Why Early Access?

“Bonfire Buddies is designed as a co-op experience, and player feedback is essential to shaping the balance, progression, and overall feel of the game. Early Access allows us to test core systems like multiplayer, enemy behavior, and survival mechanics with real players while continuing to expand the game.

We want to build this alongside the community and ensure the final version is as fun and polished as possible.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We expect Bonfire Buddies to be in Early Access for approximately 6–12 months, depending on player feedback and development progress.”

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

“The full version is planned to include additional content such as new enemy types, expanded environments, more survival mechanics, and improved progression systems.

We also plan to continue refining multiplayer stability, balancing gameplay systems, and improving overall polish based on community feedback.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The Early Access version includes the core gameplay loop: players can host or join online co-op sessions, gather resources, maintain the campfire, and survive against enemy threats.

The game is fully playable but still in an early stage, with ongoing improvements planned for content, balance, performance, and overall polish.”

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

“We plan to offer Bonfire Buddies at a lower price during Early Access and may gradually increase the price as new content and features are added.”

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

“We plan to gather feedback through Steam discussions and player reports to guide development. Community input will help shape gameplay balance, new features, and overall improvements throughout Early Access.

We’ll actively monitor feedback and use it to prioritize updates and fixes.”
