為何採用搶先體驗模式？

「Bit Shifter is a full-featured game sporting novel gameplay. It is a 3D action/strategy game where you fly a hover-ship that can pickup, place, and heal your robotic soldiers; soldiers ready to fight in the war against the virus threatening your PC. Delivering the first 20 levels and a final boss level in a way that instructs without ever getting in the way of enjoying the game, has been challenging, and has involved many test iterations. Yet the game is not yet done.
We believe Early Access to be a great way for a small indie team such as Plastic Games to incrementally build upon its strong starting point and solid foundation.」

這款遊戲的搶先體驗時間大約會持續多久？

「We plan to be in early access until we deliver on our target feature set. We expect this will take about a year.」

正式版預計會與搶先體驗版有何不同？

「Bit Shifter groups levels and a final boss battle into a "System". In the first release System A has 20 levels and a boss level, and Windows and GNU/Linux/SteamOS support.

During Early Access we will add:
1. Systems B, and C with 50 more levels and 2 more Boss levels
2. Improve performance
3. Port to Mac OSX
4. Co-op mode - play with your friends
5. User Generated Content - create and share your own levels
6. Support for more controllers」

搶先體驗版目前的開發進度如何？

「The game play is solid and the game teaches you how to play as you go.
* Windows / Linux / SteamOS supported
* Full Game Controller Support with Natural FPS-style Control
* Arcade Action with a Robotic Bit Army
* Awesome Weapons and Power-ups
* Entertaining Story with Cool Characters
* Epic Boss Battle
* Ship and Weapon Upgrades
* Bonus Levels, Achievements, and more

The game is mostly bug free, however there are some issues such as:
* FPS drops at start of level
* poor FPS on some machines (low end AMD)
* only xbox and xbox style controllers currently supported」

遊戲售價在搶先體驗期間前後會有所變動嗎？

「Once Early Access is over and the game is released, we will raise the price.」

1. New Levels
2. Difficulty
3. Achievements
4. The story
5. New weapons
6. New enemies
7. Co-op play
