Why Early Access?

“Why is Craft Carnage in Early Access?

Craft Carnage is in Early Access because we believe in the power of collaboration with our community of passionate gamers. Early Access allows us to involve players at an early stage of development, providing valuable feedback and insights that will shape the game's future.
