為何採用搶先體驗模式？

「We've decided to launch in Early Access because this is our first game and we're learning as we go! We're as indie as it gets, so we know we'll make some mistakes along the way. Early Access is our way of ensuring the game runs smoothly before we call it a complete experience. Besides, there's a limit to how many times we can ask our friends to be beta testers!

So our goal here is simple: fix any serious bugs the game might have and add more variety to the procedural trail your sheepdog has to follow. Any player feedback will definitely help us determine what we should add next. So we're hoping some of you will find your way to this page and help us give No Sheep Left Behind a final polish before release.」

這款遊戲的搶先體驗時間大約會持續多久？

「We don't anticipate a very long Early Access period - roughly 6 to 8 months. The plan is to launch the full version when it feels just right, after we've had a chance to (hopefully!) hear from some of you and ensure the core experience is polished. We're committed to avoiding "feature creep" or getting lost in unnecessary mechanics, as we just want to deliver a simple yet fun game as soon as possible.」

正式版預計會與搶先體驗版有何不同？

「I guess it depends on what people think of the game, but our plan so far is to add a few more maps and a wider variety of hazards to keep your sheepdog busy! Obviously, we also want to ensure the game runs smoothly and is as bug-free as possible. But right now, we're just thrilled if it runs without crashing!」

搶先體驗版目前的開發進度如何？

「We've got this game running on our machines and most of our friends' setups with no issues – there's just one rogue PC we're still wrestling with. We don't think there are any game-crashing bugs, but hey, that's why we're in Early Access! The game's core experience should be solid.

As shown in the gameplay footage, the procedural trail for your sheepdog to follow is currently composed of 9 different maps and four hazards that can kill or scatter your flock: wolf dens, archer towers, farmhouses, and any waterbody. We plan to add more variety to these as we go.」

遊戲售價在搶先體驗期間前後會有所變動嗎？

「Yes, the game will be available at a 20% discount (whenever possible) during Early Access. Once the game officially launches out of Early Access, it will be sold at its full price.」

在開發過程中，您打算如何與社群互動？

「This project started as a hobby among friends, and setting up this Steam page still feels a bit surreal. The thought of having a community involved? That would be awesome! While we're still figuring out the best way to do it, you can be sure we'll be closely monitoring player reviews and all community activity on the Steam page, taking your feedback to heart.

We're also exploring setting up a dedicated subreddit or Discord server to have more direct conversations. We'll keep everyone posted on any channels we create, as your input will be invaluable in shaping No Sheep Left Behind!」
