Coming Soon To Early Access

The developers of this game intend to release as a work in progress, developing with the feedback of players.

Note: Games in Early Access are not complete and may or may not change further. If you are not excited to play this game in its current state, then you should wait to see if the game progresses further in development. Learn more

What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“"Although the game has been developed and improved over many years, it is not yet ready to achieve final version status.
At this stage, the game already features a large volume of core gameplay and polished mechanics designed for dozens of hours of playtime, and we have a substantial reserve of new ideas and gaming features in our plans. We believe Early Access will allow us to involve more players in the Chemists universe, enabling the Steam gaming community to actively participate in the game's development while providing us with the financial support needed for further development."”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“"We haven't determined an exact date yet, but we expect the game to exit Early Access in approximately 1-2 years. This timeframe is needed to implement all planned content."”

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

“"The full version will feature significantly more gameplay opportunities, most of which will focus on expanding content diversity. This will enhance the player's role across many activities: in-game economy and trading; crafting; base building and upgrades; caravan raids; raid monsters, etc. Significant attention will be given to presenting the world's history through numerous quests and environments, helping players understand the current world situation and the possible causes of the catastrophe.

The full version will also feature a much larger world. During Early Access, we plan to add numerous territories/locations, allowing players to fully immerse themselves in world exploration.

Additionally, the full version will contain far more in-game content: expanded weapon and gear sets; various equipment; numerous regular and raid monsters; in-game events; skill and perk progression; extensive crafting options, and much more."”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“"At this stage, the game features the fully developed core functionality presented in the game description."”

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

“"We understand that our game is not yet a finished product at this stage. During Early Access, we'll do substantial work to improve the game and bring it closer to its final form, and it's possible we may increase the price after exiting Early Access."”

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

“"Before Early Access launch, we actively worked with our established gaming community on social networks and forums. During Early Access, we plan to continue communicating with our community, monitoring themed player discussions, and listening to community feedback—especially regarding gameplay issues, balance, and mechanics. We always track suggestions and requests for new features, and if supported by most players, we strive to implement them. Thus, the community can drive major game changes, as long as they don't contradict the game's lore."”
