Why Early Access?

“Due to the nature and scale of the game, we believe developing the project via early access allows us to periodically improve and update the game by giving players a glimpse of what’s to come. With new journeys to explore, puzzles to solve and unraveling a story that brings three adventurers together.

Early access gives us the opportunity to play test various systems and concepts together with the community before the final release date.

Developing War Islands has been a continued joy for us to work on as a team. We are excited to share this experience with our beloved players.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“While we do not have a specific release date at the moment, we expect the game will be in early access for around two years. Our aim is to ensure that the game is enjoyable rather than imposing a deadline which may affect the final product.”

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

“The full version will have several more features, such as all chapters, quests and environments to explore. We plan to use early access to better refine the gameplay mechanics and improve overall performance of the game.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“In terms of content, you can play with your friends (fully supported local split screen or online co-op) the Lighthouse Cave, Wookikota Forest, Crystal Cave, Honey Cave and the Morumotto Forest! These have their own unique puzzles, items and enemies! We’re also providing achievements, hidden islands and extra collectables during your journey.”

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

“The increased scope of the project will in future alter the price for full release. Players who join us during the early access period, will not only explore all the chapters sooner but also receive all future updates without the worry of a price increase upon final release.”

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

“The community will be a part of the creation process by giving us direct feedback that will be instrumental in providing constant improvements to the current and future versions of the game.”
