Why Early Access?

“We are launching as a prologue with new features like fully supported co-op still in development. The early access title will only feature 3 levels presented as the prologue to the game, but we plan on releasing level packs in the future unlocking new areas and allowing for new exploration. Once we have finished all the level packs we will be moving the game from early access to fully released.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“6 months - 1 year”

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

“The full version of Lana Longbeard and The Golden Stacks plans on expanding upon the prologue, with hopes continuing the story set up with many harrowing twists and turns featuring all your favorite characters from the TV series.

We plan on creating more levels, more quests and an epic story that will all be added as the game development continues to the full release.

Intended Features to Come:
Fully playable 2 Player Co-op.
More than a dozen levels feature unique quests.
More playable characters including the Mighty Windbreaker Crew and even some foes.
A fully fledges wacky story spanning the world of the TV series willed with humour and heart.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The early access version is the prologue to the story of the game. Players get a hint at what will be expanded on in the full release. This prologue features the introduction to the plot of the game as well as an opportunity to explore the famous Weymouth Harbour, the ocean aboard the Mighty Windbreaker, a platforming heavy catacombs, and a boss fight.

Features:
A vast open ocean of quirky and unique locations to sail around in.
A non-linear questline featuring multiple tasks including defeating enemies, collecting fruit, and curing blindness!
A dark and dangerous catacomb to platform through.
A harrowing boss fight with a massive and daunting Spider Queen!”

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

“Yes, early access offers the prologue and any upcoming level packs at a low price but the full release will be at a higher price point. If you buy into the early access price point you will be given full access to all levels once it releases fully!”
