왜 앞서 해보기를 진행하나요?

“Before Last Convoy, I spent seven years on a big project. Large team, publishers, the whole deal. During those years I managed to get married and divorced, survive COVID, live through a couple of team collapses (when publishers suddenly "ran out of money"), work for years on "future profit share", and other joys of gamedev.

We had hundreds of thousands of wishlists. We couldn't afford to screw up. But we did — missed the release window and messed up plenty of other things.

You know what? I'm done with that. No more polishing a game for years hoping it becomes perfect. It won't. It'll just get outdated.

I'm making Last Convoy solo. No publishers, no investors, no "release in six months" (for seven years straight). Early Access — because I want to make this game not FOR you, but WITH you. I want to know what you like, what pisses you off, what's missing.

Let's go?”

얼마나 오래 앞서 해보기를 진행할 계획인가요?

“I'm planning two to three months, but it may stretch to six. Once the visuals, levels for all biomes, and all faction designs look finished, the base upgrade system is implemented, the level editor and story campaign are done — I'll leave Early Access. After that — support and further development. If sales allow me to hire an artist, I'll replace the rough AI art with better AI art made under professional supervision.”

정식 버전은 앞서 해보기 버전과 어떻게 달라지나요?

“In Early Access: 3 biomes, basic enemy roster, procedural levels, global map.
By release I'll add:

All 6 biomes with unique enemies
Base system and survivors
Story campaign
Polished visuals — if I can afford an artist, they'll refine the AI art to professional quality
Additional game modes
Handcrafted levels — if I hire a level designer, there will be more than just procedural maps
Level editor
Story — ideally I want to add a narrative

What exactly will be there? Depends on you. You buy — I develop. You tell me what you want — I make it. Simple as that.”

앞서 해보기 버전은 현재 어떤 상태인가요?

“The game is playable. Core gameplay works:

The convoy assembles, drives, shoots, falls apart
Enemies attack, latch on, die
Three biomes with procedural level generation
Bosses, progression, upgrades, different car types, gameplay events (storms, toxic clouds, road decay, etc.)

Graphics are AI-generated for now — it works, looks fine, but if I can hire an artist — it'll get better.
But this is the foundation — not the final game. I'm waiting for your feedback to understand what to develop first (visuals, balance, gameplay, or features).”

앞서 해보기 기간 전후로 게임 가격이 달라지나요?

“I'll raise it if the game quality justifies it. I need to not be ashamed to ask for more. Until I'm sure — the price stays. Those who bought in Early Access get all updates for free.”

개발 과정에서 어떻게 커뮤니티와 소통할 계획인가요?

“Steam — for sure. Reviews, discussions, I read everything. If Discord is more convenient for you — I'll be there too. Whatever works for you.”
