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?

“Mineslayer is releasing in early access to share the process of development with the community. As a solo developer, feedback is vital to identifying edge-case issues and meeting player expectations. Having players engage with Mineslayer early hastens development by highlighting the most immediate and prominent issues.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Mineslayer should be in early access for approximately 6 months.”

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

“Mineslayer alpha version is limited in scope but not gameplay. Full release is planned to include many additional levels, multiple new enemies, unique boss encounters, several game modes, and the full narrative accompanied by custom cinematic artwork.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Mineslayer is currently in alpha stage. Only 3 unique zones are currently accessible with a limited (but vast) pool of encounters. The action-puzzle gameplay is complete but may still have bugs. All intended items have been implemented. Placeholders have been implemented for art and audio pending final assets. ”

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

“The price will gradually increase each major update until final release.”

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

“Naturally, player feedback is of vital importance in development. From finding obscure bugs to graphical critique, we're excited to hear what the community offers to make Mineslayer's full release the best it can be.”
