Dlaczego wczesny dostęp?

„I'm bringing Field Notes to Early Access because I believe the best discoveries happen together. The game is built around exploration and curiosity, and I want to grow it with the help of a community that shares those values. Early Access gives me the opportunity to refine core systems like wildlife behavior, photo collection, and planetary exploration based on real player feedback. Your input will help shape new features, biomes, and species as I expand the universe of Field Notes into something truly special.”

„Field Notes will be in Early Access for at least a year, but possibly longer. As a solo developer, I want to take the time needed to carefully build out the world, polish the experience, and respond to player feedback without rushing. My goal is to create something truly memorable, and that means growing the game at a pace that ensures quality, creativity, and care in every update.”

Jaki jest obecny stan wersji z wczesnego dostępu?

„While playable with most of the base features, Field Notes is not a complete experience, with limited exploration options.

Currently, Field Notes contains one explorable biome, with a handful of plants and animal life to discover and document as well as the first few missions of the story to get the players started on their adventure.

Players have access to a few unlockable tools to start documenting wildlife, as well as the ability to explore the starting Expedition Station and the planet below.

You will also meet several characters which lead you into the story.”
