Why Early Access?

“The game is still in early development with a long way to go until it's finished. However, it does have enough content to be played and see the idea of what it will be. There is still no story to play through and several areas still need to be added. I'm also still fixing bugs/glitches as they come up and adding/removing/changing things. The game is still changing and evolving based on feedback and the goals that I set for myself.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Hard to say, as I'm a solo developer/creator, I've already been working on the game since around 2023. It will probably be 3 years before it's out of Early Access. I would consider it out of early access when the current map area is completed, there's a beginning and end, fleshed out mechanics, and minimal bugs.”

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

“The full release would feature more content in terms of quests, story, areas to explore, custom assets, items, some more companions, and a few more classes. The out of early access version would only be a small percent of what the full completed game would be. ”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“I think the game is still in an early alpha state where the core mechanics and ideas are present but are still subject to change. Compared to what I'd like the full game to be, the current version may only be 1-2% complete. You can see a more detailed list of current features in the "About This" section on this game page.”

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

“The price will change when there is enough of a game worth charging for and when there is a full experience that can be had. The first point when I would start charging is when the current area, Aquanis, is complete, or at least mostly. After that it would be a low price that would gradually increase as the scope of the game content increased. ”

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

“I always respond to feedback for my game and consider all recommendations and features given. All the bugs and errors that the players come across and report are fixed as they come up. This game isn't just being made for me, it's made for the players, so if there is something that needs to be fixed/added/changed to make the game more enjoyable for them, I want to know.
If you would like to contribute in some way by providing feedback, listing bugs, recommending features, or providing a more specialized contribution through your work, the quickest way to get in contact with me is through Discord or the Steam Forums. ”
