Why Early Access?

“Tour de Farm is releasing first in Early Access because this is our small team's first video game and Early Access will give us an opportunity to get valuable feedback from players and improve the game based on that feedback. Early Access allows us to get the game out to players sooner, and learn from that experience, so that the full release of Tour de Farm will be best version of the game!”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“It is estimated that Tour de Farm will be in Early Access for between 9-12 months, as we work to improve the game, fix any bugs, add more fun content, and fully polish existing content. ”

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

“Tour de Farm in Early Access will include the core game content and most of the game modes we want to include, but the Early Access game won't have all the features we want to add to Tour de Farm.

Tour de Farm in full release is intended and planned to include extra content and features such as: Steam Achievements, Global Online Leaderboards, additional vehicles as well as extensive bug fixing, game balancing, optimization and polish.
”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The Early Access release of Tour De Farm is a fully playable racing car game, with multiple race tracks and driving game levels, including a racing campaign storyline that takes the player from Cook's Farm and out into the surrounding countryside of the Snoqualmie valley.

While the Early Access version of Tour de Farm may be missing features we intend to add later and you may find some bugs, it will still offer between 5-8 hours of awesome racing and fun exploration gameplay. ”

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

“Yes. It is expected that the price of Tour de Farm will increase by 20% upon the full release of the game. This price increase represents the additional value and content we will add to the game for Full Release.

All updates to the game during Early Access will be delivered at no additional cost.
