What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“Newcomer is an experimental language learning videogame that is currently a playable alpha. As a solo developer, it's important to receive community feedback from early access users about the language learning systems/progression so that I spend my development time wisely. I have many additional content and features planned, which are often based on community feedback.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“I anticipate being in Early Access for 6 - 9 more months.”

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

“I plan to continue to expand the in-game world and language content. Currently, an early access user has access to learning a limited number of second language vocabulary and phrases. Some planned features are not present in the Early Access version of Newcomer, such as: NPC trading screens, player skills, and a variety of minigames”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The store page currently gives an overview of all available content in the game. No future content is showcased.”

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

“The game will double in price for its full release.”

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

“I am planning on being active in the Steam discussion section as well as creating discussion threads related to certain mechanics of the game to better gather feedback. I am also very active in my Discord.”
