What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“Plague Inc: Evolved is in Early Access because it is currently in active development and features dangerous pathogens – so please wash your hands after playing to avoid infection!

On a serious note, it is in Early Access because the game is stable and polished but not currently feature-complete. Early Access is a great way to get player feedback on features as they are added in - helping to make Plague Inc. perfect!

Over 35 million people have played Plague Inc. to date and their input has been invaluable. Please get in touch and let me know how you want the game to evolve!”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We are working very hard to add in new content and cool features and hope to be out of Early Access in a few months.”

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

“The Early Access version is stable and polished with the core game complete. The Full Version will have additional features added.

So far - we have added:

The mind controlling Neurax Worm special disease type
The zombie-making Necroa Virus special disease type
The Simian Flu from the Dawn of the Planet of the Apes movie!
18 Official Scenarios
Custom Scenario Creator
Speed run gameplay mode
3 new cheats and greatly enhanced cheat functionality
Mac support

We are still working on:

Competitive Multiplayer mode
Co-operative Multiplayer mode
Linux support

”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“At the moment, the game is stable and polished with the core game complete and we are working on additional features. Please only buy the game now if you are OK with this and understand that you may also encounter bugs (not the good, world-killing kind...).”

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

“We may increase the price when the game comes out of early access but this has not been decided yet”

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

“Player feedback and comments are incredibly important for the development process of Plague Inc: Evolved. We are extremely grateful for having such a passionate group of players and we make sure not to take it for granted.

Players will be able to send us feedback and ideas via the steam forums, the in-game contact form, twitter, Facebook etc. We will also use polls and specific forum threads to gather targeted feedback as required.

Developer commitments:

Be open and honest with players
Clearly communicate our development plans
Always post a change log when an update is released (I hate it when this doesn't get done :P)
Read every single comment on the forums and be an active presence
Respond to every support email

Note - due to Steam Friends limit - I can't accept every friend request - sorry! I will refresh my friend list every month or so in order to talk to new people.”

Development Log - Scenario Creator and Multiplayer

The next update is nearly here! More info on what it will contain as well as other things we are working on below...

Scenario Creator to get Events Lab update

In the next few days, the beta for the most powerful Scenario Creator update yet goes live. The Events Lab adds vast scripting / mod options on top of all the other labs you can already use. With this you will be able to make killer robots stampede through countries, have zombies that spontaneously explode, or just put the entire population of Greenland in a rocket and send them to the moon! The only limit will be your imagination (and scripting skills :P).

New Featured Community Scenarios

Players are making some awesome scenarios and Featured Scenarios highlight some of the most inventive and polished creations. Here are the latest Featured Scenarios - congrats to authors!
Cult of Cthulhu by Morrolan
Primeval Anomalies by brothercake
Last Judgement by Fallon
Animatronic by 男性を負担
Human Hives by SKello89

You can check out these and thousands of other scenarios in game now!

Multiplayer development

With the Scenario Creator almost complete, development time is shifting over to Multiplayer. I'm having a great time as I get to pull out my design hat and develop new systems that really shine in a player vs player environment. The current focus is competitive multiplayer and we will move onto co-operative multiplayer after that.

More on this soon!

Early Access Evolution 11 released - Multi-language support for Custom Scenarios! (and dev log)

Evolution 11 notes
I'm amazed by the quality of custom scenarios that the community is making and one piece of feedback we have repeatedly got is that people want to be able to translate their scenarios without having to make multiple different versions on the Steam Workshop as this splits the community.

Your wish is my command and I am pleased to say that we have therefore added the ability to have multiple languages for your scenario which means that people can play the scenario in their own language! If their language isn't available, then the creator can also set which language it will default to in this case.

This update also includes a number of tweaks and fixes for the game - see change log below.

Development log
I'm keen to make sure that great custom scenarios get discovered by players and we are starting to look at them to see which scenarios should be featured. There are load of scenarios to look at so if you are interested in helping out - then please follow this link to become a Custom Scenario Creator Judge.

Our Early Access journey continues and the next Evolution (12) will add immense power to the Scenario Creator in the form of the Events Lab. This will allow you to create game-changing events and narrative pop ups for your scenario using powerful mod/scripting tools. The only limit is your imagination :P

We are also hard at work on multiplayer now and are having a lot of fun testing it in Office Zero. Will share more news soon!

Happy Halloween!

James

About This Game

Plague Inc: Evolved is a unique mix of high strategy and terrifyingly realistic simulation. Your pathogen has just infected 'Patient Zero' - now you must bring about the end of human history by evolving a deadly, global Plague whilst adapting against everything humanity can do to defend itself.

Plague Inc. is so realistic that the CDC even asked the developer to come and speak about the infection models in the game! http://blogs.cdc.gov/publichealthmatters/2013/04/plague-inc/.

Over 35 million players have been infected by Plague Inc., and Plague Inc: Evolved combines the original critically acclaimed gameplay with significant, all-new features for PC:

Infectious Multiplayer - cooperative and competitive gameplay modes let you team up to fight the cure with friends, or compete in a race to kill the world.
Contagious Content Creator - hit the lab and develop your own custom scenarios, creating new plague types and worlds. Bring your deadliest ideas to life and share them with Steam Workshop.
Blinding Graphics - including full 3D disease models taking you closer to your plague than ever before, city-cams showing humanity's struggle at street level, and the body scanner highlighting the full effect of your mutations, organ by organ.
Deadly Data - predict government responses with priority indicators, geek out with loads of new stats and graphs, and analyse your best strategies with end-of-game replays.

Please note that Plague Inc: Evolved is currently in Early Access (see above for more details). We are currently hard at work and will be adding / polishing features over the coming weeks. More information: http://www.ndemiccreations.com/en/31-plague-inc-evolved-early-access.

10 Different Disease Types – Master every pathogen; from bacteria to bio-weapons and mind control to zombies, end humanity by any means possible – different diseases will need radically different approaches.
Infectious Multiplayer – Cooperative and Competitive gameplay; team up to fight the cure with friends, or compete in a race to kill the world.
Contagious Content Creator – Hit the lab; develop your own custom scenarios - creating new plague types and worlds. Bring your deadliest ideas to life and share them with Steam Workshop.
18 Unique Scenarios – Adapt your strategy; scenarios create further challenges for your pandemic – how will you handle a new strain of Swine Flu, or infect a world in Ice Age?
Stunning Graphical Features – Watch your disease take hold; witness your pathogen mutate in real-time disease models, see humanity's struggle at street-level on city-cams, and watch the full effect of your mutations organ-by-organ on the body scanner.
Hyper-Realistic World – Strategize in the real world; advanced AI and use of real-world data and events make Plague Inc: Evolved a highly authentic simulation of a world-ending pathogen. Even the CDC likes it!
Deadly Data - Geek out with stats and graphs; monitor infection and death levels, track government reactions and cure efforts, then review your plague's success (or failure!) with full game replays.
And much more... - Including speed runs, Mega-Brutal difficulty and genetic modification... Plus loads of new disease types and scenarios in future (free!) updates.
