为何要采用抢先体验这种模式？

“DODGE(Y)BALL already has its core 1v1 gameplay in place, but there's more to be done.
Early Access gives me the chance to put the game in front of real players while I continue building out its movement, mechanics, maps, balance and general polish.
A game like this is affected by how people actually play it. I want feedback from more people to help shape what gets expanded, changed or reworked on the way to full release.”

这款游戏的抢先体验状态大约持续多久？

“I currently expect DODGE(Y)BALL to remain in Early Access for roughly 6 to 12 months.
That may change depending on player feedback and how development progresses. I would rather leave Early Access when the game genuinely feels ready for full release rather than commit to a date too early and end up rushing features or content.”

计划中的完整版本和抢先体验版本到底有多少不同？

“I plan to expand DODGE(Y)BALL considerably during Early Access.
This includes quite a few more arenas, more ball types, further development of the movement system, additional gameplay mechanics, balance changes, polish and more depth around the existing 1v1 experience. I would also like to expand into 4 player lobbies featuring a Free for all mode.

Some ideas may change as players get their hands on the game. If something turns out to be more fun than expected, I want the freedom to explore it. If something does not work, I want to be able to change it.
The goal for the full version is a much deeper and more refined version of the game while keeping the simple idea at its centre: hit the other player with a ball more than they do it to you, some moments will be silly, some moments will be really cool :).”

抢先体验版本的现状如何？

“The core online 1v1 game is fully playable.

Players can host or join matches through Steam and fight across the currently available arenas using charged throws, movement momentum, dashing, catching, blocking and active parries.
The game is centred around continuous scoring rather than resetting after every point. Headshots, MultiBall and other interactions can quickly turn a straightforward exchange into something chaotic and hectic.

The Early Access release will include character customisation, MORE BALLS, MORE MAPS, further controller support, configurable settings, and lobby options.
Early Access is focused on expanding what is already here rather than proving whether the basic game works.”

在抢先体验期间和结束之后，游戏价格会有所不同吗？

“Probably, yeah. The Early Access price will reflect the amount of content available at the time.

I currently expect the price may increase as the game grows and eventually reaches 1.0, but the final price has not been decided yet. Any changes will be communicated in advance and will actually be reasonable.”

在开发过程中，你们是如何计划让玩家社区参与进来的？

“Player feedback will be an important part of Early Access.

I want to hear what players think about movement, balance, mechanics, maps and anything else that becomes obvious once people start finding strategies and interactions I never expected. Feedback through the Steam Community will help influence what gets adjusted and what areas of the game deserve the most attention.

I also plan to use updates and Steam announcements to explain what is changing and why as development continues.”
