Why Early Access?

“We aim to grow Far Far West alongside the community. When managed well, Early access is a great way to do just that. We’re a very small team of just 6 people, and would like to proceed carefully with our EA release. Early access also allows us time to collect and process your feedback and actively respond to what the community wants. We have also run multiple closed and open playtests for the game and have systems in place to make changes based on the community's feedback.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Currently, we are planning for a 12-month Early Access period.”

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

“We are aiming for the full release to feature more content, enemies, game modes, cosmetics, and weapons. During its early access period, we plan to expand on the existing content, providing more player options and customisability. Releasing into Early Access also allows us to improve the game by making balance changes and modifying the difficulty. Early access will contain the full core loop of the game, as well as multiplayer, character customisation, side missions and more.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The game has already run multiple closed and open playtests, attracting many players who experienced the full core loop of the game, as well as many side objectives and content. The game is well-polished, but there is still more content to come. Including more player progression and other key features that will really make a difference in the long run. See the “About this game” section on our Steam store page for more information about what will be available as part of the Early Access Release.”

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

“Yes. We are planning to add a lot more content between Early Access & 1.0. Therefore, the price will increase to reflect the increase in content the 1.0 launch. We also want to reward the community for playing and supporting the game during its Early Access period. These players will really helps us shape how the final game will look and play.”

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

“Feedback, polls, votes, more feedback, and even more feedback! We have already run multiple closed and open playtests to allow players to give their feedback and have added new content based on their suggestions. We aim to continue this open development approach throughout the Early Access period. Far Far West is planned to grow with its community and be a game that is made by players, for players. We believe that’s the path to making this game the best it can be. The best way players can share their feedback with us is via our Far Far West Discord, linked below.”
