What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“We are a small experienced team, who is creating a cooperative indie game. We were inspired by such games as Walking Dead SS, Caliber Zero and Radius. The release of the game in early access is the first step that will allow us to resign from work and devote ourselves to Death Harvest. We care about the dialog with the community and choosing the final direction of the game's development together.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We plan to reach version 1.0 in one and a half or two years. The production time is dependable on the community support and interest in the product. We would like to achieve such sales that would allow us to work full-time on the game development. On interest in the game depends also whether we will continue working to reach version 3.0.”

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

“The main difference between the full version and early access is the scale of the game and the quantity of used mechanics. The most important elements planned for version 1.0 are:
  • further development of fighting with the usage of cool steel,
  • character personalization,
  • character classes,
  • weapon modification,
  • bigger quantity of firearms and white weapons,
  • five scenarios with new maps,
  • small campaign,
  • additional mechanics,
  • character personalization and weapon modification save,
  • multiple types of opponents,
  • additional randomised missions within scenarios,
  • new locations.

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“After a little over a year of production, we can offer a games with such mechanics:
  • realistically replicated ranged weapons,
  • simplified close combat system with the usage of cool steel,
  • one sandbox defense scenario (20 to 60 minutes of gameplay),
  • variable weather conditions and lapse of time,
  • searching for and selling resources,
  • equipment store,
  • mechanics facilitating the defense of the base (mines, exploding barrels, creating barricades).

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

“The price for the game may change, but not by more than 50%. We want to maintain the high quality of the product while keeping an affordable price.”

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

“The main way to communicate with the the team is going to be via Discord:
We have also prepared asurvey for players to help us direct and prioritize aspects of our work.
Access to the non-public beta version will be offered to those who will involved in the development of the product.”
