Why Early Access?

“The fish and I decided that it’s better to keep developing the game while staying close to the players. We need YOUR feedback and support!”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Two to three years, but we’ll be flapping our hands and fins as hard as we can to finish the game as soon fish ass possible!”

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

“Our plans for the FUTURE:
● Diplomacy that's hard to find and easy to lose.
● Faction Progression to make games more adaptive and deeper.
● Challenges that will make even seasoned players sweat.
● Editor to unlock the community's creative potential.
● New Factions that will simply blow your mind.
● New Mechanics that will blow your mind again.
● Cross-platform games with people on any device.
● MORE FISH BECAUSE WHO DOESN'T ACTUALLY LIKE FISH!?”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The current Early Access version of Buddies to Death is fully playable and features a solid core gameplay loop. At this stage, players can experience:

● Five Unique Factions + One Neutral Faction, each with distinct units and playstyles.

● Procedural Map Generator, ensuring a fresh battlefield for every session.

● Dynamic Combat Systems, including unit evolution and deep asymmetric mechanics.

● Game Modes: Full Singleplayer against AI, Online Multiplayer, and a classic Local Hotseat mode.

● Strategic Layer: Real-time building on the battlefield and resource management.

All the core features mentioned in the 'About This Game' section are already implemented and functional. We with fish are now focusing on polishing, balancing, and adding more content based on your feedback.”

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

“Look, I’m just a fisherman and I’m not great at math, but let’s say if the game costs one fish now, then in its final, polished state, it’ll cost at least TWO HIGH-QUALITY FISH!”

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

“Yes!

Fish and I believe that YOUR feedback is the cornerstone of a great game. To ensure full transparency and keep our players involved, we will provide regular updates and gather feedback through the following channels:

● Steam Community Hub - We will post regular news, detailed patch notes, and monitor the discussion forums daily to answer questions.

● YouTube Channel - We plan to release devlogs and video updates to show behind-the-scenes progress and upcoming features in action.

● Discord Server - This is our primary hub for real-time interaction. Players can chat directly with the developers, report bugs, suggest new mechanics, and participate in polls that will help shape the game's roadmap.

We are committed to listening to your ideas on faction balance, new units, and gameplay improvements. By staying in constant communication, we aim to build Buddies to Death into a game that the community truly LOVES to play.

ONLY PEOPLE WHO WONT BULLY MY FISH ARE INVITED!”
