Why Early Access?

“Our survival game is already playable with its core loop: build your shelter by day, scavenge resources by night, and keep your group alive. We’re choosing Early Access to gather player feedback and refine mechanics like crafting, exploration, and survival challenges. Our goal is to polish the experience and add new content based on what the community enjoys, ensuring a deeper, more rewarding game by full release.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We plan for Early Access to last roughly 9-12 months, depending on development progress and player input.”

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

“The Early Access version includes the essentials: a day-night cycle, crafting (tools like crowbars, medicine, and workshops where beds, or other Crafting tables can be crafted), scavenging across a world map, and managing hunger and injuries to survive.

For the full version, we plan to expand with additions like more scavenging locations, new crafting options (e.g., weapons or traps), and deeper interactions with traders or NPCs. While we’ll consider community feedback for potential tweaks, our focus is on increasing variety and replayability while keeping the core survival tension intact.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The game is playable with key mechanics in place:

Build and upgrade your shelter with workshops (e.g., Tools Workshop, Medical Workshop).

Scavenge resources at night across multiple locations, facing risks like hostile survivors or harsh weather.

Craft items like crowbars to unlock loot or defend your group.

Manage your survivors’ needs (hunger, health, skills) to stay alive until help arrives.

Some elements, like additional scavenging levels or fine-tuned balance, are still in progress, and we’re excited to improve them with player suggestions.”

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

“We plan to keep the price affordable during Early Access to welcome early supporters. As we add significant content, like new locations or crafting systems, we may gradually raise the price toward full release to reflect the expanded game.”

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

“We’re focused on building the game according to our vision for a challenging survival experience. That said, we’ll keep an eye on player feedback through Steam forums to see what resonates. If a community-suggested idea - like a new feature or tweak - feels like a good fit, we may incorporate it to enhance the game. We’ll share updates as we go, but our priority is staying true to the core survival gameplay while considering input that aligns with our goals.”
