早期アクセスにした理由

“Sky Trader has been a true labor of love... an odyssey of sorts, with it's development spanning nearly a decade. It has gone through numerous iterations, finally to end up as it is today. Doubtlessly there will be further, less dramatic, changes. I would like to embrace the community's ideas and feedback as we get closer to the finish line.”

このゲームは大体どのくらいの期間早期アクセスですか？

“Given the current state of development and the planned feature set, I expect Sky Trader to be in active development for one or two years before we can say it's ready for final release. I really want to get it into your hands long before that, however, which is why Early Access is so important!”

早期アクセスバージョンと計画されているフルバージョンの違いは？

“The full version will be more expansive both in terms of content and features.

Features Planned:

• Full crew management
  
• Improved trading and economy
  
• Management of NPC-flown airships
  
• Combat and evasion
  
• A chart-based navigation system

The content will be largely focused around adding more areas to explore and playable airships to purchase. Also, substantially more airship parts and systems are planned.”

早期アクセスバージョンの現状はどうなっていますか？

“The game is fully playable with access to the first map areas.

There are plenty of bugs for you to discover as well. The game is a physical simulation, and as such don't be surprised to see some crazy random behavior that I haven't quite sorted out.”

早期アクセス期間中と期間後ではゲームの価格は変わりますか？

“Beyond the release discount and any other sales, we will be offering Sky Trader at the same price during and after Early Access. I would like to offer DLC at some point later on, but not during Early Access.”

どうやって開発プロセスにコミュニティを参加させる予定ですか？

“Community involvement is very important, and I take your suggestions and comments seriously! This game has been through a lot over the last decade, and I sincerely look forward to having you all with me as it crosses the finish line!”
