Coming Soon To Early Access

What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“The Gastarbeiters will be updated and improved to become more and more engaging for new players while keeping things fresh for our veterans. We'd love to involve the community in the development process so we can walk this path together!”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“The game will be in Early Access for approximately one year.”

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

“During the development of The Gastarbeiters, we plan to add more building materials, more chaos, expand the core mechanics, and make the experience of playing the game unforgettable.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The Gastarbeiters already features basic building materials and randomly generated landscapes where you can build any house you want for sale, overcoming all the challenges of construction with your friends - explosions, raids, robberies... these are just a small taste of what awaits you on the building site.”

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

“We plan to gradually increase the price as we add new content and features.”

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

“We want to involve the players in development through community forums and our Discord server. We'll run polls to learn what you'd like to see in the next update, seek your advice, and look at The Gastarbeiters not only through a developer's eyes.”
