为何要采用抢先体验这种模式？

“Player Feedback: Since our initial release on itch.io, we've received tons of player feedback that's influenced the game, with the addition of 100 new pieces and multiple gameplay mechanics like ascensions and starting squads; we want to continue this collaboration through early access.

Balancing: There are, like, a thousand synergies among the 150 units—early access allows us to fine-tune these complex mechanics with players' direct contributions.

Bug Fixes: With the game's complexity and thousands of possible combinations, early access provides the time necessary to identify and fix problems, ensuring a smooth experience on every player's machine.

New Stuff: Here's the fun bit: we have our ideas for what we want to add to the game—more ascensions, ascension modifiers, new locations, annexing more cities, and so forth—but that's just us. What do you want us to add?”

这款游戏的抢先体验状态大约持续多久？

“We're planning to finish most of the main stuff like extra features, balancing, and visual and sound updates in three months. That's our goal for having the game's foundation solid and ready. But we don't want to stop there. If you all enjoy it, we hope to keep adding and improving things for months, maybe even centuries. So, expect the game to feel complete pretty early, but also know that we're excited to keep building on it with your support.”

计划中的完整版本和抢先体验版本到底有多少不同？

“Expect a more refined and polished gameplay experience. We plan to add a variety of new pieces, mechanics, and game modes based on the feedback you give us during Early Access. For instance:

- 10 ascensions
- Endless mode
- 12 starting squads
- UX improvements
- The Proving Grounds
- A balance/synergies pass
- Achievements & in-game trophies”

抢先体验版本的现状如何？

“The Early Access version of Million Monster Militia is a functional and engaging game that provides players with a solid gameplay experience. However, it is important to note that there might be occasional bugs and balance issues as we continue to refine the game based on community feedback. Please refer to the "About This Game" section for details.

Included in the EA version:
- 150 pieces
- Standard Mode (10 bosses)
- 1 Ascension (10 more bosses)
- 3 Starting Squads”

在抢先体验期间和结束之后，游戏价格会有所不同吗？

“At launch, we're offering the game at half price. At v1.0 launch, we intend to offer the game at full price. There is a formula for this, on the y = mx + b variety, though that suggests that we'll keep increasing the price beyond v1.0 linearly. That would be weird, so we won't do that.”

在开发过程中，你们是如何计划让玩家社区参与进来的？

“We have a Discord and a dedicated Community Manager (say hello, Connor!) who will talk to you in the Steam forums and probably in your dreams. There's all the usual stuff that devs do, right? News posts, update text, and so forth. We also want to try recording some of our dev sessions and see if folks are interested in those. Do you want to hear a pair of developers talk about the height of pixels for 60 minutes?”
