What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“Mendel's garden is an experimental take on gardening games because of which we feel that involving the community in its development will help us get much needed feedback on the direction of the game and ensure we create something that people can thoroughly enjoy. We currently have about 2-3 hours worth of content in the game which explores the first area in the game. We hope to add much more with frequent updates and hope to provide our early access players with regular new content to enjoy.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We want to keep the game in Early Access for roughly twelve months and are currently planning on releasing the game by late 2020.”

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

“The full version will have additional gardens to explore with different twists to the 'Trait' mechanic which is the fundamental part of Mendel's Garden. It'll also feature additional characters from the Bhumi universe and further Mendel's story arc.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The current version of the game contains The Garden of Eden (one of the five explorable gardens) which is fully playable and explorable with its own narrative.”

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

“We do plan on gradually increasing the price as we add new content or features. However we will make sure that we post early announcements regarding any price increases.”

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

“We hope to get the community's feedback on the various gardens and twists to the 'Trait' mechanic as we keep adding more content with every update. We hope to interact with the community on the Steam community group so as to listen to any feedback people might have.”
