What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“We would like to release our game on early access because this will be a great way to engage with the community and receive feedback in order to improve the game before the full launch. It will allow players to experience the game in its early stages, providing valuable insights for us to improve gameplay, fix bugs and make various adjustments based on real player experiences.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“The game will be in Early Access approximately six months.”

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

“Primarily, our goal for the Early Access version is to gather feedback from the players and our community in order to determine the areas of the game we should focus on first. While we have lots of features and ideas that we would like to implement first, we feel it's best if we initially focused on what our players enjoyed more and then polish the areas of the game that need to change. Regarding the final version of The Lightless World, we plan on introducing more playable characters and stages, and adding a lot of general quality of life improvements.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The current state of the game is under active development. On the demo, the customer will be able to play two characters (Archdemons), on one playable area and a limited amount of talent tree customisations.”

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

“No.”

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

“Involving the community in our game development process will be highly beneficial.
We will create dedicated forums, Discord server where players can discuss the game, share their ideas, report bugs and offer suggestions.
We will regularly share our progress updates so this can keep the community informed about what is happening.
