Why Early Access?

“All core systems and mechanics are in place and the game guarantees you an interesting, sometimes unintentionally funny and occasionally spooky time.

My goal with releasing the game in Early Access is to be able to polish and balance the existing content —hopefully with the help from your feedback to be able to shape the game into something truly special.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“A year. This could change depending on economical circumstances and I will be very open around how the project is moving forward.”

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

“I want playing Demining to feel like anything could happen at any moment, almost to the point of comical bizarreness.
I believe I've gotten quite far in this regard already but there's still so much I want to add both in terms of new systems and adding more variety to the existing ones. This includes more enemies, weather hazards, disarming-puzzles, etc.

Also, the lore for the game is still being written and the full game will offer the full story with zones updated to suit that story accordingly. (Some zones are being visually changed and some will require new mechanics yet to be added).

To summarize, the vision for the full version is a polished, highly unpredictable disarming horror party-game with an alternative deeper story and progression for those who wants to get as much out of the game as possible.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“

• The game in its current state can be played with 1-4 players with difficulty scaling accordingly.
  
• You can unlock and progress through 5 different zones filled with mines to disarm and secrets for you to unearth. If your unit gets deep enough into the progression against all odds, you can complete the game.
  
• A market is in place where you can choose between 8 different camp upgrades or 8 different consumables to ease your day.
  
• 9 Different threats can and will hunt your unit while you're demining, and a perilous weather system is in place to make the experience even more chaotic and unpredictable.
  
• Beneath the surface, lies a randomized system of ruins that shifts on a daily basis and can be unearthed and looted to boost your units income at a risk.
  
• You may encounter a few bugs or random visual inconsistencies but nothing game breaking.
  
• There is enough content to give you a real sense of the game's direction and hopefully many fun moments.

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

“No.”
