Miksi Early Access?

With a small team of less than 10 Developers, we have been working on Fractured Veil for more than 7 years. The first releases of 2024 will most likely be ALPHA builds, and we’ll likely reach a BETA stage a few months after our initial launch.

As Game Developers we have a plan and vision for the game, but we genuinely believe that our players’ feedback is the key to making the best survival game possible. For this reason, we have decided to get Fractured Veil in the hands of the Steam Early Access Community as soon as we can. We have finally reached a stage where we feel our game’s core experience is playable and enjoyable.

There’s tons to do, and we can’t wait to embark on this journey together!

Miten kauan peli tulee arviolta olemaan Early Access -vaiheessa?

We anticipate Early Access taking roughly 16-24 months, with the full release by fall 2025.

We will be in this for the long haul to build the best survival game the community has ever seen. While we are hyper-focused on getting FRV into a releasable state our plan is to stay in Early Access for as long as it takes to get it right.

Millä tavoin lopullinen versio tulee eroamaan Early Access -versiosta?

The final released version will have much more content, with more areas to explore, new dangers to survive, and many more items to craft. FRV will continue to be updated, expanded upon, and supported throughout Early Access.

Mikä on Early Access -version tila tällä hetkellä?

For the first Early Access release, the team focus is to have the “Core” of the game fully functional.
We are happy to say the game already includes:

• In-depth base building and tiered crafting system
  
• Land Claiming System (Totems) and PvE-Only Zones.
  
• Mutant siege system with base destruction
  
• Dungeons ranging from narrow to open spaces
  
• Harvesting, Hunting and Scavenging to eat, drink and survive
  
• Day/Night Cycle with Dynamic Weather
  
• Hawaiian Weapons, Tools, Clothing, Armor and Items
  
• RPG-inspired Player Progression with Talents, Abilities and Skills
  
• Open world featuring 64 square kilometer map based on the topography of Maui
  
• Complex yet intuitive Character Customization worthy of any role-player
  
• A Basic implementation of Fishing.
  
• Our 24/7 Live-Streaming AI drone.

Muuttuuko pelin hinta Early Access -vaiheen jälkeen?

Pricing is likely going to increase based on the scope of the final product.

Miten yhteisö otetaan mukaan kehitysprosessiin?

We encourage all players of the game to join us on our Discord server: https://discord.gg/fracturedveil where we have sections dedicated to reporting bugs, making suggestions, discussing survival games and anything else that could be used to make FRV as good as it can be.

Our goal, first and foremost, is to let the community drive our development process. It might not be possible to incorporate every piece of feedback we receive, but we're excited to participate in larger conversations about what makes survival games great and learn from the success of other titles while improving on their shortcomings. We hold sacred the voice of the community and will continue the conversation well past Early Access.

We also host play sessions with our community and feedback meetings to give players the opportunity to report bugs and make suggestions to us directly.
