為何採用搶先體驗模式？

「We need feedback from you to make WizardChess the best game it can possibly be. Mixing procedural generation, randomness and chess together is a delicate blend - and your help balancing and testing has been instrumental to improving the game!

WizardChess is made two people part-time and sometimes it gets a little lonely. If this seems like your sort of game we'd love to hear from you!」

這款遊戲的搶先體驗時間大約會持續多久？

「We are looking ahead to a v1.0 release sometime in the first half of 2023. Although after 3+ years of development already, we want to be sure not to rush anything!

WizardChess will likely continue to evolve indefinitely past our current 1.0 target, and we're not yet sure when we'll call it "done".」

正式版預計會與搶先體驗版有何不同？

「We intend to add additional maps, map generation rules, biomes, enemies, bosses, challenge rooms, units, traits and secrets until the game feels "full". Ideally we want every WizardChess run to play out differently and we'll be working towards that goal based on your feedback.」

搶先體驗版目前的開發進度如何？

「Our milestone for launching into Early Access was to have the overall game loop in place, which we are now very happy with. Currently WizardChess includes a tutorial and a core procedurally generated run, you'll battle through two biomes + bosses to face a final challenge. There are six friendly units to master and over a dozen enemy types to face.

This is a solid base to build from that we believe is fun already, but we can see huge potential in how to grow from here.」

遊戲售價在搶先體驗期間前後會有所變動嗎？

「The game will launch at the lowest price (excluding future discounts / sales) and increase as we feel its value increases towards 1.0.」

在開發過程中，您打算如何與社群互動？

「WizardChess is a complex game and development will only get more nuanced as we proceed. The community will be vital in helping us stay focused on the fun as well as delivering a high quality game.

Sometimes as roguelites grow they suffer from content bloat, frustrating RNG, repetitive runs and bugs; we've seen it before and would like any help we can to avoid these traps.

We welcome bug reports + feedback through the Steam Community, Discord and Twitter. Given the fact both members of the team work full-time jobs we may not always respond immediately but we really do read every message.」
