Why Early Access?

“We want to involve players in shaping Olive Raiders from the ground up. Early Access allows us to test core mechanics such as shootouts, duels, and mission structure with real feedback from the community. Our goal is to refine gameplay balance, improve performance, and ensure the setting of post-unification Southern Italy feels both authentic and fun.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We expect Olive Raiders to remain in Early Access for around 2–3 months. This timeline may shift depending on community feedback, feature development, and content polishing.”

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

“The Early Access version focuses on the core story missions, main characters, and the foundational gameplay loop of exploration, bounty hunting, and duels.
For the full version, we plan to add:

Additional story chapters and cinematic cutscenes

Side missions and minigames (e.g., casino activities, dancing, local games)

More playable characters and an extended progression system

Expanded regions (new towns, rural villages, and hidden locations)

Multiplayer and co-op features

Further AI, balancing, and performance improvements”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Currently, the Early Access build includes:

4 main story missions introducing Veronica and Aloisio.

Exploration of several towns and landmarks (Paestum, Salerno, Piaggine, San Mauro La Bruca)

First implementation of shootouts, duels, horseback exploration, and bounty contracts

Original soundtrack and Italian voice acting

The game is stable and playable, but some features (progression system, additional characters, minigames, multiplayer) are still in development.”

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

“We plan to keep the price stable throughout Early Access, but it may increase once new content and features are added for the full release. Any pricing changes will reflect the amount of content and polish included in the final version.”

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

“Community feedback will be at the core of our development. Players will be able to:

Share feedback and bug reports on the Steam Community forums

Participate in gameplay polls and discussions on Discord

Suggest balancing adjustments for combat, missions, and characters

Help us refine translations (Italian, Portuguese, and English)

We plan to publish regular updates, patch notes, and development blogs to keep players informed and engaged throughout Early Access.”
