Why Early Access?

“Gather Real-Time Feedback: We’ll use direct player feedback to refine mechanics, balance difficulty, and improve the UI.

Continuous Content Updates: Throughout Early Access, we’ll incrementally add new recipes, production machines, and farm animals to expand the game world.

Performance & Multiplayer Testing: We’ll optimize across a range of hardware and conduct real-world tests for the planned co-op multiplayer mode.

Community-Driven Development: Contributors who share ideas will be credited in our “Special Thanks” section, and top suggestion-makers will receive small in-game rewards.

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Estimated Duration: Around 9 months

Phases:

First 3 Months – Core mechanics, UI polish, performance optimizations.

Middle 3 Months – Addition of new recipes, machines, and farm animals.

Final 3 Months – Co-op mode testing, final balancing, and bug fixes.

Flexibility: Depending on community feedback, we may shorten or extend this period to 6–12 months.”

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

“Enhanced Farm & Animal System: In the full release, we plan to enrich farm management and animal care with deeper, more detailed mechanics.

Additional Machines & Mechanics: We have the option to diversify the production line with new machine types, automation tools, and unique workflows.

Flexibility – Preserve or Update: Depending on player feedback, we can implement these enhancements—or, if the community is already satisfied, carry the game over to full release without any changes.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Basic Animal Progression: Growth and behavior cycles for cows and chickens are implemented.

Farm Products: You can cultivate three types of crops: lettuce, tomato, and wheat.

Leveling System: Players can gain experience and level up from 1 to 10.

Transport Tools: A traditional wheelbarrow and a faster ATV are available for player use.”

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

“Early Access Price: We’ll offer the game at our announced introductory Early Access price.

Post-Release Pricing: After Early Access, we may keep that price unchanged—or, depending on player feedback and added content, implement gradual price adjustments.”

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

“We’ll establish an active “Feedback Hub” on our Steam Discussions page and Discord server where players can directly influence the game’s development:

Feature Suggestions & Voting: Players submit ideas and vote on others’ suggestions. The top three each month will be prioritized in our roadmap.

Bug Reporting & Prioritization: Alongside Steam’s built-in tracker, we’ll have a fast-response bug channel on Discord. Critical issues will be addressed in the order determined by community votes.

Monthly Polls: Short surveys to determine which new machines, animals, or crops the community wants next. Poll results will shape upcoming update scopes.

Beta Test Groups: Major updates will first go to small volunteer groups for real-time testing and feedback.

Live Streams & AMAs: Monthly Twitch/YouTube streams showcasing development progress, with live “Ask Me Anything” segments. Feedback gathered here will feed directly into our next sprints.”
