Varför Early Access?

“I would want to keep the game in EA until it is complete content wise. Being in a early access means I would like to solidify the game development process from the technical standpoint. Whilst the story is complete theory wise, I'm aiming and pushing for fixing bugs, solving problems and ensuring theres a solid bridge between the solo developer that I am and the community I would like to build.

As a game developer, I happily accept critical constructive feedback as long as those players who are willing to stand by the game continue to provide said perspectives.”

Ungefär hur länge kommer det här spelet att vara i Early Access?

“The game will remain in early access until October 2026 where development will be consistantly active and once enough playtesters have been accumulated. The game must be in a stable state and have all of the areas complete.

There are several stages/areas planned, each with its own story element. The biggest issue right now is manpower. Developing stages/maps takes a very long time considering its all hand crafted. AI does help with this but it cannot replace the soul of art making.

Hur är det tänkt att den fullständiga versionen ska skilja sig från versionen i Early Access?

“The EA/pre alpha game has certain limitations for example, limited map exploration due to incomplete sections as i would rather have these hardlocked than explorable and be half finished, as well as items that can be crafted. I wanted to get a solid gameplay loop down in stone which involves fighting, crafting, building.”

Hur är det nuvarande läget i versionen med Early Access?

“Currently, the core gameplay loop is there. You can survive from a day to day basis, explore certain areas and ideally get a whole idea of the game. You can craft basic items, build basic structures and explore the allowed areas until the next set of updates. But for this, I need players and their feedback. This is the only way the game can survive. There is currently a discord and a tiktok page to help spread knowledge of the game which will in turn help fuel the playerbase.”

Kommer spelet att prissättas annorlunda under och efter Early Access?

“The game will be free during pre alpha and after full release, the game will be paid for once I'm happy that this is a game that people would actually pay for. I see it the way from my own perspective. I don't believe in charging p”

Hur planerar ni att involvera gemenskapen i er utvecklingsprocess?

“I would like to ask my community to give critical feedback about things they like, dont like. I know some areas of subjective feedback will be on the visuals hence why I know this will be going through several changes of development, as it's a retro esc game for whats running on the most power game engine in the world.

We have a discord where people are able to share their comments and feedback once EA is open to allow players to post bug reports, things they would like to see, and things they would want to have.

My goal is to create a unique gameplay experience that bridges away from the typical punch tree build house done type of game but instead inject a heartwarming storyline that captivates audiences and includes the element of survival esc gameplay to demonstate a love dynamic between two characters and the story they will share.”
