เหตุใดจึงเป็นช่วงระหว่างการพัฒนา?

“With an open-world game of this scale and complexity, we have two concerns:

• Stability especially with respect to platforming & object interaction edge cases.
  
• Filling the world with meaningful content beyond the core sequence of meaty, dense areas with lots of hard-designed interactions (dungeons etc).

To deliver the comprehensive experience we want, we need feedback beyond what we can feasibly acquire alone. Thus, We need your help finding the aforementioned bits of unexpected behavior and sources of instability, as well as pointing us in the right direction for new areas relative to what's working (design-wise) and what's not.

Joining us in early access means getting to play the majority of the game's core early, but also following along and giving feedback as we gradually flesh out the world further.”

เกมนี้จะอยู่ในช่วงระหว่างการพัฒนานานเท่าไรโดยประมาณ?

“We expect to be in early access for 6-8 months.”

เวอร์ชันเต็มได้ถูกวางแผนไว้ให้แตกต่างจากเวอร์ชันระหว่างการพัฒนาอย่างไร?

“We plan to launch early access with the majority of the highly dense & focused zones (dungeons) but in order to reach our target it's likely the last couple endgame areas will be unfinished and inaccessible.

Besides this, content that will get filled out in early access will most likely be categorized under:

• side quests / specific character quests
  
• minute timeline-specific interactions, such as new events that happen on specific days
  
• localized gameplay content i.e. minigames & mini-dungeons with isolated rewards

”

สถานะปัจจุบันของเวอร์ชันระหว่างการพัฒนาเป็นอย่างไร?

“Presently, the intro and starting village are filled out and mostly representative of the form they'll take in release.
Additionally, the first two dungeons are completeable.
Beyond this, most of the overworld is exploreable, but very light on actual content.”

เกมจะมีราคาเปลี่ยนแปลงไปหรือไม่ในระหว่างและหลังจากช่วงระหว่างการพัฒนา?

“No.”

คุณกำลังวางแผนให้ชุมชนมีส่วนร่วมในขั้นตอนการพัฒนาของคุณอย่างไร?

“While core aspects of the game are driven heavily by a focused, top-down vision, much of the content micro is open to user input, and we welcome feedback with respect to what areas and content to iterate further and how to balance. This might include things like player mobility & combat, game pace, and world/routing design on the small scale (such as shortcuts).

We expect to communicate early access progress and intentions regularly on forums, and respond to questions, reported design problems, and broad design discussions the community is having there.”
