為何採用搶先體驗模式？

「Our aim is for Banter to become the number one destination for socialising in VR:

- To provide a seamless cross platform experience between PCVR and standalone.
- To build support for the latest technologies including body, face, lip and eye tracking.
- To grow a community around events, content creation and world building.
- To develop tools for streamers and content creators to be able to leverage Banter for professional recording/live streaming.
- To leverage existing tools along with the power of the open web to allow for gamified and connected experiences. We want to delight and engage our users with high replayability potential.
- To build some of the most technically impressive first party content with a strong focus on performance and optimisation.
- To work with our community, to collaborate and build together.
- To support our users, listen to their feedback and implement the popular features that they all want. Taking suggestions in every way possible through our discord ( over 3k members ), facebook, twitter and our steam community.
- To work towards interoperability with other apps in the space, to build the metaverse.

Our early access will allow us to build a community around our spaces and creators while constantly improving the user experience, adding support for more headsets and controllers and improving the tools that give creators the freedom to build their own worlds.

We are pumped!」

這款遊戲的搶先體驗時間大約會持續多久？

「Approximately one year.」

正式版預計會與搶先體驗版有何不同？

「Over the course of Early Access, just some of the things we plan to add include:
- More "flagship" spaces; that is, premium experiences created by the Banter development team
- Improved support for game creation, and launching our own game spaces: shooters, football, tag - anything is possible!
- Support for more VR headsets and controllers
- Improved creator tools - if we can build it in our flagship spaces, you can build it too!
- Streamlining of support for 2D players including an "easy" control mode for KBM and joypad to go alongside our current "simulated hands" controls
- Constant improvements to the user experience/UI」

搶先體驗版目前的開發進度如何？

「At launch, we have three of our own flagship spaces that users can explore with their friends and complete strangers: The Backrooms, Slipstream Island, and Winter Sports Resort

We launch with support for OpenXR headsets and controllers including first-class support for Index, Vive and Quest/Touch. If you don't have a VR headset, you can launch in 2D mode and join in the fun, but some of the more complex physics-based motion such as gestures and climbing will currently be difficult.

The User Interface is functional if a little clunky, but we think it's fine to use for now.

As a creator, you can already build your own spaces using AFrame and Unity, and we have basic documentation and examples available for that.」

遊戲售價在搶先體驗期間前後會有所變動嗎？

「No, Banter is likely to remain free.」

在開發過程中，您打算如何與社群互動？

「We mostly coordinate with our community on Discord, but we will have some presence on the Steam forums too. We love our community and embrace creators and community-run events!」
