Why Early Access?

“LANDED combines deep survival, crafting, base-building, and NPC management systems. We believe the core experience is playable and engaging, but these interconnected systems need balancing and feedback from a live community.

Early Access allows us to build the game with our players. Players feedback will be essential in helping us refine the survivor AI, balance the crafting and survival progression, and decide which features to prioritize as we build towards the full version.
”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We plan to be in Early Access for at least 12-18 months. However, this timeframe may change depending on player feedback and the new features we add. We will exit Early Access when we are confident the game is a polished, stable, and complete experience.”

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

“The full 1.0 version of LANDED will be a more polished and expanded experience. While the Early Access version provides the core gameplay loop, we plan to add much more content. Our roadmap includes:

An expanded main story: New quests, characters, and lore to fully uncover the mystery of the collapse and the alien presence.

Deeper NPC survivor systems: More complex needs, skills, personalities, and interactions for your community members.

More crafting & base-building: Advanced tiers of machinery, defenses, and base customization options.

A larger world: New biomes, unique locations, and more secrets to discover.

More threats: New alien enemy types and other hazards to challenge your survival skills.

Additional content: More items, weapons, vehicles, and farming/hunting options.

Full polish & optimization: We will continue to fix bugs, optimize performance, and refine the user experience.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The current Early Access version features a stable, playable core of LANDED. Players can:

Explore a large open-world map.

Manage core survival mechanics (hunger, thirst, health).

Hunt, forage, farm, and scavenge for resources.

Craft a wide range of tools, weapons, and base components.

Build and upgrade a custom base.

Recruit initial survivors and assign them basic tasks.

Defend against the first set of alien enemy threats.

Explore on foot or on horseback.

Encounter and battle initial boss-level enemies.

As this is an Early Access title, players should expect bugs, performance limitations, and systems that are still being balanced. Player feedback on these elements is exactly why we're here.”

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

“We plan to offer the game at a lower price during Early Access to thank our early supporters for joining us on this journey. We intend to gradually raise the price as we add significant new content and features, with a final price increase upon the full 1.0 release.

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

“We are committed to being active and transparent throughout development. The two best places to be involved are our Discord server and the Steam Forums.

We will be closely monitoring these channels for all feedback, bug reports, and suggestions. We plan to post regular updates to keep our community informed of our progress and future plans. We see our players as vital partners in shaping LANDED, and we look forward to hearing players' ideas and feedback.”
