Why Early Access?

“The world of Farmwand is big and has tons of interesting places to discover, dozens of characters and magic in every corner. But the only way we can truly realize our vision is with the help of our community. With your feedback and support, Farmwand will evolve and improve at the same time as we add brand new regions and playgrounds for you to explore.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We will remain in Early Access until we are happy with the amount of content and polish present in the game so that we can provide a worthy experience to our whole community. How long or short this time will be depends on many factors, but we are expecting a year or two of Early Access development.”

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

“Rather than offering a "Beta" as an Early Access, our plan is to give something closer to a "Base Game". We expect a lot of the core features and gameplay to be ready and available from the get-go, but a good chunk of the world will remain unavailable at first. As time goes by, we also plan to add new characters, locations and story beats to the game as well as some unique mechanics that depend on them. And we of course expect some great ideas to come from our community's feedback!”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“We expect to launch Early Access with over 20 crops, more than 10 magical plants and flowers, over a hundred decorative and / or craftable items, more than 40 different animals and magical creatures and a cast of more than twenty characters with their initial quests, as a sort of prologue. The romance options will be limited at first, as will the locations and main events. As we progress, new towns with their characters and unique creatures will be available, and new characters will join familiar places.”

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

“Yes! As a way to thank you for your support during this development stage (and to account for the limited content compared to the final release), we plan to gradually raise the price as we ship new content and features.”

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

“We will ask for your feedback regularly, as well as give you updates on where we are at and what is coming down the road, both here on Steam and on our Social media. We will do our best to hear everyone out and deliver a game that all of us can enjoy!”
