What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“As a solo developer with only a handful of testers I know that the game will not have a flawless release. Darkest Depths has been improved over it's development dramatically by the people who have tested and played it. I want to continue this trend with players who are as passionate about this game as I am. So long as I am not overwhelmed with feedback I will always take it under consideration and in a lot of times make adjustments based on it.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“When the players and I am satisfied with the state of the game.”

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

“More weapons, upgrades, active use items, bosses, levels, enemy types and possible game modes based on player feedback. Also leaderboards, improved art.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The current game has the first dungeon new game mode that can be completed. There are currently six guns to find, twenty random upgrades, leveling system, dungeon difficulty scaling, eight enemy types.

Everything listed in the "About This" section is in the current Early Access version. Refer to that for more details.”

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

“The game will cost more after Early Access.”

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

“The community will be the guiding force in the changes of the game. Player issues will always come first followed by additions and polish.
