Why Early Access?

“Life Core is launching in Early Access with a solid foundation of gameplay mechanics and content. Early Access allows us to refine the experience by gathering feedback from a wider audience, balancing mechanics, and expanding the game in meaningful ways. With player insights, we aim to shape Life Core into the best version it can be.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We plan for Life Core to remain in Early Access for at least 6 months to 1.5 years. However, this timeline may change depending on development progress and community feedback.”

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

“Throughout Early Access, we aim to expand Life Core’s content, creating a richer, more balanced, and highly replayable experience.

• Additional planets and diverse biomes
  
• A wider variety of Power Core Energy upgrades
  
• More enemies and unique bosses
  
• Deeper rogue-lite progression mechanics
  
• Visual, animation, and performance improvements

”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Life Core's core gameplay loop and mechanics are functional and ready to play. Players can explore planets, battle enemies, and utilize Power Core Energy upgrades to enhance their abilities.

Current features:

• 1 planet and boss
  
• 25+ Power Core Energy upgrades
  
• Fully playable combat mechanics
  
• Placeholder UI elements
  
• Basic visual models, effects, and animations
  
• Rogue-lite progression and respawn system

”

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

“We do not plan to change the game's price during the Early Access period. However, with the addition of new content and improvements in the full release, we expect to adjust the game's final price. This means that players who join during Early Access will gain access to both the current content and future updates at a more advantageous price.”

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

“Community feedback will play a key role in shaping Life Core. During Early Access, we will:

• Actively monitor player feedback on Steam forums, Discord, and social media
  
• Evaluate community suggestions regarding gameplay mechanics and balance adjustments
  
• Share regular development updates and roadmaps
  
• Our goal is to create the best possible experience with the help of our players!
