เหตุใดจึงเป็นช่วงระหว่างการพัฒนา?

“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.”

เกมนี้จะอยู่ในช่วงระหว่างการพัฒนานานเท่าไรโดยประมาณ?

“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!”

เวอร์ชันเต็มได้ถูกวางแผนไว้ให้แตกต่างจากเวอร์ชันระหว่างการพัฒนาอย่างไร?

“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.”

สถานะปัจจุบันของเวอร์ชันระหว่างการพัฒนาเป็นอย่างไร?

“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.”

เกมจะมีราคาเปลี่ยนแปลงไปหรือไม่ในระหว่างและหลังจากช่วงระหว่างการพัฒนา?

“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.”

คุณกำลังวางแผนให้ชุมชนมีส่วนร่วมในขั้นตอนการพัฒนาของคุณอย่างไร?

“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!”
