为何要采用抢先体验这种模式？

“Waves² exceeds the scope of the original game significantly and as a one-man studio getting feedback before release is almost impossible.

The Early Access period is intended primarily to let players test the game and provide that feedback in order to make a more balanced and enjoyable game.”

这款游戏的抢先体验状态大约持续多久？

“The Alpha period will last until the game is considered "Feature Complete", this means all the major features in the roadmap are implemented and live. The game will then enter a Beta phase during which the primary aim is to balance and polish the game ready for the final release.

During Early Access you can expect the leader boards to be periodically wiped and for the balance to change in significant ways as we hone in on the best experience.

The game is currently in "Alpha 5" and has recently shifted into a monthly development cycle. From now until release updates will occur at the end of each Calendar month.”

计划中的完整版本和抢先体验版本到底有多少不同？

“The full roadmap for the full game is publicly available and updated constantly.

Key features yet to be implemented are:

• More GRID Development (more content, enemies, and complex Networks to explore)
  
• Achievements
  
• Trading Cards

在抢先体验期间和结束之后，游戏价格会有所不同吗？

“The final game will be slightly more expensive once released. Originally it was intended to be cheaper but as the Early Access period has been so long and the scope of the game has expanded so too must the price.

I am dedicated to providing a premium and polished final product and as such will not ship the game until I am satisfied with it.”

在开发过程中，你们是如何计划让玩家社区参与进来的？

“The Steam Community forums will be the main source of feedback during Early Access.

The entire roadmap of tasks is available to view by anybody and is updated constantly as work is completed.”
