Why Early Access?

“This product is nowhere near complete, I intend to add roughly 5 times the content, 10 times the polish, and four buckets of love before I think it's even worth paying for. I'm releasing this demo so you can have a chance to walk alongside me as the game is developed, and tell me what you like and dislike along the way.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“At its current pace the game should leave early access sometime in mid to late 2027, although this timeline may shift forward or back depending on how much time I can devote to its development.”

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

“The full version of the game will simply expand on what's already here, deepening existing mechanics and polishing existing interactions. More specifically I intend on deepening progression, adding more emphasis on the physics-based recipes, and so on.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Playable, but lacking the depth and polish that I think is necessary to call it a complete product. The current version features fully functional combat, crafting, randomized NPCs, and a boss fight, as well as many of the basic systems that will be needed later on in development.”

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

“Rext will have a free demo available with most of the content of the full game in it, and the final release is currently planned to have a small price tag attached to it, which will slowly grow as new content is added to the game.”

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

“I plan to involve the community pretty regularly. Assuming this gets off the ground I intent to host a plethora of polls regarding the balancing of mechanics, ideas for the future of development, and so on. Once I reach a point in development that the community can be involved in the development of 'fun' parts of the game, I will add a link with instructions on how to do so.”
