Early Access Game

Get instant access and start playing; get involved with this game as it develops.

What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“We are an independent developer and being on Early Access allows us the chance to earn the trust and support of our community by sharing our progress, intentions, and ideas. Also equally important to us is that we are able to make a game and utilize new technology with and for the community and even other developers. We get the opportunity to create strong relationships with our players and get deeper insight into what they are doing and saying so that we can act on what things actually need to change and look at things from other perspectives.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Very difficult to say, since we are developing an engine, distribution platform for mods, data systems, and the game layer itself. The project is ever evolving, but its likely that the community will decide when they think its "feature complete" to bring it out of EA.”

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

“Solely dependent on how far the community sees it going, before we can classify it out of early access. This is one of the biggest issues in developing what we are, vs a traditional game.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Unique terrain generation and manipulation, magic, crafting, cooking, building, farming, and some fairly dumb enemy AI. Only functional on DX11 machines (check graphics cards as well as OS). Also, not currently for sale, while we get closer to releasing openGL.”

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

“There is a lot of discussion among ourselves as devs, and the community. One idea that is currently being taken very seriously, is making the entire project free, and selling aesthetic goods, as a means to allow everyone to enjoy the project, but only getting financial support from people that truly believe in what we are doing.”

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

“Data gives insights into what needs to be changed that already exists, however new systems and features can come from us, or be licensed from mods that the community has introduced, which proves valuable and fun to the community.”

About This Game

Note: We have had a great deal of success from the 1.0 version, and the communities feedback has been invaluable. Putting full focus into the completion of ver 2.0, we are taking the project down from steam, until we are prepared for launch in Q4 2016 (winterish). We will be sharing progress of the new engine and TUG ver 2.0, as we get closer to release, so please feel free to follow @nerdkingdom for updates.

The new engine brings significant advances over the current 1.0 version, including:
- access to more generations of hardware,
- enhanced graphics
- super fancy new art
- flexible modding/dev environment
- pretty rad mod distribution system
- data/analytics systems for modders
- logic systems
- new terrain generation
- simplified user experience
- 71% less wtf.

Early versions of 2.0 will go to existing TUG users, who will later be able to invite their friends who do not currently have access.

This game, its whole story and history, embodies everything about why early access is a bad idea. I will never see my 10 dollars again, nor will I ever see a finished game. This project was a scam, pure and simple.

I bought this game for it's potential. Still waiting on devs to deliver. I am at the point where I believe that Early Access games are not worth the money. It was a great idea to help developers spend more time on their games and not have to worry about how they will pay for groceries. The problem is that if these developers really did have the dedication to put out a great game, they would be working for a larger game studio or be able to get outside investment money for their company.

I still recommend the game ONLY because I believe the devs said they would not put it on the market until V2.0 where it looks to be a more completed product. They could have left it up to get as much $ as possible, which would have made it easy for me to vote it down. I DO NOT recommend buying it until it is completed though. So if you see it available for purchase then PLEASE research their update notes and community activity FIRST. The game needs to be fully vetted by you before you take the risk. Nerd Kingdom has made HUGE changes to their game midstream. I understand not everything goes according to plan, but changing game engines is an example of a monumental lack of foresight that costs them loads of $, and face with the community.

In short... Nerd Kingdom has had great vision, but poor execution

Another early access flop. Should've known better buying early access and from the developer's only game. Shomehow the developers are still hiring, but have stopped development altogether. I wish there was someway to get a portion of the price of an early access game back when developers abandon projects, but I knew it was a risk going in. DO NOT BUY!

Currently very underdeveloped with lots of broken/unfulfilled promises. When I bought this game in 2014, so many great things were promised... enough to make me buy the game to support development. But now, nearly two years later, the game is still just as incomplete and unplayable. There was great potential with their ideas for the game, but with the current state of things, I'm not sure if we will ever see a completed game. Also, there's no point making a "v2.0" when there wasn't even a completed v1.0, It's just bad practice no matter what kind of software it is. Finally, to me, while monetization of aesthetics is better than that of actual content, it still tells me that they are just wanting more money as microtransactions have proven to be far superior to regular methods; microtransactions won't work when people don't even want to play the game in the first place because it barely exists.
tl;dr: Stay far, far away (possibly another galaxy) until they get their act together
