Why Early Access?

“We want to refine a survival/crafting + base-building PvP loop with real players at scale. Balance for gathering rates, raiding/defense, progression pacing, and procedural island generation all benefit hugely from community feedback. Early Access lets us iterate quickly on weapons, building pieces, netcode feel, performance, and QoL while keeping the game fully playable.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Our current plan is about 12–18 months (roughly 1.5 years). Timing may shift based on feedback and scope, but the goal is to leave EA once core features and content breadth feel complete and stable.”

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

“The full version is planned to include:
More content: additional biomes/points of interest, more resources, new weapons & gear tiers, more building pieces (defenses, traps, utilities).
Systems depth & balance: better base raiding/defense options, revised crafting trees, tuning for solo vs squads.
Polish & performance: visual/audio passes, UI/UX improvements, accessibility options, optimization on low-end hardware.
Steam features: achievements, cloud save improvements, and broader localization.
Stability: server tools and moderation features, plus bug-fixes informed by EA testing.
(Features may adjust during development based on testing and community feedback.)”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The EA build is playable and includes the core loop:
Top-down 2D combat on procedurally generated islands
Gathering, crafting, and early gear progression
Base building (foundations/walls/doors/storage)
Online PvP on authoritative servers; corpse looting; inventory management
Basic audio/visual polish and settings
Expect ongoing balance changes, bugs, and occasional progress wipes as we update world generation or progression.”

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

“Yes. We plan to launch EA at a lower introductory price and increase the price when we leave Early Access for 1.0”

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

“Public roadmap & patch notes with frequent balance updates.
Discord/Steam forums for feedback on crafting trees, building pieces, and PvP balance.
Telemetry + playtests to tune progression, loot, and raiding.
Surveys & test branches before major patches.
We’ll iterate openly and prioritize changes that improve fairness, readability, and long-term replayability.”
