Miksi Early Access?

CRUFT started out mainly as a toy. To make it a great experience it needs player input and time. Early access allows us access to players and time. It is the perfect opportunity to build and refine the game.

Miten kauan peli tulee arviolta olemaan Early Access -vaiheessa?

We plan to stay in Early Access for roughly 3-6 months. Enough time to accommodate player feedback and ideas, as well as add more content.

Millä tavoin lopullinen versio tulee eroamaan Early Access -versiosta?

CRUFT needs more work on character narrative, customizability, and reasons to come back and play again and again. Right now it is mostly a sandbox experience. We'd like round out the game and give players some cool things to strive for (and be rewarded for!).

Mikä on Early Access -version tila tällä hetkellä?

Many of the pieces are in place, but large amounts of content take time and effort. You can craft. You can buy and sell items. NPCs have unique shops that change over time allowing you to buy and sell items. You can lay out your yard however you like. You can unlock more space to build and craft as you level up.

CRUFT needs more content and some beacons for players to follow if they like.

Muuttuuko pelin hinta Early Access -vaiheen jälkeen?

Doubtful, but that depends on where Early Access goes. We do not plan to increase the price as we add features. We don't want to be in Early Access perpetually.

Miten yhteisö otetaan mukaan kehitysprosessiin?

We are craving feedback on the core of the game and where players would like to see it go.

We have a discord dedicated to receiving and talking through community input. There's a link right there in the options menu of the game. Jump on the discord, share your thoughts, discuss features with other players and the dev, share screenshots of your yard, and have a good time.

If you're tired of adding discord channels, the Community Hub here on Steam is a great way to stay in touch and share your thoughts on the game as well.
