为何要采用抢先体验这种模式？

“NaÀra: Tales of Resistance is a game that, within its narrative, tells the history of Brazil, going through different periods and real events with our protagonist interacting with the historical characters of each era.

For this cultural, historical and educational side of our project, we intend to partner with public and private schools to distribute game licenses for use with students as a complementary teaching material.

Our desire is to be able to start doing this even before the final release, so we see Early Access as a great model to be able to present the world of NaÀra as soon as possible to young players who will be able to benefit from our historical and cultural themes.

In addition, we strongly believe in the potential that player feedback has to raise the quality of our game. We want to gradually create a community that can have access to what we are developing in a more direct way and can have a voice to bring in mechanics and narrative suggestions, which we believe can add enormously to what NaÀra will be in its final version.

We intend to constantly and gradually add content and improvements to the Early Access version, always attentive to community feedback, which will help guide our development.”

这款游戏的抢先体验状态大约持续多久？

“Our current planning is for the game to be in Early Access for approximately one year, with the full version of the game expected to be released around the first quarter of 2023. However, we know how complex the development of a game like NaÀra is and that unforeseen events can happen, so we don't want to guarantee deadlines here, but we will do our best so that in early 2023, everyone can enjoy the full adventure of our heroine!”

计划中的完整版本和抢先体验版本到底有多少不同？

“The Early Access version of Naàra don't have all the levels, mechanics, characters and narrative progression implemented. We plan to add content to our Early Access version gradually, so the player can enjoy NaÀra's story in advance as it also get to know some of the mechanics of the game.

Some bugs and less polished areas are also expected to be present in the Early Access version.”

抢先体验版本的现状如何？

“The version we are initially releasing in Early Access contains:

- Approximately 1 hour to 1.5 hours of gameplay.
- The beginning of NaÀra's story, set in the year 1500, in which she begins to find out about her mother's past and from there begins her adventure.
- 4 cutscenes telling this story.
- Key mechanics of character movement, including the first version of our climbing system.
- The first arrow that the player will control, the Ether Arrow, and some puzzles to be performed using it.

This initial release contains some minor polishing and finishing issues that will be fixed in the first updates. There aren't very severe bugs that we've discovered so far, but it's a development version that may have bugs not yet discovered by us in our playstests.”

在抢先体验期间和结束之后，游戏价格会有所不同吗？

“Yes, the price will be increased three times during development. We understand the disparity of playing an incomplete game, so our intention is to set the price at four tiers as more and more content is added.

- The game will be available for Early Access launch at a special launch price.
- We will have a price increase when we complete the addition of approximately 2 more levels and we have satisfactorily polished all the main game mechanics that will be implemented until then.
- A second time when we complete adding all planned content to the Early Access, totalling approximately 4 levels and all the mechanics that were implemented so far with a satisfactory polishing.
- And the final raise will happen when the game comes out of Early Access and we release v1.0, which will be the first version of the full game.

Any price changes will be clearly communicated before they are made.”

在开发过程中，你们是如何计划让玩家社区参与进来的？

“We expect the community to be a key part of all aspects of development, from gameplay to story and technical stability. We want to put new mechanics and our narrative progression in the players hands as soon as possible to understand what works and what doesn't, because NaÀra is a game that mixes elements of Cinematic Platformers with more classic Platformers, giving us space to explore new and interesting ideas, alongside our community.

We will gradually create spaces for these exchanges and feedback as we share a more accurate development roadmap so the community can know what's coming!

So we want our community to be able to give us ideas, help hunt bugs and effectively be an active part of our development, so that we can together make NaÀra the best game it can be!”
