Why Early Access?

“Nearly Friendly Tribes is currently in the alpha testing phase, but we believe it has the potential to be a great game with unique and engaging gameplay mechanics. While the current version is playable, there are still some areas that need improvement. We are committed to working closely with our community to gather feedback and make the game even better. We believe that Early Access is the ideal tag to foster this collaboration and ensure that Nearly Friendly Tribes is the best possible game it can be.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Our target release window for Nearly Friendly Tribes is between the third and fourth quarters of 2024.”

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

“We're working on a full version that aims to offer a upgraded experience. This includes potential optimizations to graphics, game mechanics, and animations for characters, weapons, and environments. A key focus for the full release is weapon variety!

In the Early Access version, players share the same weapon pool. However, the full release is planned to introduce a wider range of unique weapons for you to master. This could include powerful new options like a Golden AK47 or a rapid-fire Guitar Weapon. By expanding the arsenal, we hope to cater to more playstyles and give you exciting new ways to conquer the battlefield.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The Early Access version lets you dive straight into the core gameplay experience we're building towards. Get ready for fast-paced, low-poly First Person Shooter action! Choose your tribe from Metal, Pop, Dance, Country, Rap, and Blues, and battle it out in team-based or free-for-all Death Match, Capture The Flag, and Free For All modes.”

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

“Absolutely not, we plan to make the game completely free-to-play throughout its development, including both the Full Release and Early Access phases.”

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

“We cordially invite all players to join our active Discord and/or Telegram communities, where we'll engage in open discussions about past, current, and upcoming game changes throughout the development process. Additionally, we've provided feedback forms for our players to share their valuable input. This feedback will be organized and prioritized to ensure we're developing the best possible game for our community.”
