为何要采用抢先体验这种模式？

“World Climate Lab has a solid, working foundation, but a planetary climate sandbox can grow in many directions, and the people who use it for their own worlds should shape the directions it takes. Releasing in Early Access lets the worldbuilding and simulation community directly influence which new planetary features, climate models, classification tools, and editor capabilities get built. Their feedback won't just find bugs; it will decide what the simulator becomes.”

这款游戏的抢先体验状态大约持续多久？

“We plan for an Early Access period of roughly six months, though this may be adjusted as we respond to community feedback and the scope of features players request.”

计划中的完整版本和抢先体验版本到底有多少不同？

“We plan to use the Early Access period primarily to refine and polish the simulator based on player feedback. This includes improving usability, smoothing rough edges in the interface and editor, fixing issues that emerge through varied use, and tuning the simulation and rendering for a wider range of hardware. Where the community identifies valuable additions, we would like to incorporate them, but our central goal is a more polished, stable, and refined experience rather than a fundamentally different one.”

抢先体验版本的现状如何？

“The Early Access version is fully playable and stable. You can build worlds or import your own terrain, run real-time physics-based climate simulations, terraform real planetary bodies, and explore climates across a wide range of rotation regimes, atmospheres, planet sizes, and star systems including binaries. The core simulation, topography editor, and planet rendering are all functional. Early Access will focus on expanding the breadth and depth of what can be simulated and created and to see if worldbuilder want to try our more experimental simulation layers that are not yet fully stable but that some might appreciate, guided by community feedback.”

在抢先体验期间和结束之后，游戏价格会有所不同吗？

“No. We plan to keep the price the same during and after Early Access.”

在开发过程中，你们是如何计划让玩家社区参与进来的？

“We plan to gather feedback through the Steam Community forums, and direct player suggestions, and to use that input to prioritise which worlds, features, and tools we develop next. The worldbuilding and simulation communities have deep, specific knowledge, and we want that expertise to shape the simulator's direction.”
