Why Early Access?

“Nimbit Frontier is being developed by a wife-and-husband team. Being small gives us the freedom to involve the community early in the process, and that’s something we’re really excited about. The game will have already had plenty of testing by early supporters well before Early Access launch. We plan to release in Early Access and actively incorporate player feedback into updates as we work toward version 1.0.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We are expecting to stay in early access for 1.5 years after early access launch following our roadmap. We will only transition into 1.0 when we full confident in the quality and content of the game.”

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

“We plan on expanding the core features and unlock future progression. We will also focus on what the community wants. The early access is expected to launch with around 20 hours of content. The 1.0 version is likely to have around 10-15 additional hours of content, including:

• League level cap to 100, along with unlocking Master rank
  
• One additional biome along with 15 more species of Nimbits
  
• Legendary Nimbits
  
• Further development of League progression and lore
  
• More sanctuary rewards that allows you to build/procure new items
  
• Townsfolk up to max hearts along with more cutscenes
  
• Dates with romanceable characters
  
• Marriage with romanceable characters
  
• Town festivals
  
• More lines of dialog to bolster the NPCs' identities
  
• More artifacts to find in the Underwild
  
• Additional music scores

Please keep in mind that the list is subject to change based on the community feedback as players experience the game throughout Early Access.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The Early Access initial release is expected to have around 20 hours of core content. This includes 3 biomes each with its own unique set of species of Nimbits, 24 townsfolk up to 5 hearts, and League progression up to level 60. You will be able to play the game up to content cap and continue playing. However, the game will stop progressing. Completed features will include fishing, museum, and farming. You can already work towards a relationship with romanceable characters, but dating and marriage will not be available yet.”

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

“We plan on a price increase upon exiting Early Access.”

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

“We will be monitoring community feedback, interacting directly with the community, and inform the players if feedback has the roadmap in announcements.

This will take the form of communication in Discord, Steam announcements, Steam Discussions, and the two of us reviewing player gameplay videos. Discord will be the most direct and effective way to communicate with us during development. You'll be able to share with us your feedback and media directly with us.”
