Miksi Early Access?

The game thrives on creativity and experimentation, so we want the community to directly influence the content we add next — new biomes, items, NPCs, or unexpected twists!
We're also building a game that aims to bring together experienced deckbuilder players and those who simply enjoy a relaxed hike in the mountains. Early Access gives us the opportunity to balance both sides and ensure that each run feels rewarding no matter your playstyle.

Miten kauan peli tulee arviolta olemaan Early Access -vaiheessa?

Our current plan is to remain in Early Access for 8 to 12 months.
The timeline may shift depending on feedback and the scope of improvements requested.

Millä tavoin lopullinen versio tulee eroamaan Early Access -versiosta?

Our current roadmap includes new biomes, additional enemy types, more items and new bags, and new NPCs that enrich both the adventure and the village experience.
We also aim to refine the narrative layer, and add QoL improvements that make each run smoother and more satisfying.
As the community shares ideas and feedback, we expect to integrate a variety of player-inspired content as well, whether that means fresh items, new challenges, or entirely new regions to explore.

Mikä on Early Access -version tila tällä hetkellä?

The Early Access build contains the complete core gameplay loop:
exploration, backpack management, challenges, lots of items, and village interactions.

Muuttuuko pelin hinta Early Access -vaiheen jälkeen?

Yes. We plan to offer the Early Access version at a lower price to thank early supporters. The price will increase as new content and systems are added.

Miten yhteisö otetaan mukaan kehitysprosessiin?

Community feedback is essential to shaping Barda. We’ll gather input through:
- Discussions and suggestions on the Steam forums and Discord
- Regular devlogs outlining current work and upcoming updates
- Surveys to help prioritize balancing and content additions

Players who join Early Access help steer the direction of the game, and many decisions will be directly influenced by community input.
