Why Early Access?

“Gone Digging is being developed with a strong focus on player feedback. Early Access allows us to test core mechanics, balance progression, and refine co-op and solo gameplay with the community’s help.
Because the game mixes simulation, horror, and humor in a systemic way, real player behavior is essential to identify what works, what breaks, and what can be pushed further. Early Access lets us build the best possible version of the game together with our players.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We expect Gone Digging to remain in Early Access for approximately 9 to 12 months.
This timeframe may adjust depending on community feedback and the scope of improvements added during development, but our goal is to reach a polished and content-complete 1.0 release within that window.”

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

“We plan to add more maps ,more monsters and more digging tools and loots.
We plan also to improve the multiplayer experience.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The Early Access version of Gone Digging is playable.
Players can experience the core gameplay loop including the main mechanics which are digging holes, looting and escaping dangers/Monsters at night in both solo and co-op play. While the game is stable and functional, some features, content, and polish are still in development, like improving the map and monsters, players may encounter bugs or balance issues that will be addressed throughout Early Access.”

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

“No”

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

“We will actively involve the community by collecting feedback through Steam forums, reviews, and Discord, and by using player input to prioritize bug fixes, balance changes, and new features throughout Early Access.”
