Why Early Access?

“We’re building Artisan Story together with you! Launching in Early Access allows us to refine the game’s core mechanics, from farming and crafting to creature raising, while also shaping the experience based on your feedback.

By joining us now, you’ll be part of the journey as we expand the game with more content, polish, and story. You pay once and get everything: all future updates, improvements, and major additions leading up to full release.

During Early Access, you can expect a solid foundation with farming, crafting, and monster taming systems, along with a small taste of the story. As development continues, we’ll introduce town stories, more relationship content, new creatures, and richer worldbuilding.

Your voice helps guide what Artisan Story becomes. We're excited to grow it together.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We’re expecting to finish our Early Access in a year or less! We don't have the exact date to end our Early Access, but we won’t stop improving the game!”

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

“The full version of Artisan Story will offer a polished, content-rich experience — with expanded gameplay, more storylines, refined mechanics, Steam Achievements, and eventually the true ending.

During Early Access, we’ll release major updates every ~3 months, adding new features and content. Smaller patches will follow to fix issues and refine gameplay.

Our public roadmap will help you track our progress and see what’s coming next!”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Right now in Artisan Story, your main goal is to take care of your farm, raise monsters, earn money, unlock recipes at Kaina’s shop, and build relationships with the townsfolk of Humforte!

The Early Access version starts with a single island, complete with its own unique environment, monsters, and characters. It’s a strong foundation, and the game is still growing — with more islands, stories, features, and polish on the way.

Some UI elements and visual details are still in development, but the core systems are already playable.

Currently available features are:
1. Tutorial Sequence
2. Crafting Mechanics (Forging, Crafting, and Cooking)
3. Farming
4. Ranching (Specific diets not implemented yet)
5. Combat (All 3 weapon types: Sword, Spear, and Heavy Weapons)
6. Taming
7. NPC Interaction and Schedule
8. Fishing
9. Daily Quest”

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

“It depends on how the game evolves during Early Access and what new content we add — but our hope is to keep the same price for both Early Access and the full release!

No matter what, you’ll only need to buy the game once, and all future updates will be included.”
