What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“For me, Early Access is important to work closely with the community and I also want to give players the opportunity to have earlier access. I am a sole developer and the game needs a lot of polishing and improvements before the final release. I'm really looking forward to criticism and suggestions to see what needs to be changed or what features could be added to further improve the game.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Deadly Shaft has been in development since 2022 and my goal is to leave Early Access status in 5 years to complete all planned features and content for all players.”

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

“I plan to add a large world map with buildings, resources, ruins, forests and caves in the full version of Deadly Shaft. What I also want to work towards are more features, more items, a crafting system, more missions, tasks, improved AI behavior and better intelligence of the characters. Player feedback allows me to improve all the features and content in the game.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The game is still in very early development and is still in the alpha stage. So far, the game is more of an environment simulation with little content and a few features. However, there are already important features in place for later gameplay. For example, you can hide in closets, sit on benches, be chased by the homeowner, carry items, or enjoy the view.”

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

“Over time, as the game is populated with more features, improvements and planned features, the game will increase in price.”

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

“Working together with the community I find very important. Criticism, suggestions, improvements and bugs can be submitted at any time in the Steam forum - I am very happy to accept the wishes and criticisms of the community and am ready to add some mentioned features in the game. However, I can't promise if the mentioned content and features will be implemented as well.”
