Varför Early Access?

“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.”

Ungefär hur länge kommer det här spelet att vara i Early Access?

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

Hur är det tänkt att den fullständiga versionen ska skilja sig från versionen i Early Access?

“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.”

Hur är det nuvarande läget i versionen med Early Access?

“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.”

Kommer spelet att prissättas annorlunda under och efter Early Access?

“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.”

Hur planerar ni att involvera gemenskapen i er utvecklingsprocess?

“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.”
