為何採用搶先體驗模式？

「Decks was born out of a hobby project, initially published as a YouTube video on how to create strategy games in Unity. Since then, the game was has a closed series of tests and steady updates. I see the game as an ongoing project, a platform that can grow reflecting the community suggestions.」

這款遊戲的搶先體驗時間大約會持續多久？

「The core game is scheduled to launch in 2024. Since this is a strategy game with card components, it will continue to evolve beyond the initial release date, with regular additions to maps, cards and gameplay modes.」

正式版預計會與搶先體驗版有何不同？

「The planned launch features include:

• A library of diverse cards, allowing players to construct unique decks.
  
• Challenging and replayable solo, group and raid content.
  
• A PvP ladder with meaningful progression.

搶先體驗版目前的開發進度如何？

「The core gameplay loop is functional. The game currently includes a tutorial, 2 expedition maps (1 or 2 players) and a dragon raid (4 players). It also features a PvP mode, currently using one map. There are 22 unique cards implemented.

Given the early stages of development, there are bugs that I am constantly working on fixing. Some of these can be critical and I am grateful for the testers submitting logs and reports, helping me remove 120+ bugs in the past 2 weeks. The balancing is a work in progress, with some units clearly stronger than others.

Overall, the current state is a functional base prototype, which will be improved on - both in terms of polish and new content.」

遊戲售價在搶先體驗期間前後會有所變動嗎？

「Decks will be a Buy-to-Play game with a comfortable in-game progression. The game is expected to have micro-transactions post-launch and in the later stages of Early Access. The initial price of the base game allows us to focus on getting the gameplay and balance right, leaving the micro-transaction store an optional area. As we ship new content, the prices are not expected to increase; instead, players will have more options in the micro-transaction store.」

在開發過程中，您打算如何與社群互動？

「Community is the key pillar of Decks. The current state of the game is a reflection of a closed alpha test - directly taking onboard player feedback. Looking ahead, I hope to involve the community with regular development updates, space for feedback, and community events. You can provide feedback via our e-mail (support@decksgame.com) or in our Discord (accessed through the in-game menu).」
