Wozu Early Access?

„We're building Everdream Village to be the kind of place you want to return to, like your favorite bench in the park. But before we hammer in the final nails, we want to make sure it feels just right (so we won't smash our thumbs), and that's where you come in.

Cozy games are about more than just systems and mechanics. They're about the little details that make a world feel like home. Early Access allows us to hear the community and grow the game in the direction they want.

By joining us now, you'll help shape the heart of the game and ensure that it becomes something special, not just for us, but for everyone who wants to escape to a softer, slower world (with cute kittens). Oh, btw. You’ll be able to choose what cat breeds you want to see in the game (please choose Bengalis!)“

Wie lange wird dieses Spiel ungefähr den Early Access-Status haben?

„Between 6 months to a year. The exact timeline will depend on the features and ideas that may come up from the community that we see we’d like to implement.

We want to give you time to explore the game and tell us what works, what needs a little love, and what cozy surprises you'd like to see added. Some suggestions may be small tweaks, others might blossom into major features.“

Wie soll sich die Vollversion von der Early Access-Version unterscheiden?

„Our plans for the full version are to primarily expand on many of the existing systems already in place for Early Access. Based on community feedback and playtesting, we’ll decide which areas require extra attention and care as we grow the game. Of course, we also have our own ideas for how we’d like to potentially see the world evolve.

First off is we’d like to extend the main story into a more expansive adventure that leads you from one discovery to the next. Alongside that, we’d love to add more side stories and smaller adventures to ensure it feels like that is always something around the corner to do, even during your quiet moments of exploration. This will go hand in hand with our plans to also add more explorable islands, along with content for these islands that you’ll uncover while you play.

The intricate system of how and also what exactly influences your relationship with each villager will also be a key focus for us as we see where we can change and improve things. We also want to possibly delve deeper into the various perks that a certain level of friendship with someone grants you and how that then impacts the village as a whole.

We’re also hoping to introduce many more animal species and breeds, both wild and domesticated, to bring even more life to your village and the surrounding areas. In addition, we want to try to add a wider range of furniture and decor items, so you can truly make your cozy village feel like your own.

Throughout the Early Access period, we’ll continue polishing every corner of the game: fixing bugs (except the ones you can catch with a net!), improving performance, and ensuring that every moment feels smoother, brighter, and more joyful to play.“

Was ist der derzeitige Stand der Early Access-Version?

„The Early Access version includes all the core content and features outlined in the 'About This Game' section of the store page, such as farming, terraforming, animal breeding with genetics, relationship, and mood system for villagers, etc. These systems and features are still subject to change and expansion, but are also highly playable as is.“

Wird dieses Spiel während und nach Early Access unterschiedlich viel kosten?

„Yes, the game will be priced differently. We want to reward everyone supporting us at this early stage, so the current price is lower than it will be after we leave Early Access. On top of that, Early Access players will regularly receive special in-game rewards that won’t be available once the full version is released. It’s our way of saying thank you for being part of the journey from the very beginning.“

Wie werden Sie versuchen die Community in den Entwicklungsprozess miteinzubeziehen?

„We’re very eager to include the community’s feedback and ideas during the development of Everdream Village. We are actively participating in discussions on our Discord server, Steam forums, and social media. If you have an idea, suggestion, or just want to share your thoughts, reach out to us! Your input can directly shape the future of the game.“
