Why Early Access?

“On the one hand, we (actually the author himself) believe that it is irresponsible to call even an indie game "full version" before it's finished, even if it may have had a longer process. On the other hand, as an indie game developer, we know that there is a strong correlation between player feedback and game quality, and hope that through player playtesting and feedback, we -- the producers can improve the game to form a virtuous cycle between players - producers - games. From these two perspectives, labelling the game as "Early Access" is the best solution for now.

一方面，我们（就是作者本人啦）认为，即便是独立游戏，在没有完成预期开发之前，称其为「完整版」依然是不负责任的表现，即便它可能已经有较长的流程；另一方面，作为独立游戏开发者，我们深知玩家反馈与游戏质量之间必然有着紧密的关联，并希望通过玩家游玩测试并反馈-制作者加以改进之方式，来形成玩家-制作者-游戏之间的良性循环。从这两方面考虑，将游戏标记为「抢先体验」是目前最好的解决方案。”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We plan to maintain the "Early Access" status for at least six months. We would like to remind you that this work has been developed by the author in his spare time, which inevitably leads to a rather long development period. However, there is no need to be pessimistic about the quality of the work and whether it will be completed. (After all, it has been four years in developing, and the main body of game has been completed.)

我们计划将抢先体验状态维持至少半年以上。
我们需要提醒您的是，因本作品系作者个人于业余时间开发，所以必然导致开发周期相当漫长。不过您不需要因此对作品的质量及能否最终完成抱有悲观态度。（毕竟已经做了四年，主体也已完成了）”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“We expect to have them available for you in the full version (the former of the order below does not represent a high priority):

• More balanced and reasonable game values system;
  
• Reset game with Unreal Engine 5 for more features that the author envisioned (may be released as DLC);
  
• At least two large line branches on the plot (may be released as DLC);
  
• More oriental and plot-appropriate images and music;
  
• Support for Steam Workshop (free to replace in-game avatars/pictures);
  
• More sufficiently diverse and interesting battlefield events, spinoffs and special gameplay;
  
• Multi-language support, with its priority order being Traditional Chinese / Japanese / English / French, but don't get your hopes up on that either. (You may realized that nerely all above was translated by DeepL, which shows the author's poor English)

——————————————————————
我们期望在完整版中能为您提供（以下顺序并不代表优先度高低）：

• 更为平衡、合理的游戏数值；
  
• 用UE5重置本体（目前正在造轮子），以获得更高的自由度和实现一些作者预想中的功能（亦可能以DLC形式出现）；
  
• 至少两条剧情上的大型线路分支（亦可能以DLC形式出现）；
  
• 更加东方化且契合剧情的图像与音乐；
  
• 对创意工坊的支持（自由替换游戏内头像/图片）；
  
• 以及更多足够多元化且有趣的战场事件、支线和特殊玩法；
  
• 或许会有多语言支持，其优先顺位为繁体中文/日文/英文/法文，但也请不要对这一点抱有太大希望。

”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The current EA version will be made available to you:

• 46+4 levels;
  
• 1 branch for gameplay;
  
• At least 25 hours of drama to read, containing over 400,000 Chinese characters of text.

——————————————————————
目前的抢先体验版本会提供给您：

• 46+4关的游戏流程；
  
• 一条大体完整的游戏线路；
  
• 至少25小时的剧情，包含40万字以上的文本量。

”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“We have no plans to adjust the price of the game during EA.
After the end of EA, we may decide whether to increase the price of the game, or whether to release paid DLC, depending on the content of the game, and decide on the final pricing.
We will not consider any price increase if the changes in the full version from the current version are minor or not to our satisfaction.
——————————————————————
我们没有计划在抢先体验期间调整游戏价格。
在游戏结束抢先体验后，我们可能会视游戏内容而决定是否提高游戏价格，或是否推出收费DLC，并决定最终的定价。
如若完整版中相较目前版本变化不大，或未能达到我们满意的程度，我们将不会考虑任何提高价格的行为。”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“We understand that community involvement is a big part of making the game better. You will be able to make suggestions or comments about the game in areas including, but not limited to, Steam Discussion Forums, Steam Review Forums, Discord Groups, Official QQ Groups, or by sending them directly to the author's email address.
Please be assured that almost all of the reasonable suggestions made during the beta period have been effectively responded to and have been at least partially implemented in our subsequent updates, and those that could not be implemented due to the limitations of the SS functionality have been recorded for future reference.
——————————————————————
我们深知社区参与是使游戏进步的一大助力。您将可以在包括但不限于Steam讨论区、Steam评论区、Discord群组，官方QQ群中对游戏提出建议或意见，抑或将这些内容直接反馈至作者邮箱。
请放心，内测期间几乎所有合理的建议都得到了有效的回应，并在我们之后的更新中至少部分地实现了这些建议，而囿于SS机能限制未能实现的部分亦已记录以备考。”
