Why Early Access?

“Polyion has grown and changed as a game over the last 9 months, and I now feel ready to put the game out there. But the game needs more time so I can work on content and push it towards the desired vision. At its core Polyion provides a sandbox type experience, but due to time limitations I haven't been able to put everything into the game that I planned/wanted to.

I want the time to be able to publicly work on and provide the game to players, while still working on and updating the game. This is why I chose to launch Polyion into Early Access and why I feel like it will benefit the game in the long run.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“There is quite a bit to be done, but I plan to keep Polyion in Early Access for about 6 months.”

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

“Polyion will launch mainly as a sandbox world-building game, providing both survival and creative modes for you to play around with.

The PLANNED goal over the course of early access and full release is to add more worlds, more tiles, more modes, more customization (such as creating your own tiles) and a more direct focus on giving the players a sandbox to do whatever they want. (With the tools provided of course)”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Please refer to the "About This" section as the details regarding the game and its features are stated there. But to summarise here, right now Polyion is a sandbox world-builder that allows you to play strategically in survival mode or creatively in creative mode in a few different world types.”

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

“The price may increase slightly on full release, but I don't expect it to be that much of an increase.”

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

“I plan to provide consistent social media and steam community posts, as well as polls for new game content as I work through the early access versions.”
