Why Early Access?

“The game has a main flow already implemented and most bugs fixed, but there are things I would like to include before considering it finished; besides, early access is an extra opportunity for visibility and feedback to improve the final version of the game.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Ideally 6 months, but even if development extends, it won't be more than a year.”

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

“The final version will likely have a balance and improvement in the time passage system (events, seasons, lifespans, etc.), as well as in procedural generation.

Graphics and sounds will hardly change, but perhaps more animations, particles, interface tweaks, and overall effects will be added following the same retro-minimalist style.

A "classic" dungeon-style gameplay mode that shouldn't be too difficult to implement is being considered, as well as a small online section to share the world of a game; however, both inclusions will be confirmed as development progresses.

All of the above implies some extra content in terms of monsters, items, settlements, achievements, etc.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“All the main features are implemented so that the game can be enjoyed and completed (finishing a game and seeing the credits takes about 30-40 minutes). It's possible to create, load, and delete as many games as you want, and there's also an "encyclopedia" to make progress between games (completable in about 10 games).”

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

“The price will not change throughout the entire early access period, but it's possible that it may increase slightly in the final version if the total content and feedback warrant it.”

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

“I'll be open to listening to feedback regarding the overall balance of the game, while also paying attention to any reported bugs. I'm also very interested in suggestions from those who play a lot regarding enemies, items, game pace, sandbox aspect, replayability, narrative, and late game.”
