為何採用搶先體驗模式？

「We're releasing Soul’s Remnant in Early Access because we want players to be able to experience the vast world we’ve built, while helping us refine and shape it in the best way for the future of the game, as community feedback is critical to us in developing Soul’s Remnant!

Souls Remnant draws on the feeling of classic 2D MMOs like MapleStory, where you grind, socialize, party up, trade, carve out your own build, and participate in a vast player-driven economy. We want players who loved those games to help us recapture that magic while we polish and expand the game’s world over time.」

這款遊戲的搶先體驗時間大約會持續多久？

「We estimate staying in Early Access for 6 to 12 months, depending on community feedback and how quickly we can refine and improve the content in the game. We want to take our time with development and get it right, rather than rush it.」

正式版預計會與搶先體驗版有何不同？

「For the full version we plan to include:
- More end-game content: additional bosses with unique mechanics, more areas for high-level players, and more general end-game content.
- Further refined and balanced gameplay for all skill tree paths in the game, as well as further refining and developing melee, ranged, magic, and faith skills.
- Full controller and Steam Deck support (controller support is already in the game, and constantly being worked on and improved with community feedback)
- Deeper crafting, gathering, and life-skill progression
- Quality-of-life improvements: UI polish, clearer feedback, smoother and more intuitive tutorials, and more quality of life in general.
- More cosmetics and equipment items to customize your character with
- Large updates, potentially including things such as player housing, seasonal gameplay, and entirely new areas to explore
- Ongoing economy, drop-rate, and balance tuning based on live data

Our goal is to add more content to the game, and to continue to refine and polish the game overall, working closely with our community to build the best version of Soul’s Remnant possible!」

遊戲售價在搶先體驗期間前後會有所變動嗎？

「We do not plan to change the pricing of the game during or after Early Access. The game will remain free-to-play, supported by optional cosmetic and convenience purchases through our cash shop that fund ongoing development. These are optional and not required to play or progress, though we greatly appreciate our supporters.」

在開發過程中，您打算如何與社群互動？

Community feedback is critically important for us, and frequently helps us in deciding the best way to shape and grow Soul’s Remnant. As such, we plan to continue working with our community to build the best version of Soul’s Remnant possible!」
