What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“We want to make this game the best possible. But we can't do it without feedback from the players. We need to iterate our ideas and test them out in the wild, so we want to make this game available to a larger group of people.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Most of the primary game mechanics are ready. However, we still need to add depth to the game by expanding the "life" aspect of DevLife. This will require a lot of work, but we expect to be able to do it within a year. However, we do not intend to rush anything and deliver the best possible product when it is ready.”

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

“What is going to make DevLife stand out from the competition is the mechanics emphasizing the character's role-playing in the game. In future versions, we plan to add more character traits and Interactive Events in which players are able to decide on the fate of their characters and the people around them. We will also add content to the game such as new furniture or locations.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The game already at this stage includes almost all of the planned mechanics. It is possible to create your own projects, as well as those from commissions, hire employees, buy and equip locations, choose your character traits and make decisions in Interactive Events.”

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

“The decision to change the price during and after early access will be made based on the amount of content that is currently in the game. We plan to gradually increase the price of the game with the addition of new content.”

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

“Player feedback is extremely important to us, so we will listen to all comments and suggestions. They will have a significant impact on the future development of the game. It will also help us with finding glitches and bugs to fix before the official release.”

We won't stop here. In future versions, we plan to expand the "life" aspect of DevLife by adding more theme-based Interactive Events. Besides, with each update in the game the available content will be expanded, there are plans for:

  • New Character Customization Options
