Wozu Early Access?

„I chose to offer Early Access because I want players to enjoy the game before its full release and help shape it during development. Early Access allows me to:

- Gather valuable feedback from players on mechanics, balance, and usability.

- Test new features with the community and adjust them based on real player experiences.

- Build the game together with players, incorporating ideas and suggestions that fit the overall vision.

- Ensure the full release is more polished, fun, and filled with the content players truly want to see.

In short, Early Access gives me the chance to work closely with the community to make the final version the best it can be.“

Wie lange wird dieses Spiel ungefähr den Early Access-Status haben?

„We plan to leave Early Access in 2–3 months, at which point the game will reach its full release. However, development will not stop there, we plan to continue updating the game after release with additional content, features, and improvements based on community feedback.“

Wie soll sich die Vollversion von der Early Access-Version unterscheiden?

„The Early Access version will include the core gameplay loop, basic farming mechanics, and a limited set of products (mainly vegetables and trees). This will allow players to experience the foundation of the game and give feedback on balance, progression, and usability.

The full version is planned to expand significantly with:

- More products and variety: additional product types beyond vegetables and trees (e.g. processed goods, animal products, specialty crops).

- Task automation: systems such as automatic watering, automated production, and the ability to hire helpers to take care of specific jobs.

- Orders and economy: local shops and online order systems, allowing players to sell their goods through different channels and respond to market demand.

- Gameplay and polish: more progression options, expanded customization, improved UI/UX, performance optimizations, and refined difficulty scaling.

- Community-driven improvements: features and balancing informed by feedback from Early Access players.

In short, Early Access provides the solid foundation of the farming experience, while the full release will deliver a richer world with deeper systems, more variety, and greater long-term progression.“

Was ist der derzeitige Stand der Early Access-Version?

„The Early Access version is fully playable and already includes the core gameplay loop. Players can enjoy several hours of content before reaching the current limits. At this stage, the game features:

- Day and time system that drives the pace of gameplay.

- Variety of products to grow and sell, mainly vegetables and trees.

- Shop and farm management: buy and sell goods, restock items, and manage your farm’s production.

- Upgrades for both your shop and your farm to improve efficiency and unlock new options.

- Progression loop that allows players to expand their business and explore different strategies.

While the experience is already complete enough to enjoy, more content, features, and polish are planned for the full release.“

Wird dieses Spiel während und nach Early Access unterschiedlich viel kosten?

„It will probably be a bit more expensive, but not too much more.“

Wie werden Sie versuchen die Community in den Entwicklungsprozess miteinzubeziehen?

„The community will play an important role throughout Early Access. I plan to:

- Post regular devblogs with each update, explaining what has been added, changed, or fixed.

- Actively gather feedback from players through the Steam Community Hub, forums, and reviews.

- Use player suggestions to guide development, if players propose useful changes or new features that fit the vision of the game, I’ll do my best to implement them.

- Prioritize balancing and quality-of-life improvements based on community input, so the game grows in the direction players enjoy most.

In short, feedback from the community will directly shape new features, improvements, and overall direction of the game.“
