Why Early Access?

“We want to involve players directly in shaping Echoes of Elysium. Early Access allows us to test and refine gameplay systems, airship mechanics, survival balance, and world-building with real community feedback. As a small team, we value iteration alongside our players to ensure the game develops in a way that’s both fun and stable.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We expect Echoes of Elysium to remain in Early Access for around 12-16 months. This is only an estimate and may change depending on development progress and community feedback.”

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

“We plan for the full version to expand the game beyond the initial region included in Early Access. Our goal is to add additional biomes with new resources, recipes, and higher-tier airship components, along with more narrative content and endgame features. However, the scope and exact features may evolve during development based on player feedback.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The core systems and mechanics of Echoes of Elysium are already in place and serve as the foundation for ongoing development. The Early Access version lets players explore one large region of the world, made up of procedurally generated islands. Within this area, players can progress through crafting and combat to unlock Tier 2 weapons, tools, and airship components, culminating in a boss encounter.

Light narrative elements introduce the world and guide players through their journey. The game also supports up to six-player co-op, allowing groups to survive and thrive together.

All core systems are functional, and the current content provides a complete gameplay loop through the first stage of progression.

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

“We plan to increase the price when the full version is released.”

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

“We actively gather player feedback through the Steam forums and our official Discord server. We also use surveys and community events to help shape development priorities. Players will have opportunities to participate in playtests and vote on features, ensuring their voices help guide the game’s evolution.”
