为何要采用抢先体验这种模式？

“Sylphine is a passion project of mine, I'm a solo developer and have a love for story based games and Visual Novels, but despite my knowledge of these games, I am all but a godlike developer with the expertise to perfectly develop these types of games. As I'm learning, Early Access will allow me to take my basis of knowledge and develop it, with a community feedback loop that I can use to not only widen my knowledge, but to create a better game as development progresses.

Additionally, the core drive of the game is community feedback, seeing what players like and dislike as far as story and gameplay mechanics go, and using that in future updates. Releasing the game in Early Access is the best way to allow players to join in on the design process, and experience the game and story as it grows and develops.”

这款游戏的抢先体验状态大约持续多久？

“There is no definite date where I plan to flip Sylphine from "Early Access" to "Release". The story will unfold with an undetermined amount of content between the beginning and end, and depending on player feedback, this content may be increased/decreased. This makes it hard to pinpoint an exact date, but the plan for the minimum/maximum time in Early Access is mid 2022 to the end of 2022(Approximately a year and 2 months to 1 year and 7 months). This is estimated by judging how many events will be in game with a leeway for adding/removing events, and multiplying that by how long it takes to develop a new event on average.”

计划中的完整版本和抢先体验版本到底有多少不同？

“The full version will differ from the Early Access version almost solely in amount of available story content to play through. All the base game mechanics are in place, things such as relationship progression, character schedules, and combat. As such, future updates will be mainly centered around adding in new playable content, not drastically changing or adding any new mechanics to the game.

Throughout early access I plan to take player feedback and incorporate that into those updates, with the full version being a metaphorical smorgasbord of content, both sexual and non sexual.”

抢先体验版本的现状如何？

“The current state of the game is what I coin Version .024. Very early on in the overall development, though there is still a large chunk (multiple hours) of content to enjoy.

There, at launch of the game, are 15 "main" story events in the game, events that directly progress the story of the game. Additionally, many girls in the game have multiple events in place that progress their personal story and grow your relationship with the specific girl.”

在抢先体验期间和结束之后，游戏价格会有所不同吗？

“The game will have an increase in price once the final update is done. But for the entirety of Early Access the price will not change.”

在开发过程中，你们是如何计划让玩家社区参与进来的？

“The community is the center of the development of Sylphine. I regularly communicate and collect feedback from players to strategize with how to move forward in development.”
