为何要采用抢先体验这种模式？

“We decided to launch Arcane in Early Access on Steam because we want to create a community-oriented game that is built in collaboration with our players and supporters. Our goal is to create an immersive and engaging role-playing experience that brings together gamers from around the world to create a vibrant and diverse community. By launching in Early Access, we can get feedback from players and make changes based on what the community wants.

We believe that this approach will allow us to create a game that truly reflects the unity between game developers, supporters, and players. We also want to include modding and community-created content, which will foster a sense of community and encourage players to work together to create new and exciting content for the game.”

这款游戏的抢先体验状态大约持续多久？

“We plan on keeping Arcane in Early Access for at least a year to give us time to refine the core aspects of the game, optimize the code and art for optimal performance, and add more content like characters, story content, and lore and history. We want to make sure that the game is as polished and engaging as possible before we release the final version. We'll also be adding new features, fixing bugs, and ensuring that the game runs smoothly on a wide range of hardware.

We're committed to making Arcane the best game that it can be, and we believe that staying in Early Access for at least a year will give us the time that we need to make the game truly special.”

计划中的完整版本和抢先体验版本到底有多少不同？

“The full release of Arcane will differ from Early Access in several key ways. The Early Access release will not be feature complete, meaning that all of the core mechanics and systems will not be fully implemented and polished. This includes the expansive open-world map, and features of it including non-player characters, creatures, items, and more.

Early Access:

• 1 Continent
  
• 1 Province
  
• 6 Towns
  
• 3 Buildable Home Styles

Full Release:
(Planned)

• 3 Continents
  
• 22 Provinces
  
• 74 Towns
  
• 14 Buildable Home Styles

For the full release, we also plan to include more quests and dungeons to delve into, providing a more deep and interactive, role-playing experience. We'll also plan to add more content, such as expanded loot like weapons, armor, and magic items, as well as more interactable items to enhance the gameplay experience.

Overall, the full release of Arcane is planned to be a more complete and refined experience than what is currently available in Early Access. We're excited to continue working on the game and creating a world that players will want to explore and immerse themselves in for hours.”

抢先体验版本的现状如何？

“The current Early Access build of Arcane is in a very early alpha state, and we're focused on releasing updates in the form modules. The first module we're releasing is the Building & Gathering module.

Current Features:

• Resource Gathering
  
• Home Building
  
• Cooking And Eating
  
• Home Defense
  
• Combat

**See the "About This" section of the page for more descriptive features of what is currently available.

Each module is planned to be developed and polished over the course of about a month before the next module is released in a similar early alpha state and then polished to perfection over the following month.

It's important to note that the game is still very early in development and is constantly evolving. As such, we recommend that potential players keep this in mind and understand that they are essentially purchasing a game that is still in active, alpha production. If you're not interested in playing a game in this stage of development, we recommend waiting for later releases when the game is more polished and further along in its development.”

在抢先体验期间和结束之后，游戏价格会有所不同吗？

“Yes, the game will be priced differently during and after Early Access. While the game is still in Early Access, the price will be lower than the final price. As new modules are added, the price will gradually increase to the price of common full-releases.

We want to reward early adopters and thank them for their support during the game's development. As such, we're offering the game at a lower price during Early Access as a thank you to those who choose to support us early on. We believe that this approach will help us create a strong and dedicated community around the game, which is one of our top priorities.”

在开发过程中，你们是如何计划让玩家社区参与进来的？

“As mentioned earlier, involving the community in our development process is our top priority for Arcane. We believe that community feedback is essential to create a game that people will love and enjoy playing. We're planning on engaging with our players and fans through social media, forums, our Discord server, and regular updates on our progress.

We've also mentioned that we're planning on implementing a variety of community-focused features such as modding and community-created content, as well as gathering feedback on gameplay mechanics, balancing, and content additions. Our team is committed to creating a game that is built in collaboration with our players and fans.”
