為何採用搶先體驗模式？

「Alaris is releasing in Early Access to give players the chance to experience what the game currently has to offer, which includes 4 routes, spanning around 30-40 hours of playtime. The current content will give players a chance to enter the world of Alaris, get to know the plot and characters on a deeper level, and provide feedback before the game enters Full Release.」

這款遊戲的搶先體驗時間大約會持續多久？

「Alaris is currently planned to be in EA for roughly six months, with small patch updates along the way to include expanded content/assets.」

正式版預計會與搶先體驗版有何不同？

「The Full version of Alaris is planned to include all 6 routes, with the final 2 routes being added at Full Release. These routes would cover the "Fae" routes of the game, which would include 10-20 more hours of playtime, more art assets (e.g., CGs, side character sprites, etc.), and voiced lines. The final 2 routes would aim to bring the game's full plot to a close.

Along the way, in smaller patches, we plan to update the game with additional content, such as more voiced lines, refined prose, and more. 」

遊戲售價在搶先體驗期間前後會有所變動嗎？

「When Alaris enters Full Release, the price will be increased to reflect the game's additional content.」

在開發過程中，您打算如何與社群互動？

「Early Access will give players the chance to provide feedback on the game before it enters Full Release.

Alaris has been in Beta Access prior to entering Early Access, and during that time, we implemented beta testers' feedback, from route edits, accessibility features, and more! We welcome feedback via various social media channels (e.g., Discord, Twitter, Tumblr, etc.) so that we can make community feedback part of our development process.

Your feedback is invaluable to us, so don't hesitate to share your thoughts along the way!」
