Why Early Access?

“MIND AGAINST NATURE is a systems-heavy survival game with a lot of moving parts—tribes, tech trees, fire propagation, AI learning, and more. We’re releasing in Early Access so players can start experimenting with the sandbox early, help us break things, and tell us what they love (or hate). The goal is to shape the game’s evolution alongside the community. Your feedback helps us balance systems, discover edge cases, and prioritize what features to expand on next.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We plan to remain in Early Access for at least a year, but this could change based on the feedback we receive and the complexity of the systems we build out. Our goal is not to rush toward “finished,” but to evolve the game into something genuinely unique and deeply replayable.”

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

“The full version of the game is expected to expand significantly in terms of depth and variety. We plan to include:

Additional biomes and environmental hazards

More technologies spanning a longer timeline

Improved and more reactive AI tribe behavior

Trading, raiding, and diplomacy between tribes
A deeper world simulation, including weather and natural disasters

Secrets and lore tied to an ancient civilization that predates the player’s tribe

Basically, more systems, more emergent chaos, and more surprises. The foundation is there—we want to build upward, outward, and deeper.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“A fully playable sandbox environment
Procedural world generation
A foundational tech tree with stone tools, fire, farming, and early metallurgy
Core crafting, harvesting, and survival mechanics
Basic AI creatures.”

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

“Yes. We plan to increase the price over time as new features are added and the game becomes more complete. Early Access players will get the game at a lower price and be part of shaping its future.”

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

“We’ll be listening closely via the Steam forums and X. Community feedback will help shape everything from UI improvements to tech tree additions to how tribes behave. We’ll also be doing regular updates on X, including polls to let players weigh in on new systems and direction.”
