Why Early Access?

“As a solo developer, I chose Early Access to incorporate player feedback and ideas into the final game. Cloud Keeper could not have gotten to its current state without valuable input from players and I hope to continue working with the community.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“While the exact timeline will depend on player feedback, the current roadmap is to be in Early Access for about 6 months.”

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

“I plan to expand the game with additional content, including additional characters to play, cloud companion types, relics, shrine visitors, maps, enemy mobs, and bosses. I also plan to convey the underlying background story for the player to discover through interactions with various characters across runs. I further expect to fix bugs and to add quality-of-life improvements based on player feedback.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The Early Access version is fully playable with 12 available characters with unique abilities, 16 cloud companion types, 98 relics, 18 shrine visitors, 15 different mob enemies, 4 biomes, and 4 bosses.”

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

“The price may increase when leaving Early Access depending on how much content and features are added.”

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

“Players are welcome to share feedback, bug reports, and discussions in Steam Community or on Discord. I wish to hear and consider all input to make the game better throughout development.”
