Miksi 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.

Miten kauan peli tulee arviolta olemaan Early Access -vaiheessa?

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.

Millä tavoin lopullinen versio tulee eroamaan Early Access -versiosta?

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.

Mikä on Early Access -version tila tällä hetkellä?

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.

Muuttuuko pelin hinta Early Access -vaiheen jälkeen?

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.
