Why Early Access?

“We’re launching "Cozy Holes" in Early Access to co-create with our community, ensuring we craft the coziest digging adventure possible. As a two-person team at FlashPoint Games, we’re passionate about making this game a relaxing escape, and we want to hear which elements—like the story, environment, or Digby’s upgrades—resonate most with you. Your feedback will help us prioritize features and enhancements, making the "final" version truly special.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We expect "Cozy Holes" to be in Early Access for 3-6 months, targeting a "final" release between September and December 2025. This timeline may adjust based on your feedback, as we’re committed to delivering the most heartfelt and relaxing experience possible. We’ll keep you updated every step of the way with clear communication.”

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

“The Early Access version, launching in June 2025, is a complete game with core digging mechanics, multiple biomes, and the full initial story arc. The "final" version will enhance this based on your feedback, potentially adding new environmental features, story chapters, and customization options for Digby. We’ll also refine gameplay (e.g., progression balance, visual effects) to ensure the coziest experience, guided by what you love most.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“When we launch in June 2025, the Early Access version includes all core features: digging through vibrant biomes (sand, crystals, etc.), upgrading Digby’s abilities, and uncovering the initial story via ancient carvings. It’s a complete, polished game you can enjoy now, though the scope of environment and interactions is limited compared to our vision for the "final" version. We’ll provide regular updates to add enhancements and address feedback.”

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

“"Cozy Holes" will launch in Early Access in June 2025 for $4.99, and we don’t plan to raise the price for the "final" release. If you buy during Early Access, you’ll own the game outright, including all future content we add during this phase (like new environmental elements or story chapters) at no extra cost. As a reward for our early supporters, you’ll get to play months before the full release and help shape the game’s direction with your feedback, ensuring the coziest experience for everyone.”

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

“We’ll engage with our community through Discord, Steam forums, and in-game feedback forms, making it easy for you to share your thoughts. We’ll post regular updates with patch notes and dev logs, host Q&A sessions on Discord to discuss your ideas (e.g., new biomes, story ideas), and run polls to let you vote on features. Your voice will shape "Cozy Holes," and we’d love for you to join us with #CozyHoles on social media to share your favorite moments!”
