Why Early Access?

“Early Access is a great option for me for several reasons:

Player Feedback: By allowing players access to the game before its official release, developers can gather valuable feedback on which aspects of the game are working well and which aspects need improvement. This helps polish the game and ensure a higher quality experience when it finally releases.

Community Building: Early Access allows passionate players to participate in the development process. They can suggest ideas, report bugs, and help shape the game to their preferences. This creates an engaged community that will support the game upon its official release.


Agile development:Early access allows developers to test new features and ideas with a real audience, making it easier to make informed decisions about how the game evolves. They can quickly identify and fix problems and adjust the game according to player expectations.

In short, Early Access offers developers the opportunity to improve the game through player feedback, generate revenue to fund development, build an engaged community, and optimize their marketing strategy.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Our plan is for Early Access to last between one and two years, depending on player feedback and the content we choose to add to the game.”

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

“The basic functionality of the game will remain roughly the same.
What we will be adding is a ton of additional content in the form of new biomes, new enemies, new bosses, and new materials to find. We want to expand the crafting system with new crafting stations and more recipes. We also want to add more weapon types and building parts so you can further customize your base. Additionally, we also plan to add more unique locations and events for you to experience in the world of unilife.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Most of the game's planned core features have been implemented. Single player mode is currently the only mod available but I plan to make sure to have multiplayer if funding allows. There are currently several fully developed biomes.. There are hundreds of different items (weapons, materials, armor, etc.) in the game, for the player to find or craft. We have over 200 building pieces and around 50 different creature types, including monsters, animals and bosses.”

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

“No final plans on this, but it's likely the price will increase during the Early Access period.”

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

“We currently use our Discord server as our primary way to talk to our community. Players are invited to suggest new features and changes in the "Suggestions" chat channel. Upcoming changes are discussed openly with the community for rapid feedback. A closed testing group of players has access to the latest versions of the game and works closely with the development team. The testing group evaluates and tests new features and changes before they are released to a public testing branch, available to everyone, and then ultimately to the live version of the game. We will continue to develop this process based on community needs and feedback.”
