What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“Early access is a great opportunity for me to continue improving the game while you can already enjoy it. There is already a lot of content to dive in, and I truly believe that the current state of the game can bring plenty of fun, but I have a lot of plans for it before calling it complete, and I need your feedback to build the best experience possible.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“I'm progressing as fast as possible thanks to solid foundations but be aware that I'm working alone on the game. My current plan is to stay at least two years in early access.”

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

“I'm planning a lot of content updates during early access, including equipment and consumables crafting, colony and dungeon events, more automation capabilities, new dungeons, new quests and lore, new classes, new biomes, mod support... And priority of updates will be based on your feedback.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The game contains all the core colony sim elements with 6 different classes of characters, a lot of game customization options to play the way you want, two complete dungeons, procedural maps, multiple combat abilities and varied enemies. You can retrieve the demo to try the beginning of the game, and you can then continue with the same save on the complete game. But be aware that some parts of the game are still rough and features like heroes equipment are not yet ready and will come later.”

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

“Yes I'm planning to raise the price of the game at some point after adding content, but there's still no exact plan for it and I'll communicate with my community in advance about it.”

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

“The game includes integrated systems to send me feedback and report bugs, I've also setup a Discord server for direct communication, and of course I'll post regular updates and announcements on Steam. The development has always been community driven and bringing the game to early access will strengthen it.”

About This Game

Edge Islands mixes the gameplay of a Colony Sim with Tactical RPG elements like turn-based combats and heroes to level up.

Inspired by classics of the genre but more accessible, manage a team of adventurers landing on a procedural island, and explore dungeons while taking care of their needs, moods, traits and social interactions.

BUILD YOUR COLONY



Gather resources from your environment to build a colony for your heroes and prepare for their adventures. Make them cosy to improve their mood, farm and raise animals to provide food while facing changing weather and seasons. Then, when you are ready, recruit new members and expand until building a massive fortress. You will find many items and customization options to create a unique base!

ENGAGE IN TACTICAL COMBATS



Take part in turn-based tactical combats with your heroes. Use skills learned in the colony and earn XP to level up. Experience fast-paced combats with teams of 4 and based on placement and synergies between units.

EXPLORE & LOOT DUNGEONS



Explore procedural islands with points of interest and resources to improve the colony. Prepare and send groups on expeditions into procedural dungeons to retrieve loot and gold, allowing you to recruit new heroes and unlock new constructions.

TRAIN & MANAGE YOUR HEROES



Prepare your heroes for battle by building training facilities to unlock combat skills based on their classes. Craft them better equipment, potions, and items. But be careful: Training and fighting take time, and they also have other duties to perform for the colony!
And don’t forget to take care of their mood, ambitions and relationships to maximize their combat efficiency.

FEATURES


  • Endless Replayability: Maps, dungeons and heroes are procedurally generated to make every game unique and full of new adventures.
  • Heroes Customization: Personalize your heroes with classes, skills, and items to create unique fighting styles.
  • Management & Combats: A balanced system where you need to build to improve your combat skills, and you need to defeat enemies to unlock new constructions for your colony.
  • Accessible & Deep: Easily build an efficient colony, but don’t hesitate to optimize it thanks to advanced light or temperature propagation systems.
  • Custom Pacing: Progress by defeating dungeon bosses with increasing difficulty, but you can take your time to strengthen your heroes and develop your colony.
  • 3D Graphics: Discover simple yet beautiful 3D graphics combined with advanced lighting and atmospheric effects, which will make you enjoy decorating your base even more!
