為何採用搶先體驗模式？

「Previously when I was developing FINAL PROFIT, I waited until release to make the game available to the public. That ended up harming the reach and visibility, so this time with OIL TOWN I am trying a different method by going Early Access. I also develop best by seeing how players play, so putting it in your hands earlier will allow me to make a better game.」

這款遊戲的搶先體驗時間大約會持續多久？

「I'm aiming to complete the game within the year.」

正式版預計會與搶先體驗版有何不同？

「After the opening phase of the game where we are working to save enough to buy the land we need, I plan to expand into another phase where we will have to operate our own well from scratch without the infrastructure available in the opening phase, eventually growing our base area to the point where a lot of the tasks are handled by worker NPCs and machines. There is also an end goal for the story that I am working towards.」

搶先體驗版目前的開發進度如何？

「The first phase is completable, but there are still subsystems that I need to finish implementing to flesh out the experience and make it richer. Refer to the "About This" section below for details on the current state.」

遊戲售價在搶先體驗期間前後會有所變動嗎？

「My plan is to increase the price when leaving early access.」

在開發過程中，您打算如何與社群互動？

「I would love for feedback, either through the Steam forums here or over on Discord (there is an Oil Town channel in the Final Profit Discord. I also post a live development log there for those interested).

If you plan to stream the game, do let me know and I'll try to catch it, that is one of the best ways for me to see how players are interacting with the game.」
