Why Early Access?

“We have a great game and you have great ideas - Early access is a platform that allows us to put those things together so you can help Lost Home grow to its full potential.
With development now moving at full speed, it’s more important than ever that the community continues to share its valuable feedback with us and that we’re able to incorporate those ideas as quickly as possible. That’s why Early Access was clearly a great platform for this game and now we can continue the Raft journey together!”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We don't want to work on Stranded Deep forever. If all goes well, we're hoping to have it completed by the fall 2020.”

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

“The full version will be more polished and have more content. Essentially the full version will be a more refined version; there shouldn't be any drastic changes or fundamental differences. For example, the full version might have a larger variety of enemies/items/areas.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“This is Early Access and this is an early build.

Some of the core mechanics are in place and functional. Players will be able to use find and use weapons to kills zombies and take advantage of the environment to hide from the enemies. Every current object and item in the game has a purpose and functionality that we will no doubt have to balance as development continues.

There is no "end-game" yet, so players will not be able to "beat" the game or be rescued.

Optimization is an ongoing process. We've made many optimizations along the way and have incorporated comprehensive graphics options, but there's always more to do. We are confident in a stable performant build but this is never a guarantee.”

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

“The price will remain the same during Early Access. After Early Access has finished, the final price will reflect the additional content added during development - but it won't be a big change”

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

“We’ll, of course, continue this relationship during the Early Access period with regular blog posts detailing development progress and active appearances on the Steam community forums. We also have a Facebook and Twitter page where you can write to us. We will do our absolute best to answer as many of your messages as we can and promise to do our best to take your feedback and ideas into consideration because we believe that it will lead to the best possible game!”
