Hvorfor tidlig adgang?

“Stout Kayak is already a fun ride, but I know it can go even further. I’m working solo on this, and Early Access gives me the chance to grow the game with the community. Your feedback, your stories, your ideas. All of it will help shape this game into something truly special. Let’s build it together.”

Hvor lang tid vil dette spil være i tidlig adgang?

“About 1 year.
My goal is to shape Stout Kayak with the help of players, polish the gameplay, until it reaches a strong full release. After that, I plan to keep evolving the game through regular updates and new DLC maps.”

Hvorledes kommer den fulde version til at være anderledes end produktet i tidlig adgang?

“Stout Kayak already captures the core of what I want to share — freedom, adrenaline, and nature.
I plan to add multiplayer gameplay, develop Xbox/PlayStation controller support, expand survival systems, enhance character and kayak customization, and experiment with immersive gameplay mechanics.”

Hvad er den nuværende tilstand for versionen med tidlig adgang?

“Stout Kayak is a full 3D whitewater kayaking simulation featuring a large open map with rivers, waterfalls, and multiple play spots. The game includes realistic physics with force and torque, allowing players to perform freestyle tricks like boof, carve, flip, cobra flip, and eskimo roll.

The environment features dynamic day/night cycles, weather effects like rain and fog, and interactive elements such as trucks to reach out places and campgrounds with tents friends and campfires. Players can surf waves, race on a river section, cliff dive from platforms, and explore caves to find hidden diamonds.

The gameplay offers both third-person and first-person perspectives, with player-activated cameras placed along rivers. A survival system influences player temperature, requiring warming by fires to avoid slowing down. The music system allows players to play music in kayaks or trucks, adding to immersion.

Key features:

4 creek kayak colors and a 1 freestyle kayak that has stronger physics for tricks

Truck pickup/drop system that automatically handles kayak placement

Multiple interactive spots including surf waves, cliff diving platforms, campgroundsand cozy lodges.

Dynamic weather and lighting system with day/night cycles

Expressive gameplay focused on player creativity and style

The ultimate goal is to develop a multiplayer mode in the future. Currently, the game is stable and playable with core mechanics fully implemented, but ongoing improvements and new features such as expanded survival systems and enhanced customization options will be added throughout Early Access.”
