Why Early Access?

“Moove is a silly idea: herding cows across the wild with your friends, on horseback, while everything goes wrong. We want to find out with players which parts of that idea are the most fun, and build on those. Early Access lets us work with the community from the start: we release updates often, see how people actually play, and adjust. It also keeps us focused. We'd rather polish what players love than fill the game with features nobody asked for.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“About a year. We won't call it 1.0 until it's polished and has the content we describe below. If that takes longer, we'll say so openly instead of rushing a release.”

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

“More levels in new biomes, each with its own hazards. Herd across frozen lakes with slippery ice and holes you can fall through, through forests where grizzly bears roam, and into caves full of bloodthirsty bats. Plus more we haven't announced yet.

More character customization. More clothing and new body sliders, so your cowpoke looks exactly as ridiculous as you want.

More items. Some are useful, some are just for looks, and some exist only to get a laugh out of your friends.

Account progression. Long-term unlocks that give you a reason to keep building your own character.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The core game is complete and playable from start to finish:

4-player online co-op

Ride horses, lasso runaway cows (or your friends) and drive the herd to safety

Wolves, tornadoes, landslides and angry mountain goats

Fully working proximity voice chat. Your friends hear you only when you're close, and they hear you scream when it all falls apart.

Some of the art and assets are placeholders bought from asset stores. We'll replace them with our own work during Early Access.”

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

“We plan to raise the price when we reach 1.0, because the full version will have a lot more content. If you buy during Early Access, you get every future update at no extra cost.”

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

“Discord is our main hub. Join to find people to herd with, report bugs, suggest ideas and tell us what is and isn't fun. We'll share what we're working on there, and players' feedback will directly decide what we build next.”
