为何要采用抢先体验这种模式？

“While I have made other games in the past, this is my first racing game, and it is also special in what it represents. (It attempts to bring the "90s feeling" to current time, while also staying true to its 90s origin.)

I therefore decided to put the game into Early Access to bring the game as close as possible for me to what players expect from this specific type of retro game and how it feels.

Feedback is also planned to be incorporated in the design of future content of the game.”

这款游戏的抢先体验状态大约持续多久？

“At least 6 months, due to the amount of content I want to add to the game.

The minimum amount of tracks I plan to have in the game before it leaves Early Access is 40, and I gladly will add even more to it than that, if there are features that make additional content worthwhile.”

计划中的完整版本和抢先体验版本到底有多少不同？

“I am planning for the full game to have much more content and implement the quality of life options/tools requested by players during Early Access.

There are also more features planned for its content than it had when it entered Early Access.”

抢先体验版本的现状如何？

“The game currently is fully playable, and is not just a "concept".

It currently doesnt have all the content planned for when it leaves Early Access yet, and not the full choice of vehicles. (When the game enters Early Access, it will have 15 unique tracks already, not counting alternative versions of those tracks)

The tracks etc. are created with keyboard as input method, therefore a gamepad is not required to play, but xbox Gamepad (or any input device UE5 recognizes) works to control the vehicles and can be used for keybinding too.

The menu (for now) needs a Mouse to click buttons, but I want to resolve this before the game leaves Early Access.

The game is built on a foundation I made for my other games, therefore runs on "known to be working" logic.

Of course, there are some minor missing things, or placeholders (e.g. I have not yet found a good sound for something specific, or not made one yet.).

It is also inevitable that players will find a few bugs I am not yet aware of, despite having played the game for dozens of hours already, and done a lot of testing at low and high framerates etc.

Everything in the game is modular, including tracks and vehicles, therefore everything can be adjusted to feedback easily.”

在抢先体验期间和结束之后，游戏价格会有所不同吗？

“Yes, but it will be a fair price given the amount of content in the game.

There currently is no plan to change price during Early Access, and any price change coinciding with release will be announced in advance.”

在开发过程中，你们是如何计划让玩家社区参与进来的？

“Just drop your thoughts in the forum, use the communityhub for screenshots and videos, and I will see what can be done to implement that feedback or find a compromise between opposing needs of different players.

Discuss with others, share thoughts, thats the best way for players to have an impact on the game.”
