为何要采用抢先体验这种模式？

“With the feedback and reactions of players we can tweak the battle system until its perfected.
The foremost most important aspect of the game is awesome combat, which requires many playtesters to perfect. By releasing in early access we can get the data and feedback we need to refine the combat.
Since the game is meant to be fun enough to replay on different difficulties as well as custom settings we think players will be okay with replaying the game as it evolves. Especially since exercise is a big benefit of the game and so replaying it in its different versions will be healthy for players.”

这款游戏的抢先体验状态大约持续多久？

“Not sure, but the scope of the project is tight and we will budget our time thriftily. We work on the project part time, but we have a very narrow scope so we are confident the project will finish and release fully once we tweak it enough. We hope to fully release by September 2025.”

计划中的完整版本和抢先体验版本到底有多少不同？

“We are aiming for the Full Version to have: improved graphics, sound and art, all bosses done, completed story, as well as various settings to customize the experience.

More specifically the current version has:
- 2 basically done bosses
- 1 boss that is done gameplay wise but we plan to remake with new assets and better animations.
- 1 boss that is playable but we plan to remake.
- 1 prototype boss that is mostly a joke that we will replace later.
- 2 weapons, both with placeholder models
- Placeholder VFX and graphics, and basically no backgrounds.
- Bosses are missing sound effects. Hit sound effects are also placeholder.
- No tutorial, but a instruction screens.

We are hoping final version will have:
- 6-7 Full totally done bosses. With proper sound effects and visual effects.
- Tutorial to make onboarding easier.
- Much better graphics with a unique artstyle.
- At least 3 weapons.
- A story, likely shown through in-game comic/visual novel type cutscenes.
- Many ways to customize the experience and improve replayability.”

抢先体验版本的现状如何？

“This is early, with only a few bosses available to play against, and a physics system we are still adjusting. Most graphics are also placeholder.

As mentioned above the details are:
- 2 basically done bosses (TreeWoman, The Father)
- 1 boss that is done gameplay wise but we plan to remake with new assets and better animations. (Paladin)
- 1 boss that is playable but we plan to remake. (Werewolf)
- 1 prototype boss that is mostly a joke that we will replace later. (Tree)
- 2 weapons, both with placeholder models
- Placeholder VFX and graphics, and basically no backgrounds.
- Bosses are missing sound effects. Hit sound effects are also placeholder.
- No tutorial, but instruction screens.”

在抢先体验期间和结束之后，游戏价格会有所不同吗？

“Yes, as we add more to the game the price of the game will increase. So cheaper to buy it early.”

在开发过程中，你们是如何计划让玩家社区参与进来的？

“We will regularly check forums and hope to see how players play the game.
We are hoping the steam forums will be the main method of communication, however we may also create a discord channel.
The biggest goal is to adjust difficulty as well as tune boss attacks so they seem "fair but challenging". We also want to make sure there is nothing frustrating about the combat and may try to add more options for players with limited room space.
We may also adjust weapons based on player feedback, and possibly add additional weapons if there is enough player demand.”
