为何要采用抢先体验这种模式？

“I believe in involving the community during the development phase of this very niche game. I don't believe there is any other game or computer-based simulation quite like it at the moment. So, whilst it may only attract a niche audience, I believe that audience is quite passionate. I welcome all feedback during the Early Access phase so that I can deliver an authentic experience in this very unique genre. ”

这款游戏的抢先体验状态大约持续多久？

“I am currently planning for the Early Access phase to last anywhere between 6-12 months. This may change (either reduce or increase) if priorities/scoping for the project changes during development.”

计划中的完整版本和抢先体验版本到底有多少不同？

“The full version will add additional components and mechanics to the game world, as well as having more diverse 'contracts' for the player to complete.

During the development process, I am planning on adding an additional boiler, a steam jet condenser, and many upgrade options for the pumping station itself.

Not to mention, other aspects of the game will be further refined and polished during Early Access, and included in the full version release.”

在抢先体验期间和结束之后，游戏价格会有所不同吗？

“The price of the game will be lower during the Early Access phase. I believe in rewarding early players of the game by making it more accessible and it is hoped that with ongoing community feedback during the Early Access phase, Empire Water Works will be developed to be the best it can be as we approach v1.0 release.”

在开发过程中，你们是如何计划让玩家社区参与进来的？

“Most of the community interaction I plan to have will be via the Steam discussion boards and through my social media channels such as my YouTube channel and Facebook page.”
