Why Early Access?

“Blackrock began as a learning project and has since grown into a much larger experience. Early Access allows for continuous improvement while gathering feedback to guide the game towards a polished, stable, and enjoyable state.

Rather than rushing toward a final release, the focus is on refining the foundation and making sure the core gameplay is solid and satisfying.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We plan to keep the game in Early Access for approximately 1 year. This timeline might shift slightly depending on player feedback and the overall development process, but our goal is to release the full version around mid to late 2026.

Development will continue steadily and thoughtfully until the game reaches a state of completeness and quality that meets our standards.

This isn’t about rushing to release — it’s about crafting something truly worth playing: polished, fun, and built to last.”

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

“The goal is to expand Blackrock with:

• More worlds and environments
  
• Additional weapons and combat options
  
• New enemy types and troop units
  
• Full controller support

Before adding major content updates, our current focus is on improving and refining the existing gameplay and systems. The aim is to deliver the smoothest and most stable experience possible, though this process will naturally evolve based on feedback and ongoing development.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The game is fully playable and performs well based on internal testing.
The core mechanics are implemented, and feedback is now essential to guide further improvements.
At this stage, ongoing optimization and polish is a key focus, alongside content expansion.”

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

“No, the price will stay the same before and after the full release. We don’t want to give anyone an advantage or disadvantage based on when they join. Supporting the game during Early Access is completely voluntary, and I’m truly grateful to everyone who decides to be part of the journey. ”

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

“For now, players are welcome to share feedback or bug reports through the Steam Community Hub.

A dedicated Discord server is planned and will be launched soon to enable more direct communication and community interaction.

Suggestions, ideas, and bug reports are always appreciated — every voice helps make Blackrock better.
