为何要采用抢先体验这种模式？

“Eye of the Commando is an uncommon fusion of two genres. While we certainly have a roadmap to see the game to completion, we have a strong desire to involve the community in decisions about what particular features of this fusion are the most interesting and exciting. How hard should we lean in to the dungeon exploration aspect? How much action is the right amount of action for something ultimately turn based? What are the best things to keep from the genre's arcade roots, and what can be left behind? We know from experience shipping other Early Access Steam titles that EA players are excited about being part of the guideposts for a game's growth and that it is an enjoyable way to build community together.”

这款游戏的抢先体验状态大约持续多久？

“Our target is to have a final game launched twelve months from Early Access launch. It might slip. But this schedule includes baked in time for holidays, vacation, maintaining other projects, and other bits of work life balance.”

计划中的完整版本和抢先体验版本到底有多少不同？

“There are three targets here. We want more gameplay, about 200% more in terms of playable levels, crushable monsters, and lootable goods than what is in currently. The current game feels like a first act. We would like to see improved visual and audio assets, where we aim the game's resources toward what feels right for this genre blend. Finally, we want to see the fruits of what comes from community collaboration. Part of building a community is discovering what excites them, and weaving that into the game to the best of our ability. This sort of unknown-but-important content is core to our Early Access goal and not an afterthought.”

抢先体验版本的现状如何？

“A real start to finish fun and playable adventure, with meat on the bone! A six level campaign, five classes to choose from, about a dozen monster types, lots of loot, danger, secrets, and puzzles. Playtesters have been coming up with new builds, strategies, and fighting for places on the pre-release leaderboard. There is plenty to play.”

在抢先体验期间和结束之后，游戏价格会有所不同吗？

“Right now we're thinking the price stays the same. It may go up for full release, but there's a lot to consider there, and we want the community to feel both respected and listened to.”

在开发过程中，你们是如何计划让玩家社区参与进来的？

“Eye of the Commando has had an open development process, with twitch streams nearly every day showing off the work, as well as the open and friendly Adventurepro Discord Server. Those will be the two primary communication methods with the community.

Direct feedback is appreciated and useful, but can also be very scatter shot, so we'll also have periods of time where we focus on feedback for specific features.”
