Rob Simpson: The new Galaxy Map Editor won't be available initially in beta, but what can people expect when they finally get their hands on it and when would you guys like that to be?
Chris Sigaty: So the editor is something that we're talking a lot about. We would like to potentially release it in what we're calling our major content patch update that's planned for pretty late in the beta to be honest with you. The question really is, will it be far enough along and in a spot where we can allow people to look at it and publish and will we have enough time to react to that? So it's something we're looking at closely. We've discussed it, but I can't say that it will or will not happen at this point, I don't know. It's a goal, but on the periphery of whether it will happen or not, that's probably my best answer to that. What we hope to get from having the editor out there early is get some people started on some cool ideas for maps so that when the game launches they can have some cool stuff up very quickly on the service basically, so that other players can download it and have some other options out there. We feel like we're going to hit a lot of the cases that players would have not only with just their multiplayer maps but we will have some cool mod maps that we're going to do on our own, but they're largely just glimpses at things rather than entire answers. The earlier we can get the community started, the better, it's just the time window is shorter than we have talked about.
You haven't asked this question yet, but I'll answer it ahead of time. We were targeting three to five months for the beta, we're really at a three month period of time for the beta at this point. We are still targeting the first half of this year, so with that in mind, it really shortens the window of time with our major content patch coming out pretty close to the end whether it's even worth it putting out the map editor at that point.
罗伯特·辛普森:新的银河地图编辑器在Beta前期并不会放出,那么等大家入手它的时候,会开放哪些部分的功能呢,你们又计划在何时放出它呢?
克里斯·希伽提:编辑器是我们一直都在讨论的问题。说实话我们基本上打算在beta相当后期的一个大更新里放出它。其中真正的问题在于,beta是否真的有那么足够的时间,让我们可以在某个时间点上允许大家上手编辑和发布地图,我们又是否有足够的时间接受他们的反馈?这是我们现在在关注的问题。我们之前也讨论过这个问题,但现在还无法打包票说会或是不会。计划如此,但会不会发生还无法确知,这恐怕是目前我能做出的最好回答。我们提早放出编辑器的目的是希望一部分玩家能提前上手,弄出一些很酷的地图点子来。这样等游戏正式发布,他们的地图就能快速步上正轨,这样其他玩家就能更早地下载到自定义地图,还能有一定程度的选择面。我们估计玩家群体中很多不会仅仅满足于他们的多人对战图,我们也打算自己搞一些MOD图,但肯定无法涵盖所有的需求。因此我们越早发动起地图制作群体就越好。只是可分配的时间上可能比之前考虑的来的赶。
有一个问题你还没问,不过我提前回答你好了。我们原本计划中的Beta持续时间是三到五个月,但现在可能会缩短到三个月。毕竟我们目前仍计划在上半年发布这个游戏,因此大家要知道,就算我们在Beta末期通过一个大更新发布了编辑器,可供测试的时间也因此而缩短了。 |
