Why Early Access?

“Viva is still in active development with our goals to add more: maps, activities, improved AI behaviors/path-finding, and workshop support to distribute characters and clothing.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“At this time, our planned release is set for Q3 2026 with our current development speed. However, as we onboard new development members, this timeline may be shortened.”

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

“Currently we plan to add: multiple maps to explore, more activities you can do with your companion (Ex: sports like tennis / badminton, cooking, riding a bike). We also currently plan to add full workshop support for the full release of the game.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The game currently is playable with one map and a tutorial. Some features included are: the ability to bake cookies with your companion, ride a horse, watch the fireworks, go to the beach, and visit a small town.”

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

“The game is and always will be free. There is no intention to ever change that.”

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

“Our current method with involving the community is through the games discord server where people can report bugs and answer polls on what they would like to see in the game. Our game is also almost completely open source and can be directly contributed to via GitHub.”
