Why Early Access?

“Why early access? Great question! We've been working on this game for about 2 years now, and a giant proportion of that was on design and research, but yet the game is still far from our vision. If you are to buy this game as well or ever think of buying it, you can shape it with us, the development team. We want to develop this game with additions from the community it has, and meanwhile, add our own ideas to it.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“The game as far as we can hope will be on early access for no longer than 6 months. There will be weekly updates, actually make that bi-weekly! tri-weekly! quad-weekly?

Small tweaks and additions may require a lot more updates than we are planning right now, but time consistency should stay pretty much the same, addressing bugs if any at the start, followed by a surge of MASSIVE (humble) additions.”

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

“We want to add stories! Lots of them! Interactivity, choices, consequences, all that good stuff! The initial thought we had at MOLC HQ when thinking about how to handle the additions of new stories to an already interactive world with a sense of time was to just finish all the stories by the launch of the game. Now we could do that, sure thing, but adding things incrementally as the players get into the game, also with inputs from the community, in our opinions would be more ideal. There are core story arcs that are available on launch, and no new additions or characters will alter those, but they'll give you a reason to come back a couple months down the road, to play and experience new things. As far as gameplay goes, non-story interactive jobs and hobbies are planned to be added, as well as many experimental mechanics we've been trying to get "just right" in our studio. TLDR; Lots of stuff to do in game at launch, even more stuff to do after early access!”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The game is working. That is saying a lot thinking of many early access titles we've played before. Jokes aside, the game is mostly done, including the main story branches, a lot of the side stories, core gameplay loops, and the most intresting mechanics of the game . For us the Early Access label is more of a promise of "more to come" rather than "Hey test our game for us and pay for it please". You may also refer to the "Key Features" section for further information.”

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

“We currently have no plans to increase pricing after early access. Actually we may lower it? (They said if I write that no one will buy the game during early access)

But that sweet launch discount is nice!”

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

“Yes yes and yes. Absolutely 100% yes! And and every feedback is appreciated, tell us what you think, rant on in the Steam discussions, trolls welcome as well. Also a couple of contact mails will be available somewhere else probably. Dunno, just doesn't feel proper to share support info here.

You look smart though, you'll figure it out!”
