What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“As a solo developer, early access provides a key way to gather crucial early feedback from customers so that the game can be improved in a meaningful way. I want this game to be as good as possible, so it's important that I gather feedback from players who are interested and adjust the game accordingly. It's also important that I release a game that is as free of bugs as possible and having many players providing feedback from many different types of systems is very helpful in that respect as well.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“It's hard to say how long the game will be in early access but I would hope for around 6 months to a year to go from early access to full version. It ultimately depends on the feedback I receive in the early access.”

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

“The full version to have better balancing, more refined cutscenes and stories as well as improved artwork especially with regards to the character portraits.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Currently Implemented features:
  • Crop system: Plant, water, and tend to your crops until they are ready to harvest. Then sell them for profit.
  • Crafting: Create various items from different combinations of raw materials to enhance your farm and to create more valuable items and resources.
  • Ranching: Care for livestock - chickens, cows, ducks, sheep, and pigs.
  • Fishing: Fish for various kinds of fish.
  • Foraging: Live off the land looking for valuable fruits that only grow during certain parts of the year.
  • Townsfolk and social system: Meet the townsfolk. Give them gifts and gain their friendship for many benefits and more!
  • Marriage
  • Have a kid
  • Festivals
  • Upgrade your house
  • Cutscenes: Get to know the townsfolk in fun cutscenes.
  • Town Hall: Renovate the Town Hall to help the local community and gain new abilities.
  • Wish Lists: Fulfill the townsfolks' wish lists to befriend them.
  • Gifting: Give gifts to the townsfolk to make friends.
  • Museum: Try to fil the local museum with your exotic collection of items.
  • Mining: Mine minerals from the local mines.
  • Seasons: Four seasons to experience the flow of rural village life.
  • Grandpa's final judgment: Grandpa will award you a rating based on your performance after 2 years! Don't let him down!

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

“The price may increase after full release. Given the amount of time it has taken to get this game into early access and the amount of hours I'm planning on spending to get it into a full release with new and improved features I am leaning towards increasing the price after early access.”

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

“I hope that the community will provide feedback through the Steam forums or through discord/email. Hopefully the game client will include a built-in feedback submitter as well.”
