Why Early Access?

“We’re releasing We Build Below in Early Access because this game is built on emergent gameplay and player-driven strategy.

We aim to have a good base of interesting machines, biomes, characters and more on early access release, but We Build Below is designed to evolve through player experimentation. We believe that the best decisions around balancing, progression and biome variety come from real-world feedback.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Between 3 to 9 months. ”

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

“Our goal is to add more content such as machine, biomes, characters, NPC's or new parasites. We plan to expand on the core gameplay by adding interesting mechanics that will provide new challenges for veteran players and make the game more appealing for new players.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“In its current early access state the game includes a good amount of different biomes each with their own vegetation, ores and fluids. The game already has a solid foundation of machines and upgrades to ensure replayability.

The early access version also has both multiplayer and singleplayer gameplay. Players are able to play together via the Steam friend system.

Players can experience the combat, factory building and exploration mechanics as they are intended in the full release. Albeit with less content. ”

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

“Yes during early access the price will be slightly lower than on full release to reward those taking a risk on our game!”
