and a bit like Fruit Ninja meets Beat Saber meets [insert game about office waste], and other times we are trying to make a brain game about IoT sensors fun. Which is challenging.

The main aim is sustainability as it relates to built environments. We want to build this out and create more of this world and other 'Planet A districts' so we'd love respectful and constructive feedback and ideas.」

這款遊戲的搶先體驗時間大約會持續多久？

「We plan to have the game in early access for 3 months and we will tweak etc as we go.」

正式版預計會與搶先體驗版有何不同？

「The current version of the game will not have any major changes made before full release, except that we intend to tweak and optimise. We may be adding a multiplayer events mode, based on the status of our Networked Game Object cloud server systems at the end of the early access period - and our confidence level about governance of multiplayer mode access.

As of today, you are flown-in by drone, can then explore and walk around this part of MIND, and can discover the 2x portals.
One goes to Waste Ninja which is a fun, memorable game that teaches the User how to sort waste into the 4x categories that anyone who lives or works in MIND is required-to. Good waste management significantly reduces carbon impacts.

The other portal leads to 'Podium Sensorium'. Taking the time to learn about IoT sensors at the beginning, then exploring the building, players can then press the 'START' button in the foyer, whereby they are closed off into a 'Controls Room'. The Player can then choose the amount of IoT sensors they think may be required per-zone and 'RUN SIM' to see how they go. The players see the non-player-characters acting a bit crazy, and can tap on the Zones that are marked incorrect above the dollshouse version. Little info panels provide hints and learnings. The player can then 'TRY AGAIN' until they get it right. The player has 30 mins to get it right. And they are penalised with 'Carbon Penalties' (5 penalties) per wrong zone. Run out of time or accrue 200 penalties and your game is over. Get them all right with time on the clock and your penalties X time taken is your score. The lower the better - and you might get on the global leaderboard.

NB - the Player Profile is yet to be Live and the Collections area is the same. These will be Live before we come out of Early Access.」

搶先體驗版目前的開發進度如何？

「Most aspects are full functional right now - with just a couple of peripheral things 'coming soon' (and marked as such), per the previous section: Player Profile and Collections.」

遊戲售價在搶先體驗期間前後會有所變動嗎？

「It will always be free. We're here to educate about carbon impacts and climate change - not getting into the commercial games-biz:)」

在開發過程中，您打算如何與社群互動？

「We will be doing sessions on Twitch and other streaming platforms to get the community involved and will be setting up a DISCORD shortly.」
