Why Early Access?

“Rinthine is our first foray into the survival crafting genre, and we are committed to working on it for a long while. We have the bones of an engaging game, but there is still so much content we want to add. With early access, we can take the time to properly add that content, with an eye towards putting in what the community wants to see. ”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We plan on staying in Early Access for as long as necessary to properly realize the game. We anticipate this to be about 10 months of Early Access.”

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

“The Early Access version includes a large procedurally generated world with all the core game mechanics: gathering, crafting, cooking, combat, and map-wide events. Players will be able to experience a subset of each season's content.

We plan on continuing Early Access updates to add more and more content: new resources, crafting items, creatures, and boss fights. We also plan on rolling out large intermittent updates for completely new seasons, multiplayer, story updates, and additional gameplay mechanics (such as fishing and animal taming).

We plan to include 4 full in-game seasons, the completed core and seasonal crafting trees, the full suite of enemies, and a complete narrative.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The initial Early Access version will include the core mechanics and about half of the planned content for the first two seasons. This includes:
- All player tools
- About half of all planned rooms for the first two seasons
- About 75% of the general crafting tree and 50% of both seasonal crafting trees
- All enemies for the first season, sans boss, and about 50% of the enemies for the second season
- Rooms cycling between the two available seasons
Currently, only singleplayer is available. ”

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

“Pricing will be cheaper for the Early Access version, yes!”

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

“We have built a community from the ground up with the express purpose of involving them in the feedback and iteration process. We will be collecting player feedback from both social media and our dedicated Discord server.”
