為何採用搶先體驗模式？

「Unlike our previous games, which were more linear and story-driven, Hollywood Animal offers lots of freedom and variability. It consists of a large number of systems that communicate with each other, and designing it took a delicate touch. We offered a fairly long demo for Steam Next Fest, and already received a huge amount of useful feedback, which helped us improve the game. We decided that we wanted to continue development in the same way – consistently, thoughtfully, and with the help of the players.」

這款遊戲的搶先體驗時間大約會持續多久？

「We plan to take the game out of Early Access by the end of 2025.」

正式版預計會與搶先體驗版有何不同？

「In the complete version, we plan to cover a longer historical period, and offer additional events and features. During Early Access, we'll also be fixing bugs, polishing up the mechanics, and perfecting the playability.」

搶先體驗版目前的開發進度如何？

「Hollywood Animal is a highly variable game with a huge number of choices, both large and small. It's loosely divided into three Acts, centering around the development of the film industry and world history. To kick off Early Access, we're offering players Act 1, which spans about twenty in-game years – and includes nearly all of the mechanics and events we planned for this period, in near-final quality. We'll be adding and improving the game regularly, as we move towards the full version.」

遊戲售價在搶先體驗期間前後會有所變動嗎？

「We're planning two price increases: one during Early Access when we add Act 2 to the game, and one more when the full game is released. People who support us now are getting the game for the lowest possible price.」

在開發過程中，您打算如何與社群互動？

「Ever since we released the demo, we've been collecting suggestions and bug reports from all over: our Discord channel, the Steam forums, emails, and even YouTube comments. Throughout Early Access, we'll keep gathering and building off player messages from every source we can find – but we always encourage everyone to join us on Discord for faster and more direct feedback.」
