為何採用搶先體驗模式？

「Unfortunately, due to a myriad of external factors, we have had to put Forging Glory ON HOLD for the time being in favor of smaller titles.

It's been an amazing, and painstaking, five year journey. We've learned a lot and experienced wonderful memories we'll cherish forever. We hope you will continue to join us in our game development adventure by joining us in playing our smaller titles.

Again, apologies, and thank you all.

Forging Glory has been in development for many years by a very small team, and it's long past due for a substantially wider audience to experience its glory and shape its future.」

這款遊戲的搶先體驗時間大約會持續多久？

「The subjective threshold for completion will be when we and the community believe any rough edges have been rounded out.

We acknowledge there is plenty of potential depth to add, given its looter-shooter elements. It would not be off the table for new, highly demanded features, to be added during early access based on player feedback.

If we had to pick a date, ideally, before June.」

正式版預計會與搶先體驗版有何不同？

「Although all core features are currently in the game, we acknowledge there is a lot of room for expansion to add even more depth:

• Persistent world-wide multiplayer campaigns, effectively asymmetrical player-versus-player on a massive scale.
  
• Expanded crafting mechanisms, giving players even more power to build their gladiators.
  
• New weapons, such as mauls and daggers.
  
• New special abilities, such as nets, bolas, traps, headbutts, slides, shield charging, and more.
  
• New skins for more aesthetic variety (no microtransactions!).
  
• Social features, such as friends lists, clans, grouping, and global chat.
  
• Anything the community feels would make Forging Glory a staple in their gaming life!

Ultimately, we will need to balance our own vision with player feedback, and choose what is necessary before release, versus what can be offered after release.」

搶先體驗版目前的開發進度如何？

「All core features are in the game:

• Physics-based combat.
  
• Currently 7 unique weapons.
  
• Infinite dynamic campaigns, playable both alone or multiplayer, cooperatively or competitively.

• Shop, to aid in finding items you seek (no microtransactions!).
  
• Smith, to aid in crafting ideal items.
  
• 10 avatar skins (no microtransactions!).
  
• Even an auto-GIF generator, for easy bragging to friends!

遊戲售價在搶先體驗期間前後會有所變動嗎？

「We only intend to raise the price if we dramatically expand beyond the current features.

If it were to happen, it would likely be at or after release.」

在開發過程中，您打算如何與社群互動？

「We firmly believe that for Forging Glory to fully live up to its "looter shooter" aspects, community involvement is mandatory for its future growth.

The best way to get involved is to join us on our Discord: https://discord.gg/AMTKx9R

We frequently organize campaigns and matches, where players play with the developers, giving plenty of opportunities to provide feedback. We encourage players to discuss how they play, and what they would like to see next in our Discord.

We take all feedback seriously, and blend it with our own vision and capabilities, resulting in what is available today.」
