Why Early Access?

“We are offering Early Access to share the game from an early stage and see how the community receives it. We want to observe how players interact with its core mechanics, gather real feedback, and use that input to improve the overall experience as we continue development. We believe that involving the community from the beginning will help us make better decisions throughout the development process.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We expect the game to remain in Early Access for approximately 4 to 6 months, depending on development progress and community feedback. During this time, we will expand content, improve game balance, and optimize performance before the full release.”

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

“The Early Access version includes the playable core of the game and its main mechanics.
We plan for the full version to feature visual improvements, adjustments and expansions to the mechanics, additional content, and a more polished overall experience. The scope of the game will progressively grow as new ideas are implemented and existing ones are optimized, always taking community feedback into account.”

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

“We plan for the price to gradually increase as new content, visual improvements, and major features are added during development. We want players who support the game during Early Access to receive fair value for doing so.”

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

“The community plays a fundamental role in the development of Submarine Homesick Blues. Throughout Early Access, we will actively gather player feedback, suggestions, and bug reports to help prioritize improvements, balance adjustments, and future content.

We will post regular development updates and share important changes influenced by player feedback. Our goal is for the community to directly shape the balance, features, and overall evolution of the game during Early Access.”
