What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“The Early Access will be a complete playable game but Craterlands is a massive open world sandbox so it will take additional time to implement all the regions and fully iterate upon the core features. We wish to get additional feedback from the Community for shaping the final product as well.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We are planning Early Access for 1 year.”

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

“The 1.0 version will contain additional regions, quests and town features.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The game will be fully playable from beginning to end and thoroughly play tested. Multiplayer will be included as well but may need to be refined once we get a larger player base.”

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

“Yes, we plan on releasing the Early Access for a cheap price and increasing the cost slightly once new features are implemented.”

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

“Users on our Discord can give feedback and suggestions of features and areas they want to see in the game.”
