Why Early Access?

“Rum Skulls is a game that is constantly evolving and expanding its features. With the huge open world, dynamic gameplay, and endless possibilities for player interactions, we believe that early access is the perfect platform for players to experience the game and provide valuable feedback.

Early access allows us to involve the community in the development process, listening to their suggestions and implementing them to make the game even better. This way, players can be a part of shaping Rum Skulls into the ultimate pirate adventure game.

In addition, early access gives players a chance to jump into the game before its full release and experience the game as it evolves. This will give players a deeper understanding of the game's mechanics and help them master it before the final release.
Furthermore, early access allows us to test and fine-tune the game's balance and stability, ensuring a smooth and enjoyable gaming experience for all players. We value the feedback of our players and will work closely with them to make Rum Skulls the best it can be.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“The length of time that Rum Skulls will be in early access is dependent on player feedback and development progress. We are committed to creating a high-quality and immersive gaming experience, and will continue to add new content and features until we believe the game is ready for its full release. The current estimated timeframe for early access is 6-12 months, but this may change based on the needs of the game and its community. Rest assured, we will keep players updated on the progress and plans for the game's development during this time. We thank all players in advance for their support and patience as we work towards creating the best version of Rum Skulls for everyone to enjoy.”

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

“The full version of Rum Skulls is planned to have new and exciting features that will enhance the game's experience. We aim to expand the open world with more islands, each with unique environments and challenges. Additionally, we are considering the introduction of new enemy types, including powerful boss battles and legendary sea creatures.

As for crafting and progression, we are looking into implementing a more comprehensive and in-depth system. This would offer players more options and customization for their ships and crew, creating a unique and personalized pirate adventure. In terms of player interactions, we are exploring the possibility of adding trading and player-run factions to make gameplay more dynamic and immersive.

Overall, our goal for Rum Skulls is to provide a complete and polished gaming experience. We are continuously working on adding new content, features, and gameplay elements to satisfy the desires of all pirate fans. However, please note that the development and release of these planned additions are subject to change and may not be guaranteed. We invite players to join us on this pirate adventure and look forward to delivering an exciting gaming experience.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Our game has been in development for over a year and is currently in a beta version. We have implemented a variety of features and content such as multiplayer gameplay, voxel landscape with procedural foliage, dynamic combat, AI enemies, AI ship combat, loot system, crafting, quests, progression system, and resource collecting. However, as with any beta version, there may still be some bugs and areas in need of improvement before the final release.”

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

“No, we will be keeping the same price even after the game is fully released.”

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

“Using social media reviews and email feedback will be our best bet. Video play-throughs and visual feedback will help us tremendously with fixing bugs, adding features, and creating a better experience.”
