Why Early Access?

“KOTA: The Survival is a systems-driven survival game where robots must gather resources, rebuild a fallen world, and explore a harsh environment shaped by past disasters. Because the game relies heavily on player-driven creativity — such as crafting, building, recycling, and exploration — early community feedback is extremely valuable.

We want to shape the game together with players and ensure that core systems such as base building, resource management, combat, and world progression feel meaningful, polished, and fun before reaching a full release.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Our goal is to keep the game in Early Access until we are confident that the core gameplay experience is complete and stable.
We are not ready to give a fixed date or guarantee a timeline, but we plan to update the game regularly as development progresses.”

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

“The full version is planned to expand on the foundations built during Early Access.
We plan to:

Add more areas to explore and expand the world.

Introduce additional enemies, creatures, and environmental challenges.

Increase the variety of crafting, recycling, and building options.

Improve AI behaviors, survival mechanics, and combat balance.

Enhance performance and overall game stability.

Add new story elements, events, and environmental lore.

Expand customization, automation, and progression systems.

These are our goals, but we may adjust priorities based on community feedback.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The Early Access version includes the core gameplay loops of KOTA: The Survival:

Exploration, gathering, and survival mechanics

Crafting and recycling systems

Base building and structure placement

Early versions of combat and enemy encounters

A partially explorable world

Basic progression and early-game content

The game is fully playable, but we expect bugs, balancing issues, and missing features while we continue development.”

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

“We may adjust the price over time as more content and features are added.
Our current plan is to keep the Early Access price lower to reflect the ongoing development state, and potentially increase it later as the game grows in scope and quality.”

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

“Community feedback is essential for shaping KOTA: The Survival.
We plan to:

Gather player suggestions through Steam discussions, Discord, and in-game feedback forms

Share development updates, patch notes, and roadmaps

Test new features together with the community

Adjust balance, progression, and gameplay systems based on player experiences

We want players to feel directly involved in the evolution of the game.”
