Why Early Access?

“Dead End is currently in Early Access to allow for the development of the game's features based on community feedback. Our team is dedicated to creating a fun and well-rounded experience, and we believe that player input is invaluable in achieving this goal. As development progresses, we plan on adding significantly more content to the game. We appreciate your support and involvement in the Early Access phase as we work towards a full release.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We plan to continue developing Dead End for approximately six months to a year during its Early Access phase. However, we recognize that our development timeline may evolve some based on community feedback and our internal roadmap.”

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

“We plan for the full version of Dead End to provide significantly more content and features than the current Early Access version. During the Early Access phase, we plan to add new survival maps, campaigns, and weapons, as well as improve existing systems and address any bugs. We also intend to gather feedback and suggestions from the community to ensure that the game meets players expectations. While we cannot make specific promises about the game's future, we intend to remain committed to working closely with our players to shape the development of Dead End and create an enjoyable experience.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The Early Access version is fully functional in both singleplayer and multiplayer. While our development team has made significant progress in refining the game's core mechanics such as player movement, combat, and AI, we acknowledge that there is still work to be done to reach our desired level of quality. At launch, players can enjoy the survival and procedural campaign modes, with many additional content updates planned for the near future.”

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

“We plan to increase the price slightly after the Early Access phase is complete. However, we want to emphasize that we plan to continue to add new content updates and improvements beyond Early Access. Exiting Early Access signifies our confidence in the game's core gameplay and features, allowing us to shift our focus towards creating additional enjoyable content for our players”

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

“As part of our commitment to creating an enjoyable experience for our players, we plan to actively involve the community in the development process. We will utilize our Discord server, as well as other community outlets on Steam, to facilitate ongoing feedback and interaction with our player base throughout the Early Access phase and beyond. Our development team will take all feedback seriously and use it to try and shape the game to meet the expectations of the community.”
