為何採用搶先體驗模式？

「I'm a solo developer (with a little occasional outside help) making the game that I've always wanted to play myself. A tennis game that doesn't rely solely on gamepad acrobatics but instead captures more of the essence of actual tennis - the tactical battle for the upper hand with every stroke.

In its current basic gameplay loop, this game already exists. But what goes on top of this foundation is very much up for debate. Career mode? Multiplayer? Special player skills? Real life tennis arenas? Real life tennis player names and stats? What to implement and how will greatly depend on the community - its preferences and quite frankly also its size.

Early Access gives me the opportunity to hear different sides, try out different approaches, and ultimately implement game systems that appeal to the majority of fans out there. It will also help gage the interest in this type of game and from there help determine the scope of the pre-release roadmap.」

這款遊戲的搶先體驗時間大約會持續多久？

「The plan is to release near the end of 2026, but being solo, it's easy for things to hit an unexpected life event or roadblock, so 2026-2027 is the general timeframe.」

正式版預計會與搶先體驗版有何不同？

「The current early beta version is fully playable in single player mode in exhibition matches and individual tournaments. The full version hopefully will feature:
* Season mode (e.g. playing multiple tournaments, adding fatigue management)
* Career mode (e.g. playing year over year, adding player progression and aging)
* True multiplayer mode (playing against online opponents in 1-1 matches and 32-128 human player tournaments)
* Global player leagues & rankings
* Customizable player features & accessories
* and more...
How much and in which way these get implemented will depend greatly on feedback from fans participating in Early Access.」

搶先體驗版目前的開發進度如何？

「The basic game loop is fully functional (although, bugs exist for sure). You can create new player characters, play in single player Exhibition matches and Tournaments vs pre-made players (AI or a human player in co-op mode), collect prize money, hire (and fire) coaches and use them to improve your skills and abilities. A rudimentary Replay feature exists that allows to play back an entire tennis match in one go (rather than turn by turn). A lot of the game art is done but there are some placeholder graphics (especially for AI players).」

遊戲售價在搶先體驗期間前後會有所變動嗎？

「Most likely the price will increase for and after the full release, but again this will depend entirely on the final roadmap and scope coming out of Early Access.」

在開發過程中，您打算如何與社群互動？

「The Steam discussion board will be the main point of interaction with the development process for fans, and frequented regularly by myself to provide updates, and collect, request and respond to feedback.」
