Dlaczego wczesny dostęp?

„We want to provide much more Loch Ness content and an Early Access release will help us, as a small team of recently graduated students, sustain development for longer and create better content.

We also want to involve players and the community in our next steps to create the best game for them we can.”

Czym różni się zaplanowana pełna wersja od tej z wczesnego dostępu?

„We intend for the full version to be generally more polished and more replayable, including additional content like:

• At least 2 new Nessie types to contend with, based on alternative explanations of sightings (e.g. a giant eel)
  
• Completely new AI behaviours and abilities for these new Nessie types
  
• At least 2 new tools corresponding to the new Nessie variations
  
• Unlockable difficulty modes to keep day one players engaged

We also strongly welcome any feedback on our social media and community channels and hope to implement many community ideas.”

Jak zamierzacie włączyć społeczność w wasz proces tworzenia?

„We vehemently welcome any players to join our community on Discord and our other social media channels to give us direct feedback, but we will also be very receptive to feedback in reviews.

Loch Ness is very much a game by and for the community, with even the base Early Access version being shaped directly by player feedback. We hope to make the full game something the community is completely satisfied with and absolutely welcome any suggestions.”
