Why Early Access?

“In order to gain feedback from players and improve the overall experience. Working in a vacuum kills motivation, and often makes the end product worse if it even finishes development. Early access enables me to develop with shorter term goals in mind, pushing out new builds to the public so I can iterate with their responses.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“About three years. Keep in mind that this game is being developed part-time, and I need to have a day job to make ends meet. Your patience is much appreciated.”

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

“On the first Early Access release there will be at least 1 major area, 2 weapons, 5 enemy types, and 1 boss.
By the end of development there will be 5 major areas to explore. Each location has a plethora of items to find, missions and tasks to complete, enemies to defeat, and lots of abilities to unlock. Expect 7-10 hours of gameplay when the game is content complete.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The first release will contains one major area, and several sub areas that make up The Desert. Many of the core systems are developed, and I am creating content for those systems.”

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

“As the game updates, and more areas are introduced, the price will increase proportional to the current value of the content. This ensures that at worst, you are getting your money's worth on day 1, and at best, you're the game at a great price.”

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

“I will utilize and monitor various locations such as the game's Discord or the Steam Forums to gain insight into how people are playing and what does/doesn't work. Criticisms, and praises are a very important part of my creative and development process.”
