Coming Soon To Early Access

The developers of this game intend to release as a work in progress, developing with the feedback of players.

What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“Craterlands already has plenty to offer, but there's still room to grow! With a huge world to explore, countless things to craft, and plenty of enemies to battle, Early Access is all about refining the experience. Expect ongoing balancing, bug fixes, multiplayer improvements, and plenty of polishing along the way. Community feedback will play an important role in shaping the game as we work toward the full release!”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We are planning Early Access for up to 1 year.”

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

“The 1.0 version will contain additional regions, quests, town features and items.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Craterlands already offers a wealth of content, including exploration, building, crafting, combat, character progression, and automation. Core gameplay systems are in place, but players can expect ongoing balancing, improvements, and occasional bugs, particularly in multiplayer, as development continues.”

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

“Yes, we plan on releasing the Early Access for a cheap price and increasing the cost once the full version is released.”

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

“Community feedback is an important part of Craterlands' development! We have an active Discord community where players can share ideas, report bugs, suggest improvements, and help shape the game's future. We'll continue working closely with our community throughout Early Access to refine gameplay, improve balance, and make Craterlands the best it can be!”
