Why Early Access?

“Nested Lands has been undergoing development since mid-2023, and our primary goal is to ensure that we enter Early Access with fully established core mechanics. By releasing the game in early access, we aim to gather valuable feedback from players, allowing us to create a well-rounded experience that incorporates both our vision and the suggestions of the players. Moreover, this early access period will enable us to access additional resources and craft the ultimate version of the game.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Providing an exact timeframe is challenging, but tentatively, we anticipate a release within 6 months EA launch. However, we must prioritize the development of a compelling narrative and ensure the game is in excellent condition before concluding the "Early Access" phase. Therefore, the timeline may extend beyond our initial estimate. Moreover, this time is needed to stabilize the cross-platform online COOP (between the PC and Consoles) and pass all the certifications on the console side.”

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

“During the early access period, Nested Lands will regularly receive content updates, including significant story additions that introduce new elements and expand the game's narrative. While the playable portion of the story may be limited during this phase, the final version of the game will seamlessly integrate the complete storyline and full gameplay mechanics. These substantial story updates will also introduce fresh biomes, creatures, resources, and other exciting features to enrich the game's overall experience. Moreover, the game will get 1 additional island and will uncover the story around this island that is needed to complete the overall story. Several new Major NPC characters are also a part of the Early Access stage.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“All the core mechanics have been successfully implemented. However, there is still further refinement needed to enhance the overall content and gameplay experience before the early access launch. We aim to evoke a sense of an abandoned place where peace is a part of suffering, and you are the only hope for the NPCs and the surroundings.”

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

“While a concrete plan has not been established at this time, it is probable that prices will undergo an increase upon the game's official release. We will keep things simple and transparent before and after the release. ”
