Why Early Access?

“Never Grave is our first 2D action game. Unlike most platformers, it has an enemy possession system, base building and multiplayer. We believe that player feedback is essential in order to combine these elements successfully and provide a fresh gaming experience to the Metroidvania x Roguelite genre.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“For Never Grave the EA period will last for at least six months, but the exact end date is yet to be determined. During this period, the complex Metroidvania / Roguelite / Possession System / Base Building / Multiplayer elements will need to be improved in quality from both a technical and design perspective. There are also plans to publish a regular update plan after the start of Early Access.”

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

“The full version of Never Grave will include:
- Additional monsters that can be possessed
- Additional stages
- Additional bosses
- Additional skills, items, equipment and artefacts
- Additional buildable objects
- Fixes for bugs that occurred during early access.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Currently we are in the process of developing the first dungeon and implementing the associated enemies, growth elements, skills and items.
In addition, when the early access version is released, the game will have feature:
- Over 100 combinations of randomly generated dungeons
- Over 20 skills and items
- Over 30 "traits" that change the performance of skills and items
- Over 15 "blessings", or buffing effects, that change the style of play
- Several artefacts give players permanent special actions
- A player growth system through building facilities in the village.”

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

“There are no plans at this stage, but the price may increase slightly as more content is added. Any price changes will be discussed with players and carefully considered.”

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

“We will actively accept and consider feedback and ideas from our players via the Steam Community Hub, Twitter and Discord. Based on the feedback we receive, we will continue to improve the balance and features of the game. We will also maintain communication with the community by regularly publishing information on development status and updates. This will allow players to participate in the development process and keep track of the game's development status.”
