Miksi Early Access?

Bleak Winter is a larger scope project than we have previously worked on as a team and Early Access provides a fantastic opportunity for us to develop on the title with a larger feedback group. Our aim is to directly consume community feedback and implement changes from our player-base, opening up the possibility of ideas and directions that we may not have otherwise considered.

Miten kauan peli tulee arviolta olemaan Early Access -vaiheessa?

The aim is for Bleak Winter to remain in Early Access for approximately 12 months with frequent updates, though this may change dependent on scope and timelines. We have established a set of goals internally which we aim to have implemented, however this may change dependent on community feedback.

Millä tavoin lopullinen versio tulee eroamaan Early Access -versiosta?

We have set out development goals and milestones through a timeline to be shared publicly before the Early Access launch, and our aim for 1.0 is to release a title which is a thoroughly enjoyable and re-playable survival experience, which the community has assisted in the direction of. Our internal goals are to ensure the game is as bug-free as possible, with all systems as balanced as can be with the addition of a seamless multiplayer experience to create a thoroughly enjoyable solo & multiplayer survival title at a fair and competitive price.

We intend to have the community fully involved in the development process of Bleak Winter, taking into account all feedback to improve and expand on the title with plans to release frequent development logs and timelines for transparency. We will open up Steam Forums for any feedback, good and bad, and remain active on those forums to ensure that we implement and balance accordingly.
