Why Early Access?

“This game is a large undertaking for us, and we want it to become the best it can be. For that to happen, we want to involve the player community as early and as much as possible. We have previous experience of evolving our games after they were released and we think that made them better.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We estimate about 18 months, give or take a few. So until summer of 2023 or thereabouts.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“We will be adding more tech ages and LOTS of more content. Some of the core features will also be built out more and fine-tuned before the official release.
We will also investigate adding a “Build” mode, where you can focus less on survival and more on building cool villages and showing off your creative side.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“At the moment of writing this (May 2023), we are nearly ready for full release, and it’s time to update these answers:
Stone Age and Bronze Age are complete, while Iron Age is half-way done. There are hundreds of objects to craft, wild and domestic animals, 40 player characters, 100+ missions, 20 different skills to master, Savannah, jungles, deserts, rockies, rivers, lakes, ocean, ...
in short hundreds of hours of playtime.
There are several difficulty levels to progress through, possibility to start your own tribes and to invite friends to play together, either privately or with possibility for other players to join as guests.
The game is playable, enjoyable, and doesn't have any serious bugs that get in the way. We still plan to add a couple of game mechanics and to complete Iron Age content before we do the formal 1.0 release.
Even after the full release, the plan is to keep adding to the game for as long as the community supports us. There will be iOS and Android versions released too, with cross play between all platforms.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“It is a possibility that we will raise the price as we add more content to the game, but currently there are no plans for changes except for the ones we have already done during the early access period.
As is customary on Steam, there may be seasonal discounts, but no promises or guarantees about that.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“We will use the Steam forum for the players and ourselves to discuss ideas and report issues. We also have a Discord server where players can talk live about their experiences, plan playing together and so on. We will post updates to the Steam page as they happen.”
