Why Early Access?

“I had once attempted to Greenlight this game, back when Steam Greenlight was a thing and I got very useful feedback to improve the product. I am hoping to get feedback early in the overhaul process, so that I can know if I am going in the right direction of what players want in the game.

I am fully committed to finishing this game and improving existing content. To show it, I am willing to make regular devlogs and show my progress.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“I estimate about 1-2 years.”

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

“The full version is planned to have all 13 episodes, as well as all gameplay systems in place. This is a list of the planned features, but it is not exhaustive:

- Gold as a currency and trade being possible between the player and NPCs.
- Opportunities to set tag attributes in the beginning of the game.
- Being able to do various dives and participate in a diving competition.
- The old DLC Jewellery Stories to be seamlessly integrated into the game.
- A fully complete story with multiple endings.
- More levels and quests with more gameplay variety than exists now.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The first three episodes are fully playable out of 13. Currently, this exists in the game (not exhaustive):

- Being able to get XP and level up from quest completion.
- Inventory and various other menus are complete. Their associated systems are mostly complete, except for the gold currency system.
- A reliable save game system.
- A total of 6 quests to complete.

What is in the description, is already available in the game now. It will be amended in due course once more features become available.”

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

“I will offer a low initial price for the amount of content that exists right now, then I will gradually raise the price once new content becomes available.”

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

“I will encourage and gather feedback, which I will use to improve the existing content and make the new content all the better.”
