Why Early Access?

“The game currently features a healthy amount of content, and is playable and fun. However, as time goes on, I plan to expand on the game's story, monsters, and features, while utilizing player feedback to help guide further development. There are lots of ideas I have for Blue Ridge Hunting that aren't core to the game's experience, but I would still like to implement them. Your feedback will directly influence which content is expanded upon, and in what ways.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Likely for about a year, as new content is added and fleshed out. However, it's possible this will change depending on player feedback and my plans for new features.”

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

“The full version of Blue Ridge Hunting is planned to feature a complete story in the campaign mode, with many more monsters, characters, items, and locations. Any present bugs are planned to be ironed out for a smoother experience. Additional game modes with higher difficulty for more experienced players are also planned. Player feedback will directly influence these planned features, and will be solicited from players to help guide development.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Currently, about a third of all planned monsters, items, and locations are available in the game. The story/campaign mode contains the prologue and first act. Freeplay mode is available, and includes all monsters found in the campaign mode, plus a couple extras.”

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

“No, I plan to keep the price the same.”

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

“I very much want to hear about player's experiences with the game. Your feedback will directly guide development moving forward. The Blue Ridge Hunting Discord server is the main location which feedback will be solicited from. Suggestions for new items, monsters, locations, etc. will all be considered.”
