What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“We believe the best way to build a deep, engaging survival crafting experience is to involve players as early as possible. Early Access allows us to gather valuable feedback on balancing, progression, onboarding, multiplayer, and long-term systems while continuing to expand the game together with the community.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“While it is difficult to provide an exact timeline, we currently anticipate that Romestead will remain in Early Access for approximately one to two years.

This timeframe allows us to continue expanding the game with new content and features while maintaining a sustainable pace of development and acting on community feedback.”

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

“Our goal for the full version of Romestead is to deliver a more polished, expanded, and feature-rich experience compared to the Early Access launch.

Throughout Early Access, we plan to introduce additional biomes, bosses, progression tiers, points of interest, decorations, and expanded world content. We also plan to continue improving performance, balancing, overall polish, expanded accessibility, and full controller support.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“We already feel the Early Access version of Romestead captures the fantasy of exploring, surviving, and building across the ruins of a fallen Roman world.

The Early Access version includes the core gameplay systems of Romestead, including exploration, combat, crafting, farming, town-building, progression across three distinct biomes, co-op multiplayer, and a procedurally generated world featuring handcrafted dungeons and points of interest.”

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

“Yes. We expect to gradually increase the price of Romestead as new content and features are added throughout Early Access and as we move closer to the full 1.0 release.”

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

“Community involvement is an important part of our development process. We invite players to join our official Discord server to share feedback, report bugs, discuss balance, and suggest improvements directly with the team.

We will use community feedback to help prioritize improvements, quality-of-life features, balancing changes, and future content throughout Early Access.”
