Why Early Access?

“Last Treasure Online ships with persistent online features and the parts that matter most in it, like crews, trading, buried treasure and the size of the ocean, only show what they really are once real people are playing together. We want to grow the world with players in it, fixing what they run into and adding what they ask for, instead of guessing alone.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Cannot predict! Until the features are set in stone, most likely.”

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

“We plan to add more islands, towns, dungeons and quests, more fish, weapons and gear, more ship types, and a deeper skill tree. We plan to keep tuning combat, sailing and the economy based on how players actually use them. Once these mechanics feel appropriate to the player base, at that point the game will likely continue to exist in a familiar state at which point it would no longer be early access. We are not promising specific features or dates.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The game is playable from character creation through all of the current content. You can sail a crewed ship with friends, fish, fight, explore islands with towns, caves and dungeons, trade with NPCs, form crews and bury treasure for other players to find. Windows, macOS, and Linux clients share one persistent world. Expect bugs, balance changes and some unfinished areas.”

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

“We plan to raise the price when the game leaves Early Access. Anyone who buys during Early Access keeps the game at no extra cost.”

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

“Through Discord and in the Steam discussions, take bug reports and suggestions there, and post notes with every update. Our testers already shape the game this way and we plan to keep working like that.”
