Why Early Access?

“We are planning to expand the world of EVERSLAUGHT and increase the scale significantly over the Early Access period. Also we are taking the time to fully optimize for VR playability & feel, building new mechanics from the ground up. Our goal is to take Action RPGs to the next level in VR, and this is why we have decided to include other fans of the genre and let you participate in the process. Early Access just made sense to us, considering all this.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We are planning to reach the 1.0 version of our game towards the end of 2022. That's definitely not set in stone though, since we already have a huge backlog of ideas that will allow us to further iterate on the project beyond that date. Our goal is to continuously expand on the game with a multitude of features and content updates, which will be heavily influenced by the feedback from our community.”

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

“We want to expand on EVERSLAUGHT's RPG elements, Lore and world building. While we do that, we will also focus on polishing the game mechanics more and more throughout the Early Access period. While we are planning to have a heavily randomized structure (similar to other "loot dungeon crawlers"), we also want to have linear components in between to expand on the world and lore around it.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The core gameplay loop that we've planned is already in there: A linear section, randomly generated dungeons, random loot drops, unique enemy behaviours, enemy spawning systems for big fights, player progression & skill points, purchaseable player perks, rare weapon properties, melee fighting, grappling hook, ranged weaponry, VR-optimized gameplay mechanics... and probably more stuff :)”

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

“The game will be released to Early Access at a discounted price. As the content and feature updates ramp up (as well as our production costs), the game price will be gradually increased.”

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

“We have a dedicated Discord channel for our community to participate in, as well as the Steam Forum and Community pages. We will develop an open process through which community feedback and suggestion tickets can be submitted and their state tracked by the community. Further information will be given through the channels mentioned above.”
