为何要采用抢先体验这种模式？

“I am currently the only developer of this game. I work on it in my free time, and getting more people engaged in the development process would be very helpful and fun!”

这款游戏的抢先体验状态大约持续多久？

“Difficult to say, but there are lots of core features left to implement and I do not think that the full release will be closer than 3 years from now.”

计划中的完整版本和抢先体验版本到底有多少不同？

“The Early Access is currently not ready to be played, as I have yet to add some things, polish and combine the seperate systems and features I have into a solid gameplay loop. What will be present on the early alpha release are atleast the following features:

* Character Creation - Facial hair/hair-styles (25 to mix and match) and sliders for sizes on different body parts.
* Map Generation - 2 different biomes, one with soft and one with hard bottom.
* Combat - on the seafloor and in the water, against crabs, fish and worms (three enemies with vastly different behaviours).
* Weapons - a dagger, a spear, and a speargun.
* Echosystem establishment - at least 3 different algae to plant (grass algae, bullwhip kelp, and sawtooth kelp), one invasive species (sea urchin), and one recruitable species (something triggerfish-like).
* Resource management - Health, stamina, soft tissue (for algae planting, healing and taming), hard tissue (for hard structures such as weapons).
* Online co-op.

For the full release I would like to add:

* More character creation options
* Clothes.
* Inventory management
* Talent trees for three different classes to mix and match between. One focused on pets, one on mutations, and one on handheld weapons.
* Player mutations such as pincers, mermaid tails and tentacles, and a system for unlocking them.
* More weapons and abilities such as "poisonous ink spray" and "piranha swarm".
* Atleast 4 more biomes - seamounts, marine trenches, brine mires and worm plains.
* Atleast 1 boss per zone, and concequences within the world when overcoming them.
* A whole lot of more species to fight and recruit to your echosystems.
* Coral structures to build - for farming, storage, protection, NPC shelter, and more!
* Some graphical reworks to improve overall coherency and quality”

抢先体验版本的现状如何？

“Not accessible, as I have yet to polish and combine the separate systems and features I have into a solid gameplay loop. The currently existing systems and features are most of the ones I mentioned in the previous answer:

* Character Creation - Facial hair/hair-styles (25 to mix and match) and sliders for sizes on different body parts.
* Map Generation - 2 different biomes, one with soft and one with hard bottom.
* Combat - on the seafloor and in the water, against crabs, fish (no worms yet).
* Weapons - a dagger (spear, speargun are not yet implemented).
* Echosystem establishment - at least 3 different algae to plant (grass algae, bullwhip kelp, and sawtooth kelp), one invasive species (pet recruitment not implemented yet).
* Resource management - Health, stamina, soft tissue (for algae planting, healing and taming), hard tissue (for hard structures such as weapons).
* Online co-op.

Hopefully I will consider it ready for early alpha release before 2024.”

在抢先体验期间和结束之后，游戏价格会有所不同吗？

“Yes. To partake in early access is incredibly valueable to me, so any who is kind enough to do so will get the game cheaper than when it comes to full release.”

在开发过程中，你们是如何计划让玩家社区参与进来的？

“Through social media (mostly Instagram and Facebook for the time being) and Steam.”
