Why Early Access?

“We're looking to dive straight into Pre-Alpha development of our game, with a playable version around the corner as we work to readd the previous features of our previous versions. Our commitment is to quality and fun gameplay and we simply won't settle for less. Early access will allow us to toybox with how long it'll take us to make the most fun-to-play version of Scarebox we can”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Our game will remain in early access for most likely another year or two, we're aiming for a 2024 public release year. However, we may or may not release it earlier depending on how smoothly development goes”

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

“Overall, we want Scarebox to be a game all about creating horror experiences, while also being open-ended to allow for user generated content like worlds, mods, texture packs, and more to customize Scarebox to be the way you like to play it!”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“We're switching engines from Java to Unity Engine / C#. We're early in the stages of rewriting Scarebox in Unity so the state of the game is mostly just menus and basic geometry and textures with our player character as we continue working on readding all of the features of the old builds with finer details and more polish”

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

“We gradually plan to increase the price for Scarebox once we move out of early access”

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

“The community has always and will always be important to the development of the game. We listen to the community always when it comes to making important changes about content within the game. Our game will also center around the Steam Workshop and community made content, since we want the player to feel in control of the sandbox. The best place to find us would be on Discord or Twitter”
