Why Early Access?

“AutoForge has been in development since early 2019 and has repeatedly received community feedback through early builds that has helped shaped the game into what it is today. Early Access is the obvious next step to bringing the game to a wider audience. We will continue to work with the growing community to create the best game we can.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We are looking at being in Early Access for one to two years. We have a good understanding of where we want to take the game but are also listening to the community which may change our plans some.”

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

“While AutoForge is in Early Access we plan to introduce a great deal of more content. Our goal is to expand upon every aspect of AutoForge. This would mean more technologies to research, more factory machines to build, new biomes to explore, additional monsters to fight, an expanded upgrade tree, and much much more. Additionally, we have plans to introduce a few new features, resolve issues, and most importantly incorporate community feedback.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“It is great and getting better every day. AutoForge already has a massive amount of content to enjoy including a huge technology tree, a large world to explore and many machines to build an expansive factory with. There are dozens of hours of gameplay already and more on the way.”

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

“We anticipate there will be a price increase once we leave Early Access but this is something we'll be listening to the community on. If and when there is a price increase we will clearly announce it months in advance.”

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

“We want to involve the community in every way we can. Jasson, the lead developer, streams development on a regular basis. We also have a discord server the developers are heavily involved in. We are always listening to feedback through all channels and will undoubtedly seek out feedback through surveys, experimental builds and other means.”
