Why Early Access?

“The Emberforge realizes that Orebound is an epic task. We want to continue to hammer the games development anvil into new areas and that will take significant time. We want players to play the game as it is already a great experience that we would love fellow dwarves to enjoy. We feel Early Access is a great fit for Orebound as we want to add more over time and go on the journey with our community. We believe by balancing our development and including our community along the way we can create an amazing experience.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We predict we shall hammer the anvil of development for at least a year and then start the process of getting the game to it's full release.”

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

“We plan to add many new features during the course of our digital anviling. We plan to add multiplayer and that will need to be heated and cooled, turned and hammered for some time. We are also planning to anvil into existence many features that help dwarves mine fight and collect, more enemies to fight and claim as your prize, vehicles to help traverse the landscape and tools to help craft.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Currently our fellow dwarves can play Orebound for as long as they like. The game is an infinitely generated experience that will allow players to build, fight, manufacture, craft and fight their way to victory!”

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

“We will be gradually raising the price as we add more to the game and we plan to increase the price when we finish the game.”

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

“We are going to give them the hammer! Give them the forge! They shall tell us how to mould their experience into a godlike memory of dwarven glory. We shall prioritise creating features based on their wisdom and their guidance. We want to allow the community to provide us feedback on their most requested features and most important changes. We want to heavily include the communities feedback and add what they want into the game!”
