Why Early Access?

“Early Access allows us to involve players in our game's development journey. By releasing early, we can gather valuable feedback and make improvements based on player experiences, shaping a better game together.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Our Early Access will be about 8-12 months long if everything goes well.”

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

“- More Pets: Expanding the variety of pets players can collect and use in tower defense strategies, with more unique abilities and types.
- Enhanced Biomes and Environments: Adding new biomes and areas accessible, each with distinct challenges and enemies.
- Additional Enemy Types and Bosses: Increasing the range of enemies.
- Add Pet Synergies to reate new strategic combinations and encourage more diverse team builds.
- Refined Mechanics and Balancing: Fine-tuning gameplay elements based on Early Access feedback to create an optimized, balanced experience.
- Expanded Story and Guild Missions: Deepening the storyline and adding new quests for the Guild to explore.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The Early Access version of PetCraft currently offers:

- Core Gameplay: The main tower defense mechanics are fully functional, with pets acting as towers, each with unique elemental abilities and strategic roles.
- Starter Pet Collection: A selection of regular animals like dogs, cats, foxes, and turtles with elemental properties, providing a variety of defense styles.
- Biomes and Exploration: Initial biomes are accessible, with hot air balloon travel between them, allowing players to explore and defend different environments.
- Basic Enemy Waves: Early levels include a range of enemies, allowing players to experience the game's core challenges.
- Initial Guild Missions: Starting quests from the Guild, setting the foundation for the storyline.

The Early Access version provides a solid foundation, with ongoing improvements and expansions based on player feedback.”

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

“Yes, PetCraft is planned to be priced lower during Early Access to reward early supporters and gather more player feedback. As we add more features, pets, and content leading up to the full release, the price will likely increase to reflect the expanded experience and improvements made with community input.”

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

“- Player Feedback Integration: We’ll actively gather feedback through Steam discussions, in-game surveys, and social media, using player suggestions to guide gameplay balancing, new pet abilities, and feature development.
- Regular Updates and Patch Notes: We'll release regular updates with detailed patch notes to keep the community informed on new features, improvements, and fixes.”
