Why Early Access?

“I'm choosing to release Planked! Survive & Thrive as an Early Access game because it is in a fun and playable state to be enjoyed. At this moment, Bent Nail is a one person studio, which means changes may take longer than expected from a fully released game. With that being said, expect major updates and patches along the road of early access, enhancing gameplay, optimizing content, and adding more features!”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Planked! Survive & Thrive will be in Early Access until all features are included and work as intended, roughly by August 2023.”

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

“The full version of Planked! Survive & Thrive should include a massive amount of craftable and findable items, and larger maps to adventure.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Refer to the features section”

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

“Yes, I plan to increase the price only when all the features of the game are implemented as intended”

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

“The community will have a strong role in the direction and development of Planked! Survive & Thrive. I plan to utilize all avenues to communicate with players to better the game overall, discover and add new features, and change the game for the better.”
