เหตุใดจึงเป็นช่วงระหว่างการพัฒนา?

“This is a game that, aside from help from some friends with art, I am almost entirely making by myself in spare time outside of my actual job. While the game itself is free, I still want to set appropriate expectations with players.

I want to use early access as a way to gather feedback from players and build a following for the game while it is still in development. We've made a wide variety of courses, but they are mostly unfinished still from a graphical standpoint. One of my main goes is to get feedback on the overall difficulty of the game. The current iteration of the Impossible difficulty is extremely difficult - I want to see if this is something people would be into, or if the difficulty needs to be turned down.”

เกมนี้จะอยู่ในช่วงระหว่างการพัฒนานานเท่าไรโดยประมาณ?

“My best guess is that it will take another 6 months after becoming available before I am able to polish everything I want to have in order to consider it a full release. This could easily change based on feedback received.”

เวอร์ชันเต็มได้ถูกวางแผนไว้ให้แตกต่างจากเวอร์ชันระหว่างการพัฒนาอย่างไร?

“While the core gameplay is mostly complete (with a few pieces being unfinished and not yet working as intended), the courses themselves need a lot of work. I plan on working on bug fixes, more polished courses, more hats, finished menus, and some more sound effects. An original soundtrack is also in the works - right now the game uses royalty free music. In addition to the items listed above, I plan to add a tutorial, content/difficulty pacing (right now you can go straight for the hardest course) and Steam Achievements.

Looking longer term, I would love to have more complex features such as asynchronous multiplayer so you can challenge your friends.”

สถานะปัจจุบันของเวอร์ชันระหว่างการพัฒนาเป็นอย่างไร?

“The state of the early access version is outlined in the "About this Game" section of the page. Everything included there is already in the game, albeit in a partially unfinished state,”

เกมจะมีราคาเปลี่ยนแปลงไปหรือไม่ในระหว่างและหลังจากช่วงระหว่างการพัฒนา?

“No. The base game itself is free! This will not change.

If the game becomes popular or even has a small following, I would like to add extra course packs as DLC. I haven't fleshed out exactly what those will look like, but the initial thought that I keep coming back to is to have packs of 3 courses for a few dollars.

It would give people that love the game extra content and a way to support me in further development of the game.”

คุณกำลังวางแผนให้ชุมชนมีส่วนร่วมในขั้นตอนการพัฒนาของคุณอย่างไร?

“A Discord server has been set up () for players to discuss the game, with a dedicated channel for feedback. We would encourage players to give constructive feedback on all aspects of the game, especially the difficulty of the courses.”
