เหตุใดจึงเป็นช่วงระหว่างการพัฒนา?

“Following all the feedback we received during the demo, we decided to go for Early Access before the 1.0 release. This will allow us to gather more feedback as we continue to work on the game and push its development to the point where we consider it to be final. We believe that involving our players in the development process is essential to making the best game possible. Early Access allows us to expand and improve the game based on your invaluable feedback. We are committed to working with the community to make the game something truly special. Your input will help us refine the game's intricate mechanics to ensure a fun and engaging experience. By joining us in Early Access, you will be able to directly influence the development of Ale Abbey and help us unlock its full potential.”

เกมนี้จะอยู่ในช่วงระหว่างการพัฒนานานเท่าไรโดยประมาณ?

“We expect Ale Abbey to remain in Early Access between 4 to 10 months. The exact length will depend on the feedback we receive from our players and how our ideas for Ale Abbey progress. Our goal is to ensure that the game reaches a high standard of quality and depth of content before its full release. We are committed to taking the time necessary to make Ale Abbey the best it can be.”

เวอร์ชันเต็มได้ถูกวางแผนไว้ให้แตกต่างจากเวอร์ชันระหว่างการพัฒนาอย่างไร?

“While the core mechanics and structure of Ale Abbey are already in place, we plan to improve the overall experience by adding more content and features, polishing, balancing and bug fixing. For the full version, our goal is to increase the depth and complexity of the game's content to create a richer and more compelling game when it launches, with new additions such as:
- More variety in content to expand on the fantasy of a brewing brotherhood/sisterhood (New room types, more Markets to access and more Styles to brew)
- More side content to flesh out the game and the monastery charm ( More variety of player actions, more varying monks and nuns behaviours, more Fermentines management tools…)
- Improve the base mechanics via community feedback and data collection to fine tune the experience.
These planned additions and their progress will be shared to the community through the various roadmaps we will publish over time.”

สถานะปัจจุบันของเวอร์ชันระหว่างการพัฒนาเป็นอย่างไร?

“The Early Access version of Ale Abbey includes the core gameplay mechanics and features described in the "About This Game" section of the store page. The game upon early access release will grant access to 5 different markets and 11 beer styles to brew. During the early access period, in addition to more content integration, more gameplay variety, we will gradually open up more markets (up to 13) and more styles to brew (up to 25+). While the game will be in early access we will keep on improving on its stability and keep it as much bug free as possible.”

เกมจะมีราคาเปลี่ยนแปลงไปหรือไม่ในระหว่างและหลังจากช่วงระหว่างการพัฒนา?

“We plan to gradually increase the price upon the 1.0 release, depending on the additional content and features that are added. This potential adjustment would reflect the expanded scope and improved quality of the game as we continue to develop Ale Abbey with your feedback.”

คุณกำลังวางแผนให้ชุมชนมีส่วนร่วมในขั้นตอนการพัฒนาของคุณอย่างไร?

As you’ve seen us doing during the demo, we value all suggestions, bug reports and community feedback as we work together to make a better game! You are welcome to share your ideas, and upcoming changes will be discussed with the community for early feedback. We will also be conducting surveys and organising events to gather input and ensure that Ale Abbey evolves in a way that reflects the community's feedback.”
