Why Early Access?

“The game is still in development, with some features incomplete or to be reworked and additional optimization needed. Early Access allows players to experience the game as it evolves and provide feedback.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“It's planed for the game to be in Early Access for approximately 1 to 2 years. This allows to have enough time to develop and gather player feedback to ensure the released game is good and polished as possible.”

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

“It's planned to introduce a new mission selection system, as well as some new tools, biomes, gameplay mechanics and expand the variety of enemies and mission types.

Additionally, we aim to further refine the UI, optimization, and a potential balancing on progression.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Duck the Miner already includes a big portion of development done, particularly the core systems and gameplay mechanics, such as the mining features, fighting, selling, procedural-generated worlds, crafting, taxes, menus, save systems and accessibility.”

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

“The price of the game will increase slightly when it fully releases, reflecting the additional work and improvements done, made during Early Access.”

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

“Player suggestions and bug reports will always help the development for future updates.

Feedback can be sent on Steam Discussions or in the future via an in-game feature.”
