왜 앞서 해보기를 진행하나요?

“As a rhythm game, a significant part of the appeal and longevity of Thirsty Bird is user-generated content (that is, custom levels/charts.) The game supports custom charts at the moment, but the tooling is basic and may presently lack features important to those interested in making content for Thirsty Bird. In my view, the wisest way to develop robust UGC support is to respond to players' wishes as to what kind of tooling and features the game should include.”

얼마나 오래 앞서 해보기를 진행할 계획인가요?

“I will publish a 1.0 version Q2 of 2025.”

정식 버전은 앞서 해보기 버전과 어떻게 달라지나요?

“For the full version, I am tentatively planning to develop more robust tooling and features for UGC. In decreasing order of plausibility, this may include: BPM interpolation, many more items (note types,) an in-game chart editor, shader support, cutscene support, etc.

I also plan to include extra first-party levels and game modes to increase replayability. Highest priority first, those are: "hard mode" for all 5 official levels, a second "chapter" of five levels with all-new mechanics, achievement-locked skins, a procedurally generated endless mode per chapter.”

앞서 해보기 버전은 현재 어떤 상태인가요?

“At present, Thirsty Bird includes one "chapter" of five levels, each with its own environment, mechanic, and song. The chapter is fully playable. The game also includes support for custom levels using a simple text-based syntax.”

앞서 해보기 기간 전후로 게임 가격이 달라지나요?

“Thirsty Bird will never exceed its current price point.”

개발 과정에서 어떻게 커뮤니티와 소통할 계획인가요?

“Primarily, I will be fielding opinions and feedback about UGC workflows to ensure that making custom levels is a pleasant experience, and that the tooling is flexible enough to enable players' creativity. I am also open to conducting surveys to help re-prioritize some of my planned first-party features. (For example, skins may end up being much more important to players than additional modes, so I would develop that feature first.)

To provide feedback, feel free to post on the game's Community Discussion Hub, join the Thirsty Bird Central Discord server, or reach out to the developers directly via the game's support email address.”
