为何要采用抢先体验这种模式？

“Alaris is releasing in Early Access to give players the chance to experience what the game currently has to offer, which includes 4 routes, spanning around 30-40 hours of playtime. The current content will give players a chance to enter the world of Alaris, get to know the plot and characters on a deeper level, and provide feedback before the game enters Full Release.”

这款游戏的抢先体验状态大约持续多久？

“Alaris is currently planned to be in EA for roughly six months, with small patch updates along the way to include expanded content/assets.”

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 of Alaris is planned to include all 6 routes, with the final 2 routes being added at Full Release. These routes would cover the "Fae" routes of the game, which would include 10-20 more hours of playtime, more art assets (e.g., CGs, side character sprites, etc.), and voiced lines. The final 2 routes would aim to bring the game's full plot to a close.

Along the way, in smaller patches, we plan to update the game with additional content, such as more voiced lines, refined prose, and more. ”

在抢先体验期间和结束之后，游戏价格会有所不同吗？

“When Alaris enters Full Release, the price will be increased to reflect the game's additional content.”

在开发过程中，你们是如何计划让玩家社区参与进来的？

“Early Access will give players the chance to provide feedback on the game before it enters Full Release.

Alaris has been in Beta Access prior to entering Early Access, and during that time, we implemented beta testers' feedback, from route edits, accessibility features, and more! We welcome feedback via various social media channels (e.g., Discord, Twitter, Tumblr, etc.) so that we can make community feedback part of our development process.

Your feedback is invaluable to us, so don't hesitate to share your thoughts along the way!”
