为何要采用抢先体验这种模式？

“The game is 60% complete and playable. Player feedback would be greatly appreciated. I welcome constructive criticism. The story is already fully planned and set in stone but there is a lot of space for fine tuning and improvement.”

这款游戏的抢先体验状态大约持续多久？

“I release on a "when it's ready" basis and would have a hard time giving an accurate estimation. The development started in the second half of 2019 and with about 300,000 words of content, the game is now 60 % complete. Most of the content is definitive. The game will spend a few years in early access as the amount of content that has yet to be implemented is massive. I don't expect it to be finished before 2027/2028.”

计划中的完整版本和抢先体验版本到底有多少不同？

“As of May 2024, the story has reached the evening of Day 6. The whole story is already planned and the final version should go up to the morning of Day 9. The game already includes 15 different paths out of the 18 routes planned and I intend to give each path its own unique ending.
You can reasonably expect the final version to be twice as big, content-wise. Improvements in the UI department and several additional features are also planned.”

抢先体验版本的现状如何？

“As of May 2024, the game contains about 300,000 words of content (for the sake of comparison, that's as many words as a volume of ASOIAF) and 6000 images. 15 paths (out of the 18 planned) are available. Two paths have reached their conclusions. Some parts of the early days have to be reworked in order to bring the overall quality up, but most of the content is definitive.”

在抢先体验期间和结束之后，游戏价格会有所不同吗？

“At release, the full game will be sold at a higher price tag.”

在开发过程中，你们是如何计划让玩家社区参与进来的？

“The Naughty Captain's Discord channel is open to all and is the best place to engage with the community, discuss the game, and get some hints about the coming content. I publish a weekly "Dev Update" in which I talk about the development of the game, the progress, and eventual difficulties. Transparency is the basis of trust. I think it's important.”
