Why Early Access?

“We know this game genre is all about player creativity and player choice, so it makes sense to integrate community feedback into our development to ensure we’re building an adaptable experience supporting different playstyles. While we have our own vision for early access, we’re excited to make a few detours to adjust for community priorities and player needs.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Ideally 2 years. The major and minor features we would like to see in Early Access will realistically require a couple years to roll-out in intervals. Factoring in time to react to community feedback, the roadmap could expand to three years before we release our 1.0 and remove the early access label; however, if we are unable to sustain our time in Early Access at our small studio, we have an alternate route to polish up the existing content and reach our 1.0 sooner.”

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

“We intend to expand the game in multiple areas during Early Access, including character customization, new enemy types, spell upgrades, buildables and craftables. With community support, we hope to roll-out some more major updates that would include map expansion, new biomes, and extend game progression.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The Early Access release version will feature the following content which aims to provide a well-rounded experience offering many hours of replayability:

• A first major biome, present with associated enemies, resources, and recipes across two islands.
  
• Movement modes like Glide and Sprint, various melee weapons and bows
  
• The first tiers of armor, tools, and structures
  
• Most crafting facilities, although they won’t be fully upgradable until later releases.
  
• Inventory system, including backpack, gear slots, equip hot bar, and chests.
  
• Progression guideposts with minimal narrative
  
• Minor challenges and puzzles to earn recipes & upgrades

By December 2022, we had over 4 quality of life patches which brought new decor, creative mode, town centers, skeletons, maces, and many other improvements, and as of June 2025, we've just release our first major update, "Sisters of the Deep," which begins our effort to overhaul the shrine objectives with raids, boss fights, and new legendary rewards.”

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

“Yes. The initial entry price aims to reward early-adopters for taking a risk with our game before it is finished. As we roll-out updates, please anticipate scaled pricing. Of course, we’re also committed to notifying our community and backers in advance of changes to give everyone time to consider the present price.”

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

“Our goal is to balance an integration of community feedback and a commitment to our game vision. As we continue to work towards our final release, we will actively be seeking feedback on the game mechanics and whether they provide the intended value to our players.
