Why Early Access?

“We chose Early Access so we can shape the game alongside the Voodoo Fishin' community. While the core loop is complete and playable, we want player feedback to help refine balance, pacing, difficulty, co-op flow, and overall feel.

With EA, we can iterate quickly (we update almost every week), test changes with real players, and focus development on what actually improves the experience as we work toward the full release in the Fall”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We expect the game to remain in Early Access until Spooky Season 2026.

This timeframe allows us to gather player feedback, iterate on core systems, and grow the game at a sustainable pace as we work toward the full release.”

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

“We plan for the full version to expand significantly on the EA experience. This includes adding more fish, monsters, tackle and environments, as well as continuing to refine balance, progression, and encounter design.

Throughout Early Access, we plan to use player feedback to improve pacing, co-op flow, and quality-of-life features, with the goal of delivering a more polished and complete fishing experience at full release.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The EA version is fully playable and includes the complete core gameplay loop. Players can fish, explore the environment, encounter hostile creatures, and play cooperatively from start to finish.

While the foundation of the game is in place, some content and systems will continue to evolve during EA. Players should expect ongoing balance adjustments, performance improvements, and additional content as development continues based on community feedback.”

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

“Yes. We plan to gradually raise the price during Early Access as we add new content and features. Early Access players will receive the game at a lower price as a thank-you for supporting development and helping shape the final experience.”

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

“We plan to involve the Voodoo Fishin' community through Discord and Steam Discussions, using player feedback and discussion to help guide updates and improvements throughout Early Access.”
