为何要采用抢先体验这种模式？

“When we think of The Dwarves of Glistenveld, we imagine a vibrant world with not only our content, but with many user-created maps, scenarios and modded content.

In order to realise this vision, we need players on-board while the game develops, giving us feedback and inspiration. With the support of a community, we will be able to build the tech necessary to suit our players’ needs as we create TDoG together.

The Nysko team is a small clan working in their spare time and on their days off. We dream of the day we can give our team full-time employment so that we can build all the features and content we have in the pipeline, as well as requested content from our community. We listen to all our feedback, though not all requested features will make it in the game, we are inspired by your creativity as much as our own!”

这款游戏的抢先体验状态大约持续多久？

“The game will be released in four 'Chapters', each of which introduces new features, new content and expansions on existing content. We cannot reasonably estimate the length of time each chapter will take, but we will keep you updated on our progress through our blog posts and patch notes. Note: These chapters will be free updates for those who have already bought the game.”

在抢先体验期间和结束之后，游戏价格会有所不同吗？

“Yes. We plan to fairly raise the price of the game for each new chapter, as it will be packed full of fresh new content and features.

Those who have already bought the game however will get the new chapters for free! We believe people should only have to pay once to receive the complete game.”

在开发过程中，你们是如何计划让玩家社区参与进来的？

“There’s a convenient in-game feedback form: Simply press F8 to send us feedback at any point in the game, which also sends us a handy screenshot for context! We love receiving feedback as it helps provide us with snippets into our players' experiences.

We also release blogs, giving progress updates, interesting reads about back office processes, challenges we face, team dynamics and to see how far we’ve come as a young indie games company.

We check the steam discussions semi-regularly, and will answer your questions, respond to feedback and take inspiration from any suggestions you have! There have already been many features introduced purely thanks to player feedback!

Our website is the prime hub where you can find all the updates and information about our latest title. We also house all our latest content there, from pictures to event updates and videos. Have a look around and get to know us!”
