Why Early Access?

“Naica has been reworked from the ground up in order to make the game more engaging, while offering steady character progression and a developing narrative to expand the world we have created.

We want to use Early Access as an opportunity to build a strong community that will help support the game with their suggestions and gameplay feedback. As an MMO lives and dies by it's community we believe that player feedback is the key to success within this genre.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Ideally the game will be out of Early Access by the end of 2025, we have all the game content planned out for the full release and are confident we will deliver steady updates during our Early Access period.

This can of course be extended depending on the amount and intensity of player feedback, because in the end, we want you guys to have as much fun as possible.”

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

“The full release version will be a more polished experience of what is currently available in Early Access. Our plan is to release frequent updates which are closely connected to player feedback, while also developing and pushing new content when it is ready.

During Early Access we would like to update the game on a bi-weekly basis which would mostly consist of bug fixes and balancing, while preparing a larger update each month with new content for you to enjoy. If an issue arises that requires our immediate attention we will update the game as fast as possible.

We have a lot of features planned, some are already in the works, while others we would like to wait and receive feedback from the community before implementing them.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“A short list regarding the most important features:

• 1 fully implemented class with 3 distinct playstyles - Warrior, with Ranger and Wizard close behind
  
• 4 fully developed zones
  
• More than 50 quests - with emphasis on telling a larger story through multiple zones
  
• Resource gathering skills

We plan to expand upon everything, adding more classes as they are properly balanced, implementing new zones and quests to expand the story as well as features to extend what is already available in the game.”

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

“The game is Free to Play, and it will stay that way. During the Early Access period we will be implementing an in-game shop which will feature what is usually expected of this type of game, but with a focus on respecting EVERYONES time.”

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

“The world of Naica is welcoming, so we would like to extend that feeling towards our community. Apart from active communication from our side, you can expect to be involved in multiple aspects of helping us develop the game, such as:

• Reading and responding to player feedback on communication channels such as Discord, Steam and others
  
• Voting on features which you would like to be implemented
  
• In-game rewards for helping us during this period
  
• Steering the game to a place where most players will enjoy

So please, don't be shy, join us on Discord, post your feedback on the forums and we will make sure your voice is heard! ”
