为何要采用抢先体验这种模式？

“Early Access isn’t just about playing early, it’s about being part of the journey. Your ideas, feedback, and experiences will directly shape Hillshade Farm, making it the best it can be!

A Living, Growing Experience – This is the type of game that can constantly be expanded and perfected. Instead of rushing to a final release, we want to work closely with players to refine mechanics, improve balance, and add meaningful content.

Your Feedback Matters – Early Access allows us to listen to the community and shape the game based on real player experiences.

A Strong Foundation – The core mechanics are already in place, but your suggestions will help refine and improve the game over time.”

这款游戏的抢先体验状态大约持续多久？

“ We estimate around 1 year in Early Access before the full release. However, this is not set in stone; we will take the time needed to ensure the game reaches its full potential. Our priority is quality, depth, and player satisfaction rather than rushing to a 1.0 launch. ”

计划中的完整版本和抢先体验版本到底有多少不同？

“There is a lot on the plate for this game! We plan to work this project to perfection, from smallest details to the foundations. Here are some of the main points:

✅ More advanced farming mechanics – Implementation of Terrain Deformation, better Physics. Plant Systems are already quite refined with the game at its current state, so Plants shouldn't change much, we can only add more varieties.

✅ Expanded animal care – Improved AI, mostly. The AI we envision is ALIVE, the animals react to environment, sounds, fast movements, weather, predators etc. This one is a must, and very important. A more basic version of this is currently implemented, it should be only improved from this point. And of course adding new Animals, but that is a breeze.

✅ More buildings & customization – More ways to design your farm, decorate your land, and upgrade structures. These systems don't need much refining, they are already solid. All that we plan to add here is simply more content.

✅ Additional farm tools & vehicles – Expanding the player’s ability to automate tasks and manage large-scale farms. Right now the game offers 4 vehicles; a Small and a Big Tractor, an ATV and a Pickup Truck. We plan to greatly expand this area of the game. Just more farm machinery overall.

✅ Dynamic world improvements – More seasonal effects, and environmental depth. This one is not that big.

✅ Performance & Polish – Optimized gameplay, smoother animations, and bug fixes. This one needs to be done over and over and over again. The game should run smoothly while looking good.”

抢先体验版本的现状如何？

“The game is currently being developed since November 2024, and we plan to be working on Early Access until Release planned in November 2025. With this project, functionality and complex Farming Systems are a priority, which are mostly all implemented!

Therefore, the rest of development will focus on adding lots of Content, fixing bugs, and polishing all the Gameplay Mechanics and the Open World Map! We plan to showcase the progress right here on our Steam Page!

Already Implemented:
✔️ Farm Building & Customization – Design your farm with free placement of buildings, fences, and structures.
✔️ Crop Farming – Plow, plant, water, and harvest a variety of crops.
✔️ Animal Care – Raise and manage chickens, cows, and more, with full feeding and breeding systems.
✔️ Tractors & Tools – Use farming vehicles to plow, seed, and water your fields.

While the foundation is strong and enjoyable, we know that there’s still room to improve!”

在抢先体验期间和结束之后，游戏价格会有所不同吗？

在开发过程中，你们是如何计划让玩家社区参与进来的？

“We’re not just asking for feedback, we want to shape the game with the community.

📝 Planned Roadmap – We plan to release a detailed roadmap outlining upcoming features, expansions, and improvements. Players will have input on this roadmap.
