What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“Tiny Life is an open-ended sandbox game, which is a genre perfectly suited to Early Access, in our opinion. Early Access allows players to play the game during development, give feedback on existing and upcoming features, and see the game grow and develop. We want Early Access to be an opportunity for the game to grow with its community, through active involvement, custom content and modding, and frequent surveys for community feedback.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We hope to be able to implement enough features to comfortably deem the game ready for a full release within the next two years. We don't want to rush the game's full release, and we want to grasp its readiness through the community's response to the game during Early Access.”

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

“The roadmap for Tiny Life can be seen on its website, and contains plenty of small and large features alike. We plan to implement all of these throughout development, but not necessarily during Early Access. Since Tiny Life is a sandbox game, there is no final feature or story element at which the game will be finished. Throughout Early Access, more objects, clothes, skills, and other gameplay features will be added continually.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Tiny Life's Early Access version already features hours of in-game content and near-infinite replayability due to its sandbox structure. Each Tiny is unique, from their looks to their personality to their skills and relationships. Each lot and house you build or get from the community can feature hundreds of items with unique interactions and abilities.”

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

“Throughout Early Access, as more and more features and gameplay elements are added, Tiny Life's price will probably be raised gradually. Upon leaving Early Access, we don't plan for the price to change drastically, and so it will stay in the same region as it is now.”

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

“Tiny Life already features plenty of ways to involve the community. This includes the ability to share custom mods, lots, households, and maps with the community, a public feedback and issue report form, and frequent surveys that involve the community in decision-making for the game's upcoming features and changes.”
