Why Early Access?

“We’re a small, dedicated team of developers balancing this project alongside our studies—one of us is even studying rocket science! Despite our limited time, this game has been our passion project for over a year.

Our goal with Early Access is to involve the community in shaping Thaumsmith into the best experience possible. Early Access allows us to gather valuable feedback, fine-tune gameplay mechanics, and expand the content based on what players enjoy most. We're fully committed to working consistently, listening to our community, and seeing this project through to completion.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“While we don’t have a set timeline, we’re committed to working diligently and professionally to deliver a polished experience. We would like to have a full version roughly by 2026.”

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

“The Early Access version contains the core gameplay mechanics and a few hours of story-driven content. For the full version, we plan to add:

Additional Story Chapters: Expanding the main storyline with new chapters, challenges, and lore.
Personal Quests: Unique missions for each hero that reveal their backstories and offer special rewards.
Expanded Crafting System: More recipes for potions, staffs and scrolls!
Enchantment Mechanics: A new system for enhancing potions and gear.
Bug Fixes and Optimizations: Addressing known issues and enhancing performance.
By release, the game will feature a more complete narrative, enriched mechanics, and an overall polished experience.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The Early Access version includes all major game mechanics, such as crafting, hero interactions, inventory management, quests for story progression, orders which heroes give, bundles and more. Players can expect a few hours of story-driven content, along with the ability to create potions and gear using a variety of recipes.

While the game is fully playable and designed with care, there may be some bugs, which we’ll address through regular patches. For a complete list of current features, please refer to the "About This Game" section.”

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

“Nope! The price will remain the same throughout Early Access and after the full release.”
