為何採用搶先體驗模式？

「Early access gives us the opportunity to continue making improvements to Lifeblood while allowing new players to experience the game and provide feedback for updates. There are many avenues we'd like to explore in Lifeblood such as new classes and alternate game modes, thus any feedback we've received based on our changes is incredibly insightful towards the many upcoming features that we're excited to introduce.」

這款遊戲的搶先體驗時間大約會持續多久？

「Lifeblood will remain in early access until we feel that the game has been fully fleshed out; however, we estimate approximately 8 months to a year. This gives us ample time to provide substance to each of the game modes and their accompanying network services technology. We should be in a good place to progress beyond early access once we feel comfortable with the landscape of game features, visual aesthetic, and a meaningful balance of Lifeblood's atmosphere and elements. However, we will always be expanding on the foundation of the game with added content for players to explore. Regarding cross-platform play with the addition of consoles and other devices, it will take time to complete our initial version of the game. In any case, we are committed to maintaining or surpassing our development speed with the benefits of early access resources.」

正式版預計會與搶先體驗版有何不同？

「The full version of the game will see the BR mode in a completed state as well as a new mode called conquest mode. We also plan to implement 15 different classes for the BR mode, ranked play, steam leaderboards and achievements, persistent levels in the BR mode that exist outside of the individual rounds.」

搶先體驗版目前的開發進度如何？

「Currently only the BR game mode is playable with the two classes Berserker and Spellslinger. Skins are available for Berserker and Spellslinger. Our character creator is fully implemented for Female characters.」

遊戲售價在搶先體驗期間前後會有所變動嗎？

「Once you've purchased the game any additional content will come free of charge; however, that is not to say the price will not change when we leave early access, or if the price will be raised as we ship new content and features. We'll most likely price Lifeblood based on what we think the value of the game is after Early Access.」

在開發過程中，您打算如何與社群互動？

「In early access, feedback is essential for improving the game based on the results we receive from our player experience. We've fostered a community since the start of development by means of using Discord and Twitch to provide updates and information to interested players. Through that we were able to find game testers who graciously provided their feedback and dedicated time to helping us resolve bug issues and improve certain aspects of the game. Our hope for early access is to recognize the value of the community in our decisions being made about Lifeblood as well as having the resources at hand to deliver a game that everyone feels they were a part of.」
