왜 앞서 해보기를 하나요?

“We want to involve the community in shaping the development itself. In today’s digital age, a togetherness of development and community is essential for everybody.”

이 게임의 앞서 해보기 기간은 얼마인가요?

“We hope it's out in under 12 months.”

정식 버전은 앞서 해보기 버전과 어떻게 달라지나요?

“First of all, this early version contains only (though quite many) tutorial and presentation levels. We now work on the full campaign with many maps in different environments with a story about searching maybe the last human-inhabited spaceship, Automatica. While it seems that the game about programming battle robots doesn’t need a captivating story, it does. Why else would you want to gather all data from abandoned spaceships?

We will also work more on graphics, sound effects, and of course music, as well as on Level Editor features. Level Editor is an important part of the game: all current levels are created there, and no external tools are needed. We plan to add many improvements and community functions, even during the Early Access period.

Features that should appear during Early Access:

• Map sharing and ranking
  
• New level editor and programming features
  
• Campaign and story editor
  
• User-defined functions
  
• More ship types and environments

”

지금 앞서 해보기 버전은 어떤 상태인가요?

“Please be aware that this software is in early access as it is unfinished software. That means that there are bound to be bugs, unfinished features, and performance issues. The game is however stable and contains most gameplay features planned for the final game and many missions as well as full-featured level editor to create more.

Finished features:

• Tutorial maps and levels to showcase all features
  
• Full-featured level editor to create community levels

”

앞서 해보기 동안과 앞서 해보기 이후의 게임 가격이 다르게 매겨지나요?

“We plan that the price will stay the same during all Early Access period and will rise once the game is released.”

개발 과정에 어떻게 커뮤니티를 참여시킬 계획이신가요?

“The level editor is an integral part of the game and we expect the community to show us how proper maps should look like! Like, really… Also, while Automatica is not meant to be a programming game, it is a programming game, co we are sure valuable feedback from programmers will come. It will be listened to.”
