Hvor lenge antas det at dette spillet vil være i tidlig tilgang?

«Lotus Mountain Creative aims to take Narcalid out of Early Access and into full release after 6 months of feedback, development, and refinement.»

Hvordan er det planlagt at fullversjonen skal være forskjellig fra versjonen i tidlig tilgang?

«The Early Access version is expected to be a 7 hr experience, more or less when in multiplayer. The full version aims to be 20 hours in length.

The full game aims to have 6 major biomes to explore, each with a unique boss and mini-boss experience (heal the boss or pass its challenge!). The Early Access version will have a reduced number of biomes to explore, as we focus on the polish and experience on the early portion of the game. We expect to have about 2/3rds of these biomes for players to explore, along with their corresponding bosses and mini-bosses.

The lore in the game teaches about meditation. The final game aims to teach 3 forms of meditation with invitations to meditate up to 30 minutes in length! The Early Access version will have a limited amount of depth, offering shorter meditations.»

Hva er nåværende tilstand for versjonen i tidlig tilgang?

«The focus for early access is polishing the experience of the first half of the game and validating that experience to inform the final act of the game. While the experience is ideally very close to the final game, there may be improvements based on feedback.

The current state contains about 2/3 of the final game map area to explore, along with bosses, mini-bosses, and story experiences.

Art and effects are close to final, but may be adjusted.

All 4 characters are playable, with all abilities available to unlock.

Face the Bison Stampede-a formidable challenge, the Slime Menace-a big gooey problem, and the Spider Queen-who lurks in the cavern shadows. Each boss will test your skills, reflexes, and quick thinking.»

Vil spillet være priset annerledes under og etter tidlig tilgang?

«The Early Access version of the game is priced at a discount as bonus for your early investment and vote of confidence!»
