為何採用搶先體驗模式？

「This is a single-developer idle game where balance and content depth only get better with real player feedback. Early Access lets me work directly with the community to tune the progression curves, catch exploits in the upgrade chains, and prioritize which new prestige layers, events, and upgrades to build next. Idle games live or die by their long-term pacing, and the best way to get that right is to ship, listen, and iterate alongside the players who actually love the genre.」

這款遊戲的搶先體驗時間大約會持續多久？

「I'm planning for roughly 6 to 12 months in Early Access, depending on community feedback and how much new content gets added along the way. The goal is to leave Early Access once the progression curve feels great from the first pinecone to the late-game ascension layers, and once the planned content roadmap is fully in place. If the game needs more time to get right, I'd rather take it than rush a 1.0 release.」

正式版預計會與搶先體驗版有何不同？

「We plan for the full version to expand on what's available in Early Access. Our goals include adding more content across all stages of the game, deepening the late-game progression, and introducing additional systems and features that build on the core loop. We also plan to include standard Steam features such as achievements and cloud saves, along with quality-of-life improvements shaped by player feedback. Beyond that, we'd like to continue polishing the visuals, audio, and overall balance so the experience feels rewarding from start to finish. The overall scope we're aiming for is a deeper, more replayable idle game guided by the community throughout Early Access.」

搶先體驗版目前的開發進度如何？

「The Early Access version is fully playable from start to finish, with the complete core loop in place. Players can collect pinecones, feed the campfire, earn embers, and progress through multiple phases of upgrades across collection, production, fire, and automation systems. Prestige and ascension layers are implemented, allowing for long-term progression and replayability, along with random events, achievements, and a full settings menu with audio, visual, and quality-of-life options. The 3D campfire scene, ambient audio, and day/night cycle are all in place. The game is stable and content-complete for its current scope, though as an idle game with many interacting upgrade chains and multipliers, some parts of the progression curve may feel unbalanced — too fast in places, too slow in others. Tuning that balance is one of the main goals of Early Access, and player feedback will play a big role in shaping it. We also plan to keep expanding the game with new content during this period.」

遊戲售價在搶先體驗期間前後會有所變動嗎？

「The price will never change, though DLC's are a possibility」

在開發過程中，您打算如何與社群互動？

「Community feedback will be a core part of shaping this game during Early Access. The best place to get involved is our Discord server, where players can share suggestions, report bugs, discuss balance, and talk directly with the developer about what to add or tune next. We also plan to read and respond to the Steam forums, gather feedback on upgrades and quality-of-life features, and use that input to guide what gets prioritized in future updates. Players will have a direct voice in how the progression curve feels, which new systems get built, and how the game evolves over time. We want to treat the community as partners in making the game the best version of itself by the time it leaves Early Access.」
