Why Early Access?

“We are an extremely small development team and the ambition of our project outweighs the amount of content we can put out within a small period of time. We also need feedback and users to keep moving forward. We do not wish to sacrifice the ambition and scope of the project and believe Early Access will allow us the get Foreign Body to a state in which we will be happy.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We aim to have the game completed within at least 1 and a half years of entering Early Access. Please do understand though that things in Game Development can change at the drop of a hat, but we will do our best to meet this deadline.”

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

“Most core features and systems will be entering early access in a polished and complete state. This includes a fully fleshed out combat system with multiple weapon types. A complete grid-based inventory system. Fully voiced characters. Two fleshed out enemy types. A realised and graphically complete world as well as a coherent and complete first section to the game’s storyline, playable from start to finish.

Content updates in the future will involve brand new chunks of story, enemies, weapon types, areas as well as fixes and alterations as deemed necessary. The game will be feature complete and will exit Early Access once all story content has been implemented.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“We plan to release the game in intervals as chunks of story content. The game will initially release with the first section developed and more sections will be added over time until the game is story and content complete.

The game will initially release with;
- The first part of Foreign Body's story, fully realised and fleshed out. This includes graphical content, designed and implemented levels (dungeons) and more.
- Two fully fleshed out weapon types.
- Two fully fleshed out enemy types.
- A complete and polished grid-based inventory system.
- A complete and polished combat system.
- Player augments.
- Fully voiced characters and a fleshed-out story.
- A living, breathing city.
- Fully released detailed 3D environments of the first section of Borough 563.

Please view the "About This Game" section for more details.”

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

“The game will initially be released in early access at a much cheaper price. With each major content update the price will be increased. This will reward you, the player, for adopting and supporting us early on in development.”

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

“We take feedback very seriously and read almost every piece of it. We will have avenues setup on release to allow people to email us and report bugs. We are also hoping to implement an internal system in the game itself to report issues also.

A discord will also be created for people to join and converse in. Showing their discoveries, bugs and sharing feedback also.”
