Why Early Access?

“Our previous game, Parkasaurus, launched in Early Access and—thanks to the support of our amazing community—was brought to a full 1.0 release. Now, the two of us are back and would love your help once again to bring Railborn from Early Access to 1.0. Your feedback, ideas, testing, and support mean the world to us!

How to help:

• Wishlist Railborn - free and easy to do! Steam notices!
  
  
• Friends and Family to Wishlist us - send them a quick message right now!
  
  
• Support our Early Access when available - Steam really notices purchases.
  
  
• Support our socials

Thanks!”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We plan to be in Early Access from 1 to 2 years.”

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

“We are targeting for the full version of Railborn to have:

• Ideas suggested by community
  
  
• Multiplayer
  
  
• Complete world consisting of multiple environments
  
  
• A robust technological tree upgrade your train
  
  
• Finished story
  
  
• Meaningful game mechanics that improve as you play deeper in the game
  
  
• Polished and bug free! (mostly)

”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The Early Access version will probably contain a few bugs, crashes, corrupted save files - and maybe even a little frustration! We promise to do our best to avoid these issues, but hey, it's all part of the ride. If you're up for the adventure, we think you'll love being one of the first brave souls to hop aboard Railborn. If you prefer a polished version of the game, please wait for 1.0 release.

The Early Access version of the game will contain:

• Full train track world to travel and explore
  
  
• Multiple environments
  
  
• Train building and management
  
  
• Survival gameplay
  
  
• Save / Load system
  
  
• Technological upgrades to be unlocked

Much more!”

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

“We are determining the launch price and our target price be a fair reflection of what we think the game is worth. The price will increase before the end of Early Access.”

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

“We regularly ask the community what features they are looking for and what aspects of the current game they think should be expanded. We regularly read the Steam forums, our socials, and conversations in Discord to generate ideas. Using these ideas we plan to make updates during development.

For example - we might hear from the Community that they really enjoy our biome system at which point we would likely add more features specific for the biome game mechanic.

We plan to share our Trello board of development with the Community so they can see what we are currently working on and help us decide what features to work on next.

The Community will be the first to beta test pre-Early Access builds and be provided forms to offer their feedback. ”
