Why Early Access?

“As a small indie studio, we are strong believers that community-driven development is a crucial path to follow, we want to shape Survivors of the Dawn in cooperation with our players in order to reach the full potential of the game until 1.0 release. We hope that the Playtests before and throughout Early Access will help us take the right actions to make the game as fun and chaotic as possible, plus it will secure an additional revenue income for sustainable development as we continue to release content updates.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Survivors of the Dawn is planned to release into 1.0 version in 2025. Thanks to all the feedback and support from our continuously growing player base, we hope to finally focus on new projects and be back with bigger games next year.”

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

“The Early Access road to 1.0 version aims to gradually bring along some new features in sequence, such as character diversity, more maps, enemy/boss bio-diversity of different difficulty levels, a variety of weapons & items, core weapon system mechanics, in-map terminals, meta upgrades, more achievements and + a NEW GAME MODE to support the customizable playstyles totally and keep the gameplay as chaotic as possible.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The current version is an excerpt of what we want to do with Survivors of the Dawn.
Here’s what it has to offer right now:

• 6 Characters

”

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

“At the 1.0 release, the price is expected to increase reasonably due to all the content and feature variety that is to be revealed along the way to complete the core development pillars. Obviously, the players who buy the game during Early Access period will not be charged extra and the community will be notified of price changes in advance.”

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

“The community is included in the decision-making process as often as possible up until the last minute of 1.0 release. Players can hop in our Discord server, reach out via our support mail (support@indiegiantgames.com) or by simply posting in the Discussions forum, they can easily submit feedback, report bugs or any issues they encounter. So, we encourage our players to never hesitate to ask questions, suggest new features, and report bugs at any given chance they can. Our end goal is to transform Survivors of the Dawn into a version that we all would want to play eventually.”
