Why Early Access?

“So far, RuneLight's early access period has been one of self discovery, realizing that my initial vision wasn't fitting and making the adjustments needed to make RuneLight great. Early access has helped motivate me to keep going as well as provided some much needed feedback and bug reports”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“When I first released RuneLight, I planned for a 2024 final release. However, since then, I have decided to majorly rework RuneLight to be much deeper and more enjoyable. As it currently stands, the game is on track for a 2027 Final release”

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

“The full version will have much more content, between 2 and 3 times as much as the 0.4 release
There are also a handful of supplementary mechanics I would like to include not available in the current RuneLight version:
-Swapping and Upgrading your primary attack
-Meta progress unlocks
-Much larger maps to explore
-proper boss fights”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The current state of Early Access is representative of the game's core gameplay and build making, but there are some mechanics I would still like to add and there is much more planned content coming”

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

“After rescoping my game, I chose a price that fit my new vision. As such, the game will see no further price increases.”

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

“I plan to carefully monitor and consider feedback and how it may influence my game, through the Steam discussion boards and any other official channels of communication I create”
