早期アクセスにした理由

“Narwhal Heist is heavily designed around player feedback. As such, we would love to broaden our audience during the development cycle to implement user feedback as much as possible.”

このゲームは大体どのくらいの期間早期アクセスですか？

“We expect Narwhal Heist to be in early access for approximately two or three months.”

早期アクセスバージョンと計画されているフルバージョンの違いは？

“Currently, the early access version of Narwhal Heist contains the following:

• Five levels
  
• 32 achievements
  
• In-game leaderboards for every level
  
• Five special "challenge mode" variations of each level for more adept players
  
• A simple in-game item shop where the player can spend their earned cash to buy upgrades

As development continues, we would like to improve each of these areas. Ideally, the full release will contain 8 story levels and a currently undecided number of side missions, over 50 achievements, an in-game level editor, an an expanded, in-depth shop system.”

早期アクセスバージョンの現状はどうなっていますか？

“The current early access build of Narwhal Heist is in late beta; it is fully playable but missing a few levels at the end. The experience should be rather smooth and enjoyable, though there are occasional glitches and bugs.”

早期アクセス期間中と期間後ではゲームの価格は変わりますか？

“During the early access period, Narwhal Heist will be available at 50% of its launch price. After launch, we plan to increase the price. We have no plans to increase the price further after this point.”

どうやって開発プロセスにコミュニティを参加させる予定ですか？

“Within our closed beta, we have integrated our players into every aspect of the development process. Levels are heavily iterated upon based on user feedback, with things in mind such as speedrunning, achievement hunting, and replayability; mechanics are adjusted and reworked based on user experience; bugs are fixed according to player reports, and so forth. By opening to early access, we are able to involve a larger community in this feedback process than any small community we could have within a closed beta.”
