왜 앞서 해보기를 진행하나요?

“The current release of Frustration Factory contains a "month" and a half of playable levels (42 in total so far) that are highly addictive and introduce many challenging game mechanics.

I intend to create about 3 "month"s of levels before releasing a "full" version. Rather than wait to complete all of these, I would prefer to get early feedback from early adopters so I can take their feedback into account while developing the future components and levels. I expect the game to be dynamically improved based on the received feedback.”

얼마나 오래 앞서 해보기를 진행할 계획인가요?

“This project is simply a labor of love and will be worked on in spurts over time.”

정식 버전은 앞서 해보기 버전과 어떻게 달라지나요?

“I plan to develop many new features, levels and game mechanics for the full version. Development time will be spent also improving the user interface, tutorials, the graphical components and general playability. What gets the most attention the fastest will likely be based on received feedback from early adopters as to what is critical before releasing the final version. Besides just reporting bugs, I would love to hear what people think about the game in general. Knowing what levels people find the best or must frustrating will directly impact the future development of the game.”

앞서 해보기 버전은 현재 어떤 상태인가요?

“Frustration Factory contains a very playable set of 42 levels and some beta-testers have actively played for hours unable to walk away, so it has already achieved the goal of a hard-to-put-down-game. The early-access version already contains the ability to play under multiple profiles, an extra set of achievements to earn (both in-game and synced to steam), a set of tutorials that introduces each new game mechanic.”

앞서 해보기 기간 전후로 게임 가격이 달라지나요?

“Final pricing has yet to be decided upon, but it will be higher than the early access releases. As more features and more levels are added the price will go up for all new purchases, but getting in early means you'll get them all as free updates.”

개발 과정에서 어떻게 커뮤니티와 소통할 계획인가요?

“I would love comments and suggestions. My todo list is already very long but would love to hear other suggestions people have for the game. I really need to know what you like about it, what you don't like, and what do you think about after you walk away? What is grabbing your attention? What puzzles/difficulties have you thinking about solutions while out walking, cooking, etc? When do you quit, why? Late for School/Work? Boredom? Exhaustion? Need time to think? All of this feedback have a direct effect on the game development priorities. For example, getting feedback about everyone's favorite features and game mechanics will directly drive the types of future game mechanics and levels under development. Please leave comments directly in the steam reviews or find me on discord on the "frosted axe studios" web page.

I look forward to all your comments!”
