Why Early Access?

“Putting the game out there while there is still more content to be added is a great way to gather more feedback, which will help polish the player’s experience one update at a time and get early opinions on the game while extending the game's scope and improving its content.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“As of now, no date has been set in stone, but we’re looking at a time frame of roughly a year. Maybe a bit less or a bit more, depending on players feedback and external factors.”

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

“Throughout the game’s early access phase, we plan to add more enemies, bosses and areas to the game, on top of expanding the main story to lead the player to different ending possibilities.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Gameplay wise, everything is in there: All navigational abilities (Jump, Double Jump, Dash, Wall Cling & Gliding) are implemented and fully functional. In terms of the game world, players can already get a glimpse of 10 different biomes, fight a dozen unique enemies, get to the “false” ending, and meet a quirky cast of 20+ colorful characters.”

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

“The game’s price will slightly increase over time.”

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

“Community is at the core of this project. Aeternum Vale was originally founded on Kickstarter by 135 amazing backers who became the game’s backbone through our Discord Server. Since then, they have been able to experience technical demos, alpha builds, and have significantly contributed in shaping the game! By releasing in Early Access, we hope to keep developing this awesome community and gather even more feedback to make Aeternum Vale the best game it can possibly be! : )”
