Why Early Access?

“Earthia Mining is planned as Early Access because we plan to add a lot of features on top of core gathering and mining loop which is fully playable. Phase 1 is complete, but our vision is much larger. Phase 2 will improve simple fights into a detailed combat system, and Phase 3 will expand into fully polished game. Looting, dungeons and more meta features are in the roadmap. Early Access will give us chance to build a community and connect with players and make the game as great as it can be.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We plan to have this game on Early Access for 1 year but it may change with community's input.”

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

“The full version plans include having more upgrades and more interaction with the environment, maybe getting some side quests from NPCs, possibly a combat system with different enemy types. Game will be polished much more.

Core gameplay will be same, mining, but there are plans to add improvements such as adding another main quest with new features after the first one finishes and adding more side features that makes mining and cutting easier.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Earthia Mining is fully playable as a mining game. You can cut down 11 types of ores and cut down trees to unlock more areas, you can upgrade your pickaxe and level up your character. You can finish some parts of the game by changing every ore into ingots which is your main mission but this is just beginning in Early Access version and done in a simple way and doesn't connect to side content and most of the potential planned unlockables.

Do some simple combat with different type of skeleton enemies to get XP and increase your character's stats such as strength, endurance, which effects health, stamina and other levels. Currently not every feature is in the game but a detailed roadmap is inside the game and will be updated through the socials.”

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

“There are plans to increase the price slightly when we release the full version.”

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

“Community will join us on social media and feedbacks will be listened and even some features will be added to the game with the suggestions of the community. Discord will be used as main communication tool and all social media links will be provided inside demo and main game and through marketing materials.”
