为何要采用抢先体验这种模式？

“Currently in open playtest. We really want to refine gameplay and hear from players to see what they think would make this game great.

We're currently hard at work adding content and gameplay features, including (but not limited to!): More assets for base building such as dormer roofs, bay windows, balustrades, and will e working on new levels such as plaster and stone assets. Gameplay is getting refined for combat, including new crafted weapons and armor. The world will continually be refined, the Fen is first, followed by a ton more biomes. There will be huge additions to the potion crafting ad usage systems.”

这款游戏的抢先体验状态大约持续多久？

“Approximately a year.”

计划中的完整版本和抢先体验版本到底有多少不同？

“There will be multiple biomes on the map, including ocean and underwater areas. The farming and crafting systems will be expanded, and a cooking system included. There are plans for massive additions to the potions crafting system. More vendors, preferably with factions. Tons more NPCs by faction, for instance Bag Witches, Flower Fae, Gnolls, Mermaids, and Gnomes. More damage types (such as dark, poison, light, etc.) will be added. We are looking into upgradable equipment, turn based combat for bosses, and guilds. A fishing system will be set up, and tree farming as well.”

在抢先体验期间和结束之后，游戏价格会有所不同吗？

“The Otherwilde will have a very low price for Early Alpha playtesting. The game will be full price once it leaves Early Access, and price may increase with significant content updates.”

在开发过程中，你们是如何计划让玩家社区参与进来的？

“I can't wait to hear feedback! We have discord channels open for bug reports, suggestions, and feature requests. Some of my favorite games changed significantly as developers heard from the players what they really wanted from a game, and the Otherwilde team would like to be flexible to make the game truly enjoyable.”
