为何要采用抢先体验这种模式？

“MapHub is a tool for gamers, by gamers. While we have a pretty good idea of the direction for the development, we want to involve the community so that they can shape the features they'll be using, both for creating content as well as consuming it.”

这款软件的抢先体验状态大约持续多久？

“Like our previous title Noise-o-matic, we expect the Early Access stage to run 3-6 months, possibly more depending on the community feedback.”

计划中的完整版本和抢先体验版本到底有多少不同？

“As we continue development, we'll be improving the editing tools and adding new features that can extend the scope of MapHub not just for online gaming.

MapHub will also get additional languages during Early Access based on the community engagement from various regions.

Finally, the user experience may vary quite significantly based on user feedback, compared to the Early Access version.”

抢先体验版本的现状如何？

“The early access version already includes a map editor and basic social widget, and of course, the Steam Workshop native support.

It is possible to create maps, share them on the workshop, and invite your friends in a MapHub lobby.

Maps already feature Points Of Interests, categories as well as attachments.

The UI needs some polishing but is still very usable with many search and filtering capabilities.”

在抢先体验期间和结束之后，这款软件的价格会有所不同吗？

“As we get towards the final release, and for the final stage of early access (sometimes after 15th August 2024), MapHub will switch from free to play to paid.

The final release will be the same price, though certainly there will be a launch discount.”

在开发过程中，你们是如何计划让玩家社区参与进来的？

“We have always been very active on our discord and forum during the development of our previous title, already published on Steam (Noise-o-matic), and plan on doing so also for MapHub.

We value our users feedback and we want you to be involved in shaping the future of MapHub. This means we'll adapt the existing tools or create new ones based on user feedback and engagement.

Additionally, depending on the involvement of the community, we will prioritize additional languages for the localization based on user feedback.”
