What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“Distant Garden is being developed by a very small group of people, and we are here to receive feedback along the way as we develop what we believe is an interesting vision of a game.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“TBD”

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

“The early access game in its current state is a mostly fully-featured sandbox with infinite procedural terrain, a breathtaking original score, savable single-player worlds, and survival elements. Features planned but not yet implemented include accessing other planets via a build-able space-ship, an overhauled combat system with both melee weapons and projectiles, and in-game proximity voice chat to talk with friends.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Players can build and explore beautiful terrain, a day/night cycle, and RGB lighting, all while avoiding visions.”

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

“The game will remain free.”

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

“My email is jack@netbug.us, I will happily accept any feature requests, complaints, or bug reports.”
