Varför Early Access?

“Since 2012, Klei has used Early Access as part of our process to gather feedback and develop in collaboration with players, producing games like Don’t Starve Together, Oxygen Not Included, Invisible, Inc., Hot Lava, and Griftlands.

By releasing this game in Early Access, we hope to continue to grow our community and get more people involved in its development.”

Ungefär hur länge kommer det här spelet att vara i Early Access?

“We still have a lot more in store for Rotwood, and we plan to continue growing and updating the game throughout 2024 and into 2025. Our Early Access periods generally last from one to two years.”

Hur är det tänkt att den fullständiga versionen ska skilja sig från versionen i Early Access?

“The plan for the full version of Rotwood is to add more Bosses, Weapons, Armor, Biomes, and customization options. The game has most major features in place and we expect that most of development time will be focused on additional content and complementary systems.


Toward the end of Early Access, we will focus on additional quality-of-life and fine-tuning to prepare for launch.

Mod support and language options are also very important to us, so we expect to have workshop support and additional supported languages by launch or shortly after that.”

Hur är det nuvarande läget i versionen med Early Access?

“The Early Access version of Rotwood releases with 4 Biomes each including unique final Boss and Mini-boss encounters.

Players can select from 4 major weapon classes, each with their own unique fighting style. As players progress through the Rotwood, they will unlock new weapon variations, armor, powers, biomes, and various customization options for their character and their town.

Combat in Rotwood is designed to be deep and rewarding, with a high skill ceiling. Mastering each weapon class, armor, power ups, biomes and 4 levels of difficulty per biome, we expect the Early Access version of the game to provide anywhere from 10-25 hours of gameplay. Completionists may find they spend many more to take on Rotwood's toughest challenges.”

Kommer spelet att prissättas annorlunda under och efter Early Access?

“Yes, the price of Rotwood will increase in steps during the Early Access period, as well as when the game officially launches out of Early Access.

Initially, the price has been set for the current content and playtime available in Early Access. As we continue to add value to the game throughout Early Access, we will be incrementally raising the base price at key milestones.

We want to ensure players who support the game early on get the best value, while also fairly reflecting the increased scope and content as development progresses. Rest assured we will provide ample advance notice before any price increases take effect.”
