為何採用搶先體驗模式？

「Ops is already a fully playable game, but what we envision for the game is so much more than it currently is. As full-time VLA Operators, we are busy enough operating the real VLA and don't have boundless time to devote to developing this game. However, rather than keep it locked away from public view, we think it would be more fun and interesting to share it with the gaming community as it develops. This also gives YOU the opportunity to give us input on it! If we like your ideas, we might very well include them in future versions of the game!」

這款遊戲的搶先體驗時間大約會持續多久？

「At least one year on the lower end. Some games seem to linger in the limbo of endless Early Access, but we don't really see the point of that. At some point in the development cycle, we intend to remove the "Early Access" designation. The point at which this will occur is based on how happy we are with the game, i.e. "Does it include all of the elements we believe are essential to our vision for the game? Does it feel 'done'??". Exactly when this occurs will be based on how much time we can devote to development, which is unknown but probably on the order of a few hours per week on average. Our best estimate is that the Early Access period will last for about 2 to 3 years.」

正式版預計會與搶先體驗版有何不同？

「With the full version, we hope to include a few cool improvements, such as:

• Worldwide leaderboards.
  
• A wider variety of enemies and weapons.
  
• Power-ups that enhance the lethality of the VLA and assist the player in various ways.
  
• More options for difficulty level, graphics settings, control configurations, and any other desired tweakables.
  
• Support for a wider variety of devices and operating systems.
  
• Better performance on legacy hardware.

搶先體驗版目前的開發進度如何？

「Fully playable with nine levels. Features about 45 minutes of all original music, a mixture of hand-drawn and AI-generated artwork, two basic varieties and four subvarieties of enemy, one main weapon and one power-up weapon available to the player.」

遊戲售價在搶先體驗期間前後會有所變動嗎？

「Yes, the Early Access version is priced a bit lower than the full version is intended to be. This is meant to incentivize early adoption and to reward our valued customers who choose to support us as the game is actively being developed.」

在開發過程中，您打算如何與社群互動？

「We intend to incorporate as many of the improvement suggestions we receive from the gaming community as possible. Any ideas that fit with our vision for the game may very well be added. Please just keep in mind that we cannot compensate people who submit ideas. Therefore, please only submit original ideas that you don't mind us stealing. We will try, whenever practical, to give credit where credit is due.」
