为何要采用抢先体验这种模式？

“Industronaut is a systems-driven factory automation and survival game, and its core strength lies in interconnected mechanics: production chains, logistics, drones, power management, and long-term progression.

Early Access allows us to develop these systems together with the community, using real player feedback to shape balance, usability, and feature priorities. Many of the design decisions in a game like this are best made after observing how players actually build, optimize, and break the systems.

The game is already playable and enjoyable in its current state, but several major systems are still evolving. Early Access gives us the flexibility to iterate faster, experiment with mechanics, and refine the experience based on player behavior rather than assumptions.

We want Early Access players to be part of the development process, not just early buyers.”

这款游戏的抢先体验状态大约持续多久？

“We plan for Industronaut to remain in Early Access for approximately 1 to 2 years.

This timeline depends on the progress of core systems such as production depth, automation balance, progression pacing, and overall stability. Our goal is to leave Early Access once the game reaches a point where its main mechanics feel complete, well-balanced, and polished enough for a full release.

If development progresses faster or if certain systems require additional iteration based on player feedback, this timeframe may adjust accordingly. We prefer to take the time needed to deliver a solid and cohesive experience rather than rushing a full release.”

计划中的完整版本和抢先体验版本到底有多少不同？

“We plan for the full version of Industronaut to expand significantly in depth, balance, and long-term progression compared to the Early Access version.

The full release is intended to feature a more complete endgame design, offering extended production chains, late-game challenges, and long-term goals beyond early automation setup. We also plan to further refine game balance, including resource flow, power management, and progression pacing, based heavily on player feedback gathered during Early Access.

Additional items, machines, and buildable structures are planned to broaden strategic options and support more diverse factory layouts and playstyles.

We also aim to improve and expand the narrative and scenario elements, providing better context for the player’s situation, clearer progression milestones, and a more cohesive overall experience.

Overall, the full version is planned to deliver a more polished, content-rich, and well-balanced experience, building on the foundation established during Early Access.”

抢先体验版本的现状如何？

“The Early Access version of Industronaut is fully playable and features a solid core gameplay loop.

Players can establish a base on the planet, set up a functioning hub, and work through multiple production stages involving resource extraction, processing, and automation. A wide range of props, machines, and buildable structures are already implemented, allowing players to design and expand their industrial setups.

The game currently includes a clear starting phase and early-to-mid progression scenario, where the player focuses on survival, infrastructure building, and stabilizing life on the planet. While many systems are already in place and usable, balance tuning, content expansion, and long-term progression are still under active development.

Overall, the current Early Access version offers a complete and enjoyable gameplay experience, with room to grow and improve as development continues.”

在抢先体验期间和结束之后，游戏价格会有所不同吗？

“We do not plan to change the price during Early Access.

After Early Access, at full release, we plan to increase the price.

The Early Access price reflects the current state of the game, and Early Access players will receive the game at a lower price compared to the full release.

在开发过程中，你们是如何计划让玩家社区参与进来的？

“We plan to actively involve the community throughout development by gathering feedback and ideas through channels such as Discord, Reddit, and direct email communication.

Player feedback will be used to help guide balancing decisions, usability improvements, and feature priorities during Early Access. We aim to observe how players interact with the game systems and use those insights to refine mechanics, progression, and overall experience.

Our goal is to maintain open communication with the community and make development decisions that are informed by real player experiences.”
