เหตุใดจึงเป็นช่วงระหว่างการพัฒนา?

“We would like to involve the playerbase in the growth of the game, make decisions regarding to demographics and the suggestions of the playerbase.

Also due to limitations, additional features like dedicated server support will only be added after building a community to observe the location info and the activity of the userbase to best utilize our finances for the allocation of sufficient servers worldwide. This is to ensure that:

- Regions with higher player base has access to servers with the ability to handle the amount of players
- Regions with lower player base do not spend a lot of time in the matchmaking queue
- The overall experience is maximized

Early access will also allow us to watch the balancing of the game by creating scenarios which we cannot always replicate in our studios.”

คุณกำลังวางแผนให้ชุมชนมีส่วนร่วมในขั้นตอนการพัฒนาของคุณอย่างไร?

“This item is the most important for us given more players for us equate to more opinions and these opinions are what will make Marble Combat thrive further. We will be sticking to weekly or bi-weekly updates and watch the integrity and the balancing of the game and ensure that the game on each update gets better and not worse. We need the power of the community to judge what is the best step to take further at any given moment.

We are gathering our community at our discord servers:
