Why Early Access?

“We're launching in Early Access to involve the community in the development process and to gather valuable feedback as we refine and expand the game. While the current version includes core features and gameplay systems, we're actively working on adding new content, improving balance, and polishing the overall experience. Early Access players will help shape the game's direction, and we’re excited to build this together”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We plan to keep Ash Survival in Early Access for approximately 12 to 24 months. This timeline gives us the flexibility to expand core systems, refine balance, introduce additional content, and respond to player feedback. Our goal is to develop a polished and feature-rich experience before considering a full release, though this may change depending on how development progresses.”

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

“We plan for the full version of Ash Survival to include a number of expanded features and improvements based on player feedback and development goals. These may include:

Vehicle repair systems – We’re exploring systems that allow players to maintain and repair bikes and cars

Voice chat – We plan to add in-game voice communication alongside text chat

Expanded map – Currently, about 1/4 of the island is available. We aim to open more of the island over time

Animal ecosystem – We’re considering features like animal hunting behavior, taming, and breeding

Additional content – Including new items, crafting options, base defenses, and wildlife encounters

Ongoing polish – As development continues, we plan to improve performance, fix bugs, and refine the user experience

Please note that these features are subject to change and depend on development priorities and community feedback.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The Early Access version of Ash Survive includes all core survival mechanics and a solid gameplay foundation. You can:

Explore about 1/4 of the island

Scavenge buildings and natural areas for loot

Use vehicles (with fuel and damage systems)

Build powered bases, farm, and craft

Face aggressive wildlife and survive dynamic weather

Use vending machines and turrets to trade and defend

Communicate via in-game text chat

The game is playable solo or with others, but it’s still in active development. You may encounter bugs, missing polish, or incomplete features. Systems like vehicle repair, voice chat, and the animal ecosystem (breeding, taming, AI behavior) are planned but not yet implemented.”

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

“Yes, we plan to gradually increase the price as we add more content, features, and improvements during development. Early Access players will get the game at a lower price and help shape its future through feedback and testing.”

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

“We believe community feedback is essential to making Ash Survival the best it can be. Here’s how we’re involving you:

We’ll host regular Q&A sessions, share development progress, and gather feedback on new features. We also encourage players to report bugs and share suggestions to help us prioritize fixes and improvements. As development continues, we’ll keep the community informed with updates, patch notes, and opportunities to playtest new content.”
