Why Early Access?

“The core systems of the game are now in place: a no-UI system and a unique mushroom combat system. All you need to do is continuously absorb spores and then release them to grow various mushrooms, which will carry you through the entire game flow. I hope to share my work with everyone and would love to receive more feedback and suggestions to polish and improve the game.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We anticipate that the game will conclude its Early Access stage in approximately 12 to 18 months, depending on various factors during development. This timeline may be adjusted appropriately based on development progress, feedback collection, and technical challenges
.”

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

“In the full version plan, the player-controlled protagonist will complete a journey to find a mate within the span of a brief lifetime.

We have designed six to eight levels, with the main content focusing on those forgotten yet joy-bringing moments in real life, such as watching an ant relocation for hours as a child.

To make the game suitable for players of various age groups, the full version emphasizes exploration, interaction, and action-oriented gameplay. We have removed traditional UI, equipment, experience progression, skill upgrades, and other additional systems that could disrupt immersive experience. In the game, you will live out the complete and unique life of a mushroom.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The current state of the Early Access version has completed the most crucial physiology-driven system framework and a unique mushroom combat system.

The physiology-driven system means character attributes are reflected through their behaviors and characteristics. For instance, changes in the character's health are visually represented by color variations on its head.

The unique mushroom combat system allows players to continuously absorb spores from other types of mushrooms to grow various kinds of mushrooms. However, the grown mushrooms have a very short lifespan and release different skills. This achieves a unique combat experience that integrates collection, tower defense, and strategy with just one button.”

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

“During the Early Access period and until the official release, the price will not be gradually increased due to the addition of new content and features; the current price will remain unchanged. Upon the official release, the price will be appropriately increased based on the game's content and features.”

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

“We will regularly gather players' opinions and suggestions on the game's cutting-edge system design, creature ecology (mushroom) combat and skills, development progress, features, and other aspects through community discussions. The collected feedback will be organized and analyzed to make timely adjustments and optimizations during development, ensuring the game better meets players' expectations.”
