เหตุใดจึงเป็นช่วงระหว่างการพัฒนา?

“Sumo is a passion project made by a pair of former big-studio developers with a desire to make something of their own. We set out to make something we would be interested in, which for us usually means games of a smaller scale you enjoy with your friends. Early Access gives us the opportunity to get real player feedback and help scope out what further changes are needed and which direction to focus on for new content. Do you think the game needs more characters? More Arenas? Alternate game modes? Polish specific aspects of the current game? Try it out and let us know!”

เกมนี้จะอยู่ในช่วงระหว่างการพัฒนานานเท่าไรโดยประมาณ?

“6-12 Months. We are not looking to be a long-term Early Access title.”

เวอร์ชันเต็มได้ถูกวางแผนไว้ให้แตกต่างจากเวอร์ชันระหว่างการพัฒนาอย่างไร?

“The full version will differ based on player feedback! We feel our Early Access build presents a complete (though small in scope) game, and we want to expand what we have. Our players will help shape what type of content we deliver based on feedback, whether that be in the form of new characters, new levels, new game modes, or focusing on polishing the existing offerings.”

สถานะปัจจุบันของเวอร์ชันระหว่างการพัฒนาเป็นอย่างไร?

“The game is currently feature and content complete with 8 characters and 4 arenas to play in, each with unique mechanics. The Skirmish game mode (free for all against all players) is the only mode available and can be played with any number of AI-controlled Bot opponents. The number of characters, levels, and game modes is planned to grow over time.”

เกมจะมีราคาเปลี่ยนแปลงไปหรือไม่ในระหว่างและหลังจากช่วงระหว่างการพัฒนา?

“At this time, our plans are not to change the price between Early Access and launch (temporary discounts aside).”

คุณกำลังวางแผนให้ชุมชนมีส่วนร่วมในขั้นตอนการพัฒนาของคุณอย่างไร?

“As we did in our former roles as public designers on a live big-studio game, we plan to listen and respond to community feedback from the Steam forums to help shape the direction of content creation for future updates.
