Why Early Access?

“As a small indie studio, we value the feedback from you, our players. It is a major part of the development cycle and helps us shape the game into something the majority of you can enjoy. Feedback early in the process is extremely helpful, as doing major changes at a late stage can be virtually impossible.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Once we go Early Access, we expect to stay this way for approximately a year. The exact time will depend on how fast we can finish implementing remaining features and content, while at the same time dealing with feedback on existing features and content. Promising a specific time that we will stay in Early Access is risky business, we know this, it is common that titles stay in Early Access much longer than intended and ours might not be any different. However, we feel that actually getting to the finish line and fully releasing the title is more important than following arbitrary deadlines. We have always finished.”

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

“During Early Access many things are sure to change, and many of these changes will be the result of community feedback. This could potentially lead to some things being cut and also new things being added. If you would like to affect what stays and what goes, then kindly take part in discussions on Discord and the community discussion for Under a Rock here on Steam. We won’t always be part of the discussions ourselves, otherwise we will not have time to actually make the game, but we will watch them.

These are the additions we currently envision:

• Additional biomes
  
• Additional creatures
  
• Additional things to collect, craft and construct
  
• Boss fights
  
• We would also like to add taming, breeding, and riding during Early Access
  
• More optimizations for an even smoother game experience
  
• Further enhancements of the dynamic AI

This list will be updated before we enter Early Access as much can change between now and then.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Early Access is not yet open, and we are still a bit away from this happening. Please have a look at the ‘ABOUT THIS GAME’ section a bit further down on the page for details of the stage we are currently at. Also feel free to ask us questions on Discord and the community forum for Under a Rock here on Steam.”

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

“Price may increase moderately when we release. We will give at least one month notice on any price increase.”

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

“We would love hearing your thoughts. Feel free to share them on our Discord and on the discussion forum here on Steam.”
