Why Early Access?

“The core gameplay loop in complete, however by having early access I can gather feedback if the game needs further balancing and get input on new features the community would like to see added before release.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Within one year.”

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

“The full version of the game I intended to add other randomly generated environments for the players to collect valuables in. In the few months after release I'm certainly planning on adding an area 51 like location with randomly generated undergrounds labs that will be more challenging for the players. I'd also like to add various new equipment items and add more progression to the game perhaps getting to the point where a save system will need to be implement. Currently the game leans more towards a rouge like state where you just start the game and see how far you get because the progression is so short but id like that to change. Also there will be more enemy types and low sanity events.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Currently there is a working random generation system for the sewers that provide a dark and claustrophobic atmosphere. The game has full day and night cycles with random weather. There is a sanity system with spooky events that happen at random intervals depending on the player's status. Biggest of all are the five hostile cryptids the player will encounter on the surface and sewer”

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

“No.”

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

“Early access is important because I wish to gather feedback from the community primarily on Discord. As the game comes out in its first stages the community will help with adjusting balance of the game, for example how much items cost or providing suggestions on what they'd like changed. The community can also provide suggestions on what they would like to be added to the game such as new equipment or enemies. I plan to host votes regarding these topics so the community will play a huge role in future updates. ”
