What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“This game is a passion project of mine. Most of the core gameplay is already in, but I want real time player feedback so that I can tweak everything into the best version they can possibly be while still developing the game.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“While I'm not exactly the best at estimating time frames, I expect the game will be in early access for potentially 6-9 months while getting all the systems and graphics and world as perfected as possible.”

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

“As Early Access progresses, I plan to add more zones, more interactable things in each zone, a lot of quest lines, an interesting storyline, improved graphics, more skills, a female main character, better optimization, and even more monsters!”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The systems of the game are mostly complete, including real-time combat, capturing monsters, breeding, genetic editing, finding loot, crafting items and equipment, base expansion, and the Arena system. Most of the creatures are in the game and can be obtained, and there is 1 zone with all of its maps, out of 5 zones total. There is no story in the game yet, and only a few events the player can take part in besides what's in the core gameplay loop. There are around 100 skills as of now, with more being added throughout development.”

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

“The Early Access price will be discounted from the planned v1.0 release price. The price will gradually increase as more content is added during the Early Access phase.”

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

“While all the systems are in, I want to see what the community thinks of them, and I am willing to alter or even completely redo systems if necessary, such as the Genetic Editing system. I originally wanted it to be more interactive with the player moving around a room doing things, but that could be time consuming and undesirable when it's the 100th time doing it, so I'd like to see what the community thinks. The community discussions or the discord community are the best places to give feedback.”

AI Generated Content Disclosure

The developers describe how their game uses AI Generated Content like this:

The game was vibe coded. Many of the current assets were generated by various GenAI models, some of which will be staying but some of which are just placeholders for the time being. Much manual work still goes into making everything look good and come together even when using GenAI.
