เหตุใดจึงเป็นช่วงระหว่างการพัฒนา?

“ConfigNexus's core vision is to build a community co-built, infinitely extensible game configuration workflow platform. While we already offer solid desktop configuration management, Excel-compatible editing, the CT column type system, and multi-format data export, the next phase of development is highly open-ended and customization-heavy.

Game developers' workflows vary enormously — RPG teams need quest/dialogue editors, CCG teams need gacha probability configs, SLG teams need complex numeric tables and cross-sheet reference validation. We can't decide development priorities behind closed doors.

Our core roadmap — the "Workshop Plugin Ecosystem" and the "Industry Template Pack System" — needs real user feedback to shape: which game engines deserve deep integration, which new CT column types are needed, which visual sub-editors developers want most urgently. Early Access isn't just about polishing existing features — it's about letting the community directly shape ConfigNexus's future feature map.”

ซอฟต์แวร์นี้จะอยู่ในช่วงระหว่างการพัฒนานานเท่าไรโดยประมาณ?

“We anticipate Early Access will last around 12 months. During this period we'll focus on completing the plugin SDK and Workshop ecosystem, expanding the native visual sub-editor suite, and tuning large-table performance based on real user project scales. The exact duration depends on the volume of community feedback we receive and how users prioritize new features.”

เวอร์ชันเต็มได้ถูกวางแผนไว้ให้แตกต่างจากเวอร์ชันระหว่างการพัฒนาอย่างไร?

“The current Early Access version is already a complete, production-ready configuration management toolkit — fully capable of handling daily config development on real game projects. It includes:

Core spreadsheet editing: Powered by the Luckysheet core, with multi-tab management and Excel-style shortcuts (formulas, filtering, freezing, conditional formatting).
CT column type system: Rich text, JSON, date, resource loader, multi-data structures, cross-sheet references — column types built specifically for game configuration.
Declarative data validation: DSL-based validation rules (required / unique / range / enum / ref / enum_ref / len / regex), composable with &&, errors highlighted in real time with jump-to-cell.
Flexible export system: Native export to JSON / YAML / CSV / Protobuf / C# data classes / MessagePack / binary formats.
Python script extensions: Built-in Python engine, allowing power users to customize workflows, cell-level functions, and persistent script libraries.
Version control integration: Built-in Git / SVN bridges — commit, revert, conflict resolution all within the tool.
Localization: Chinese / English / Japanese / Korean UI, with localization text deduplication and character whitelist extraction.
Developer toolbox: Character extraction, font subsetting, batch find-and-replace, table diff comparison, and other utility tools.
Workshop foundation: Plugin architecture is already in place — version control and other extension plugins already installable.”

สถานะปัจจุบันของเวอร์ชันระหว่างการพัฒนาเป็นอย่างไร?

“Here is the professional English translation, keeping the terminology consistent with the English store page copy you've already prepared:

The current Early Access version is already a fully functional configuration management toolset, perfectly capable of handling the daily configuration workflows of game projects. It includes:

Core Spreadsheet Editing: Powered by the Luckysheet core, supporting multi-tab management and familiar Excel-like operations (formulas, filtering, frozen panes, conditional formatting).

CT (Configuration Type) System: Custom column types designed specifically for game configuration, including Rich Text, JSON, Date, Resource Loader, Multi-Data Structures, and Cross-Sheet References.

Declarative Data Validation: DSL-based validation rules (required / unique / range / enum / ref / enum_ref / len / regex). Supports arbitrary combinations using &&, with real-time error highlighting and direct jumping to offending cells.

Versatile Export System: Native support for exporting to multiple formats, including JSON, YAML, CSV, Protobuf, auto-generated C# data classes, MessagePack, and custom Binary formats.

Python Script Extensions: A built-in Python engine allowing advanced users to customize workflows, write cell-level functions, and maintain persistent script libraries.

Workshop Foundation: The underlying plugin architecture is fully in place, currently supporting the subscription and installation of extension plugins (such as version control integrations).”

ซอฟต์แวร์นี้จะมีราคาเปลี่ยนแปลงไปหรือไม่ในระหว่างและหลังจากช่วงระหว่างการพัฒนา?

“Yes — we plan to moderately raise the price when we exit Early Access and release the full version. We want to thank our early supporters with a lower initial price; as the Workshop plugin ecosystem, visual sub-editor suite, and advanced features continue to mature, the software's value will grow accordingly.”

คุณกำลังวางแผนให้ชุมชนมีส่วนร่วมในขั้นตอนการพัฒนาของคุณอย่างไร?

“ConfigNexus is a tool built for developers, so our users are themselves the most expert advisors we could ask for. We'll maintain high-frequency interaction through the Steam Community Discussions and the official Discord channel:

Workflow pain point collection: Invite users to share their unique project structures and configuration scenarios as real input for the next phase.

Feature priority voting: Regular polls on new feature priorities (e.g., the next visual sub-editor, the next export format, the most urgently needed CT column type).

Community-built Workshop: Encourage users to share their custom Python scripts, CT column types, and exporters — outstanding community contributions have a chance to be officially integrated into the plugin ecosystem.

Core user beta group: Our Discord is open — power users get direct access to the dev team and early previews of new features.”
