為何採用搶先體驗模式？

「At its core, OFFBEAT wants to offer an entry point to music production that's approachable, playful and funny. We have an idea in our minds about what that looks like, but to be the best game it can possibly be and one that people will want to both play and use to create music, we want to build it in concert (ha) with our players. The main creative challenge with this game is balancing complexity with accessibility - we want deep tools that enable expressive production, but we also want anyone to be able to pick the thing up and figure it out as they go without feeling overwhelmed. We're a small team (just 3 people!) and so it's important that we get as much feedback as we can, as early in the development process as possible. Early Access offers us the opportunity for this dialogue.」

這款遊戲的搶先體驗時間大約會持續多久？

「We're aiming for an Early Access period of around 6-8 months.」

正式版預計會與搶先體驗版有何不同？

「We plan to release monthly updates for OFFBEAT throughout its Early Access period which will introduce new instruments and tasks to the game along with other features both based on the EA roadmap (to be released at a later date) as well as community requests. The full game release will include all this content along with features and improvements that won't be present during the EA period.」

搶先體驗版目前的開發進度如何？

「The Early Access release contains 7 musical objects, which you can purchase across two chapters. This represents the first two chapters of the game.」

遊戲售價在搶先體驗期間前後會有所變動嗎？

「Yes, OFFBEAT will be launching into Early Access at a lower price point than the eventual 1.0 release. Specifics will be communicated closer to the time of release.」
