Why Early Access?

“Early Access was decided upon because this is a huge game currently, and it will only get bigger, with lots of play styles and features. As such, there is a lot of room for added, player suggested features on top of the ones that are already implemented or planned. Perhaps you want the option to fish in addition to hunting? This is a good period to let us know! Early Access should allow the players to shape the games they play to make them better, and Commercium will reflect that.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Commercium will have an Early Access period of six months. If it is not ready at that point, Commercium will remain in early access as long as large game play features are being added/removed.”

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

“Commercium is aiming to be a very in-depth sandbox game, starting from building amazingly detailed homes, and ending with a large world with wildlife and other players. We will slowly add content such as food, furniture and craft-able items, along with adding game play features entirely, such as in game jobs and mini games.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Current features available in current state of development include:

• Home building, with furniture, working lights, lamps, doors and radio.
  
• Weapons, like the pistol and explosive launcher
  
• Basic Crafting elements
  
• Basic survival aspects
  
• Horses you can ride
  
• A massive town + map to explore
  
• Roles you can play, such as police, mayor and doctor

”

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

“The price will be remain consistent during Early Access, barring sales. Once the game is completed and leaves early access, the price will change to reflect a full sandbox experience.”

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

“There will be polls during development on which features are most valuable to the Community, so that things can be done to make the current game that is available more entertaining while working towards release.

In addition to that, the forums will host suggestion boards, along with feedback and bug reports.

In short: The Community can add features to the road map that they feel are necessary, or help us decide what is most important to them.”
