Какво имат да кажат разработчиците:

Защо „Ранен достъп“?

„Zong has been in development since December 2021, while our goal is to complete Zong's 100 levels by 2037, we know that it is almost impossible to push Zong toward the correct direction without the help and feedback from the growing game community on this long journey. With 2024's release under Early Access, we hope to get players' feedback and constructive advice on how to make proceeding levels great. We are looking forward to hearing great thoughts from the Steam community. With players' experiences and feedback involved, Zong will certainly be better.“

Приблизително колко дълго тази игра ще бъде в „Ранен достъп“?

„We plan to complete the 1st Chapter of Zong by the end of 2025. There are 15 levels in total within the 1st Chapter-Zong's Initiation. We will need a few more years to complete the remaining 9 levels given the current state of the development team. We plan to leave Early Access when we are certain that the story sequence of the 1st Chapter is complete and all features/systems are running in the best state possible, but this plan may change.“

Как ще се различава планираната пълна версия от тази в „Ранен достъп“?

„As a VR novel, Zong has 7 chapters with 100 levels in total. Each chapter contains 13-15 levels, with completely different gameplay and story sequences presented at each level. In this first release in 2024, we completed 6 levels in the 1st Chapter-Zong's Initiation. They are respectively The Centiwell, Cliffside Tiger, The Captives, Papaver Rhoeas, Jade Burial Suit, and Mount of Simian.

The first full version is planned to be the complete 1st Chapter of Zong. The full 1st Chapter contains 15 levels. They are respectively: LV1-The Centiwell, LV2-Cliffside Tiger, LV3-The Captives, LV4-Papaver Rhoeas, LV5-Jade Burail Suit, LV6-Mount of Simian, LV7-Cloud-Mounting Ladder, LV8-Hanging-Coffin Cliff, LV9-Golden Helmet Silver Armor, LV10-The Barrier of Furia, LV11-Moon in Sacrifice, LV12-The Been's Pool, LV13-Flooding Dispelling Ridge (Part 1), LV14-Flood Dispelling Ridge (Part 2), and LV15-Reward&Closure. Before the completion of the 1st Chapter, any new proceeding level update will be in Early Access.“

Какво е текущото състояние на версията в „Ранен достъп“?

„Zong's 100 levels' script was completed back in 2020, and the Global Zong Team started to form back in October 2021 with around 20 teammates scattered across 11 countries all over the world. We started programming all events and features in December 2021. After a few years' development, the current Early Access version contains 6 levels. They are respectively The Centiwell, Cliffside Tiger, The Captives, Papaver Rhoeas, Jade Burial Suit, and Mount of Simian.

The sequence of events has been fully completed in the six levels. Players are able to proceed from the Centiwell to the Mount of Simian, fight against the Osteospectral Tiger using the Fiery Whip summoned by Sol, knock down The Captives standing on the Bridge of Atomos, get to know the Custodian of Papaver Rhoeas, pierce the Papaver Rhoeas using the WellSpring Needles granted by Ves, shoot Zong's canaries using the Dionysian Slingshot, push bellows to produce the Jade Burial Suit, put Jade Burial Suit on Simian, and collect Discernment Eye, Umbrella Pugna, White Soil, and Seven Water Droplet representing the 7 dimensions of Zong.“

Ще има ли разлика в цената на играта по време на „Ранен достъп“ и след това?

„We plan to gradually raise the price as we ship new levels and features, but we are not certain.“

Как планирате да ангажирате общността в процеса Ви на разработка?

„We are planning to use Discord server as the primary way to talk to players. We will establish a chat channel to receive feedback from the community and establish another test group to try our latest builds. This test group will be communicating closely with the production team. We will continue to produce Zong based on the need and feedback of the community while completing the world building for Zong.“

Synopsis


LV1 - The Centiwell
  • As the player, you will enter Zong as your true self on human earth, and meet one of the four Supreme Commanders in the Cave of Centiwell. Sol sees your appearance and senses the human aura from you, he then quickly stamps Zong's Imprint on your finger. Zong's Imprint connects humans and Zong for information exchange. Only with Zong's Imprint can Zong's beings hear the voices of humans, and only with the Imprint can humans move freely in the world of Zong. Sol tells you that the current time and space is Era of Anima Gravis...
LV2 - Cliffside Tiger
  • When Sol and you walk out of the secret passageway of Centiwell, a dangerous cliff appears in front of you. Sol tells you that this place is called "Boreas Gorge". Standing on the edge of the cliff, Sol notices that there is an Osteospectral Tiger nearby. He tells you to pay attention to your own safety, because the Osteospectral Tiger would attack humans from the earth...
LV3 - The Captives
  • Sol snaps his fingers and recites the Mantra Karida, an old wooden bridge connecting the cliffs on both sides appearing in front of you. Sol tells you that this bridge is called "Bridge of Atomos". Those who have committed wrongs in the dimension of Zong—commonly referred to as the Captives of Zong—are hung by their ankles underneath the bridge, facing into the abyss below, as a stern reprimand of their egregious offenses. Even though living beings native to Zong can traverse the bridge with ease, a foreign being such as yourself will weigh it down significantly, alerting the Captives of Zong of your presence. They will flock to attack you once they become aware of you...
LV4 - Papaver Rhoeas
  • After defeating Captives under the bridge, you arrive at the Dent Area. Surprisingly, thousands of flowers fall from the sky in an instant. The information shows that the flower in the sky is called Papaver Rhoeas. Soon, Ves appears in the glowing light of Papver Rhoeas. Ves is one of the four Supreme Commanders in Zong during the arcane era of Anima Gravis, who is in a Spiritual Conjunction with Sol. Ves is often lachrymose and frequently recounts tales of past sufferings, bygone longings, and ancestral accomplishments. Her wistful tales are memorialized in melodies abundant with emotions and commendable virtues. She has lost her memory and the ability to memorize in the Era of Anima Gravis. As she senses your human identity, she decides to pave a flower ledge for you...
LV5 - Jade Burial Suit
  • After you break the Flower Ledge, you start taking a flower raft with Ves and Sol to traverse in the river. Suddenly, a huge crucible slowly appears in the center of Boreas Gorge. Sol looks a little surprised. He tells you that this crucible was used to make Jade Burial Suits. A Jade Burial Suit is created by stringing precious jade stones from Lake Li’er with the Golden Strings from Zong's Canaries, which are then fused together with the flames of burning Papaver Rhoeas. Creating and offering Jade Suits in sacrifices is one of the highest forms of memorial ceremonies in Zong. Jade Suits can be used to honor Commanders who have perished. Depending on the circumstances of a Commander’s passing, such as location or cause of death, a Jade Suit can be burned, worn, submerged, or catapulted during their memorial ceremony...
LV6 - Mount of Simian
  • After you collect Jade Burial Suit in LV5, you approach ahead with Sol and Ves together on the flower raft. The gloomy wind in Boreas Gorge is fierce, and an ape statue appears in front of you. Simian was a Zong Commander whose true form was an ape. Known for his exceptional valor and benevolence, Simian would come to any living being or Commander’s rescue if they’re at risk of being harmed by vicious forces. Simian’s offsprings have formed a close bond with each other; they live in harmony and leave their mortal coil in pairs. After Simian passed away, each of his offsprings retrieved a mouthful of white soil at the peak of Mount Almitas. They sculpted the soil after Simian’s image on top of the mountain where Simian last appeared. The mountain was therefore named Mount Simian...
