Why Early Access?

“The goal of this early access is to receive feedback from the community in order to not only tweek aspects of the game, but potentially rework whole sections of the game loop, specifically about the simultaneous implementation of the two contradictory concepts: open world and dice. I am fully commited on the idea of changing my plan in accordance to the playerbase. In fact, i thing that it is a obligatory step towards the completion of a game. I plan to release updates continuously until the product becomes marketable. Then I post the 1.0. I currently am not sure on how the game mechinics will look like for the final.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“broadly.... 6 months. maybe more.”

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

“We plan to add more than 10 types of enemies in order to spice up the game. (it currently have only one).

We plan to make the gameplay more fluid and frictionless by adding shortcuts and quality-of-life features. For example... it is annoying to drag and drop dices simply to move a few squares. The final game should support a shortcut that perform the action quicker. Also, the "steps counter" should not reset when re-rolling dice. To the contrary, the unused dice should be automatically converted to steps when pressing the re-roll button in order to accept a faster-paced gameplay.

We plan to add more items in the game. Many of the ones in the teaser aren't there yet (amulets, shovel, vase, etc...). And we may add even more items (modifiers, gems, ores, trinkets, structures, meat, etc...). All items mentioned are examples only, none are garanteed to be in the final product.

We plan to add neutral creatures, to increase the diversification of interactions and food source.

We plan to add lore informations hidden in the world. We plan to also add an ending to the campaign.

No single elements on this list are certain to be featured in the final release.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“There is only one enemy that roams the world.

There is only one playable character.

There is no lore implementation yet (even though the game has a lore).

The crafting system only feature two craftable items and a handful of primary resources.

The map is infinite and random but it only contains one biome.”

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

“the early access will be free. The final game, will have the full price.”

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

“I will invite people to talk about my game on a discord server.”
