為何採用搶先體驗模式？

「New Arc Line is a complex RPG and given its scope and interconnectedness of the mechanics included, we want to use the Early Access period to involve the community and receive player feedback that will help us shape the upcoming stages of development, and help us make the very best game we can.」

這款遊戲的搶先體驗時間大約會持續多久？

「We are planning to have New Arc Line completed and ready for full launch in late 2025. But since we want the game to be a memorable and smooth RPG experience when it leaves Early Access, there is a possibility that we will need to prolong the Early Access period and postpone the full version release beyond that time frame.」

正式版預計會與搶先體驗版有何不同？

「We plan to significantly expand the content of the game, including new areas, quests, equipment, companions and playable classes and races, as well as mechanics (such as the sub-class system) and new abilities and spells. Perhaps most importantly, the Early Access version does not include the full story. We are also planning to add more textual localizations to the game at full launch, including French, German, Spanish, Ukrainian, Simplified Chinese and Russian. Of course, due to the nature of Early Access, our plans can change based on community feedback.」

搶先體驗版目前的開發進度如何？

「The Early Access version includes two playable races (human and elf), two classes (Voodoo Shaman and Dieselpunk Engineer), and the first approximately 25% of the main storyline; including various side quests and areas, we estimate it to be roughly a third of the planned full release and should take up to around 10 hours to complete, depending on the playstyle, the amount of exploration done, etc.」

遊戲售價在搶先體驗期間前後會有所變動嗎？

「Yes, we are planning to increase the price during Early Access. We will inform everyone about any pricing changes in advance, so that they are able to plan ahead. We will be using the Steam news and Discussion forums as well as various social media channels for any price-related announcements.」

在開發過程中，您打算如何與社群互動？

「We have been using our Discord server and Steam Discussion forums to gather player feedback from those playing the demo, and will continue using these channels throughout Early Access of New Arc Line. We hope everyone who gives our game a chance during this period will share their impressions, be they positive or negative. And we encourage everyone to especially post any suggestions to improve the game’s mechanics and report any bugs they might encounter while playing. Last but not least, we will be carefully reading through all the Steam reviews and analyzing the feedback from them as well.」
