Why Early Access?

“As an active clicker game with Steam Marketplace rewards, balance for drops is key to maintain a fair economy, which can be improved upon with vast user feedback and testing. We want the Fable Grove Community to help shape the future of the game!”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“5-6 months”

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

“We plan to have over 100 monsters to capture, Steam Leaderboards to track stats, Steam Cloud Saves for convenience, additional zones to explore and find new monsters, special event monster spawns, additional monster movement patterns and boss events.

We plan to launch Era 1, the first generation of the game, where early access and initial players will be rewarded with unique marketplace items if they catch shiny monsters. Eventually as more Eras are released over time, there will be more opportunities for players to catch rare and elusive shiny monsters.

We plan to add Daily and Weekly quests to reward dedicated clickers, and we plan to greatly expand our Steam Achievements available for players to earn,”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Current early access has the main core mechanics - 28 monsters can spawn in various weathers and zones, as well as during day and night in real time. The player can catch these monsters to gain experience. Monsters also have a slim chance to spawn as a shiny, and only appear for a short while. If caught, these shinies grant Steam Marketplace items which represent the shiny monster, meaning players can trade their shinies to complete their shiny collection. The game has many weather types, 3 playable zones and levelling up improves your rate of seeing a shiny! There is a Monster Log menu to see your current progress on what you have caught, and which ones you have caught that are shiny. There are three simple Steam achievements at the moment which will be expanded greatly.”

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

“Always free”

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

“The community will provide feedback on the pacing of the game, as well as shiny spawn chances and monster spawn chances, to ensure we can continue to mould our game into a rewarding experience. We are actively seeking feedback on any aspect of the game, which can be done through Steam Forums or on our Twitter/X @FableGroveGame. We are excited to put this out and see how we can make this an even better chilled gaming experience.”
