Miksi Early Access?

Tinkerlands is a game developed by a small team united by a shared dream of adding new ideas to the survival-adventure genre. We are passionate about building a like-minded community and including its feedback over the course of development. We have many new ideas to include, and we want to ensure they are implemented in a way that is meaningful to our players, we believe that Early Access provides the best environment for this to happen.

Miten kauan peli tulee arviolta olemaan Early Access -vaiheessa?

We are aiming for about a year in Early Access, but we have plans to gather feedback from players to decide on a more definitive timeframe. It's important to us to provide a full and polished product, that both delivers on our promised vision and the enjoyment of Early Access players.

Millä tavoin lopullinen versio tulee eroamaan Early Access -versiosta?

For now, we aim for:

• Major content expansions: One to three major islands with new biomes, including the final biome, along with additional minor islands.
  
• New gameplay systems: Additional mechanics beyond what is introduced in Early Access.
  
• Endgame content: The final boss, cutscenes, and full story progression.
  
• Expanded crafting & exploration: More resources, decorations, crafting, and cooking recipes.
  
• Expanded NPC interactions: A full NPC rework, allowing NPCs to assist players by performing tasks, aiding in combat, and offering deeper interactions.
  
• Localization: Additional language support based on demand from Early Access players.

The list might be prolonged depending on the feedback we get during the Early Access release.

Miten yhteisö otetaan mukaan kehitysprosessiin?

We are a small team, and we’ve already worked closely with the community during the game’s demo phase to find and fix bugs while improving Tinkerlands based on player feedback. Community involvement remains essential to us - we will actively listen to our growing player base, ensuring that the game evolves in a way that aligns with both our vision and the expectations of our community.
