“Because Heist.exe was going to be demoed at Game Con Canada 2025, I wanted to give players a way to experience the game before its full release. I was originally aiming for a full release in late June 2025, but there ended up being much more to do for the game and I realized it wouldn't be ready for release by that point (even solo developers have multiple responsibilities and—*gasp!*—a life outside them). However, I've since learned that Early Access lets me strike a compromise between delivering the essence of the experience to players and releasing it in a state that will fully satisfy them.”

Trò chơi này sẽ ở trạng thái truy cập sớm trong khoảng bao lâu?

“As of now, I don't have a straight answer for this. Due to several factors such as life responsibilities, professional endeavors, and more (see more here: https://steamcommunity.com/app/3749980#scrollTop=4594.66650390625), I have had to delay Heist.exe's full release twice. I'm hoping I can release the full game some time near the end of the year, but I can't guarantee that'll be enough time.

Either way, development has been progressing, just slowly. I will update the community in case I believe I need more time, or when I have a better idea of when the game might be ready. Please forgive me.”

Phiên bản đầy đủ sẽ có sự khác biệt thế nào so với phiên bản truy cập sớm?

“At a baseline, my goal for the full version is to include more levels than the two planned for Early Access. I also intend to give it a good deal more narrative. That means players will get to experience not just a polished stealth game, but also the intrigue surrounding it and a climactic conclusion I'll try to deliver with the final level. The game may also have more artistic polish.”

Tình trạng hiện tại của phiên bản truy cập sớm là gì?

“Currently, the game has two full levels (one of which even has multiple paths!), all of the player character's core actions are implemented, and the game contains two types of enemies and navigational mechanics. Said navigational mechanics are also used in puzzles.”

Liệu trò chơi sẽ có giá khác nhau giữa và sau khi truy cập sớm?

“Yes, pricing will change AFTER Early Access. I intend to make Heist.exe free during Early Access to open the door to as many players as possible. Afterwards, I intend to put a price on the full experience. The final Early Access build will remain playable as a free demo, so it will be separate from the final game.”
