Why Early Access?

“"Sand in a Box" is in Early Access because while fully playable, we are dedicated to refining and expanding the game with community feedback. This approach allows us to integrate your suggestions to enhance gameplay and introduce new features, ensuring the game evolves in ways that players truly desire.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We anticipate "Sand in a Box" will remain in Early Access for approximately six months. During this period, we aim to refine the game mechanics and implement community suggestions, which may involve significant changes to key features. After exiting Early Access, we will continue to develop and update the game, though these updates will be less invasive and primarily focused on enhancing the existing framework.”

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

“We are planning several new features for the full version of 'Sand in a Box':

• Introducing a new video edit mode that includes multi-track recording.
  
• Developing a single-player puzzle mode with multiple levels and objectives.
  
• Implementing improvements based on player suggestions.

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“"Sand in a Box" is fully playable in sandbox mode, where players can utilize two built-in element sets: artistic and physical. The game also supports mods, allowing players to create their own element sets and share them with others through the Steam Workshop.”

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

“The price of "Sand in a Box" may increase as new modes and features are added. During Early Access, players have the opportunity to purchase the game at a lower price, and they will continue to receive all subsequent updates, including the full version, at no additional cost.”

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

“Community support will be crucial in refining simulations and creating new mechanics for 'Sand in a Box'. During Early Access, players will have the opportunity to create new element sets and modify existing ones, directly influencing the game's development. This collaborative approach allows us to integrate real-time feedback and suggestions, ensuring that the community's input shapes the final product. We will use the Steam forums as the main platform for communication between the developers and the community, making it easy for everyone to share their ideas and feedback.”
