Why Early Access?

“Choosing Early Access is core to our vision of making players an integral part of the game's development. Currently, the game has implemented basic core gameplay, and we eagerly hope to leverage everyone's real experience and feedback to refine gameplay details, fix potential issues, and adjust content pacing with precision. As an independent developer, I will continue to invest time in advancing development, take every suggestion seriously, and work alongside players to deepen and solidify the "joy of creation from scratch," ultimately delivering a complete version that better meets player expectations.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“There is no fixed end date for Early Access. We plan to progress with the stable implementation of core gameplay (Crafting, Adventure, Lumber, and Mining Town Systems) as the core goal. Starting from December 2025, the expected timeline I set for myself to complete these parts is 6 to 7 months. The specific progress will be dynamically adjusted based on actual development circumstances and player feedback to ensure the quality of the launched content meets standards.”

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

“The Early Access version focuses on the "Crafting System." The full version will expand on this with a more diverse gameplay system and progression dimensions, making the game content richer and the experience more cohesive:
The development phase plans to add the "Adventure System": Centered on exploration and challenge core gameplay, it will include random levels, powerful enemy battles, rare reward unlocks, and other content, bringing players the adventurous joy of "exploring uncharted territories";
The development phase plans to add the "Lumber System": A classic resource collection gameplay that produces core progression resources for the game, creating a virtuous cycle between resource accumulation and gameplay advancement;
The development phase plans to add the "Mining Town System": A Monopoly-style casual progression gameplay that unlocks a longer-term urban construction and development system, enriching the game's casual experience;
The full version will also optimize gameplay connectivity and supplement detailed content (such as scene polishing, sound effect improvements, and operational smoothness enhancements) to achieve a more unified overall experience.
The above is the current development plan. Specific content may adjust priorities or add details based on player feedback, ensuring that each new addition aligns with player needs.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The current Early Access version has stably launched the core framework of the "Crafting System," and players can directly experience 2 complete gameplay modes and key supporting content:
Crafting Gameplay: Collect basic materials and combine them according to recipes to create various items, experiencing the "sense of creation from scratch";
Alchemy Gameplay: Blend different reagents to refine items with special effects, exploring the diversity of material combinations;
Key supporting content includes a simple tutorial process and a core gameplay balance system, ensuring a smooth and usable experience.
The remaining "Cooking Gameplay" of the Crafting System and the "Basic Item Encyclopedia" (the encyclopedia is currently under development) have both entered the final polishing stage. They are expected to be gradually launched simultaneously by the end of December 2025 (subject to actual updates). At that time, relevant content such as cooking recipes, ingredient collection, and item encyclopedia query functions will be supplemented to enrich the dimensions of manual creation.”

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

“The game will remain free to play for the long term. Whether in the current Early Access phase or after subsequent updates to the full version, all core gameplay and new content will have no paywalls, allowing players to experience the complete game content for free.”

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

“Player feedback is the core foundation for game optimization. We will collect suggestions through multiple channels and implement them in development:
Communication Channels: Everyone can submit various opinions such as gameplay suggestions, bug reports, and experience improvements via Steam Reviews, QQ Groups, or comments on our Bilibili account;
Progress Updates: Irregular development logs will be posted on Bilibili.”
