Why Early Access?

“Don’t Die, Collect Loot is an extremely complex game with a massive amount of content and interconnecting systems. As a solo developer, it’s difficult to refine and balance it all without your help! Early Access allows me to learn from your feedback and how you play the game to help perfect these systems for maximum loot-grinding fun.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Approximately a year. It will take some time to add the rest of the content I’d like to see in the game.”

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

“We plan to have a third tileset (The Volcano), more bosses, loot, character classes, and further endgame improvements in the final version. ”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The game is fully playable from start to finish with 3 character classes, including an endgame, The Endless Nightmare, which some early play testers have spent hundreds of hours on. ”

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

“The pricing for the full release has not been finalized. While I have no current plans for a significant change, the price may increase moderately upon the 1.0 launch to reflect additional content and features. ”

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

“While I have a clear vision for what the 1.0 version of Don't Die, Collect Loot will include—such as new bosses, additional character classes, an extra tileset (The Volcano), more loot, and expanded endgame content—refining and balancing it all as a solo developer is a big challenge. That’s where the community comes in!

I want your feedback to help shape the final game. Players can share their thoughts and suggestions through the Steam Community forums and the official Discord and will be able to join discussions in update posts I share along the way. Your input will be invaluable in fine-tuning gameplay, balancing classes, and ensuring new content feels just right.”
