Why Early Access?

“TepuLink is still in development, and I want players to be able to experience it and share their feedback as the game continues to grow. Early Access will allow me to understand what players enjoy, what needs improvement, and what issues arise during gameplay. Their feedback will help me refine gameplay mechanics and guide future development.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“I currently estimate that TepuLink will remain in Early Access for approximately one to two years. This is a tentative timeframe and may change as development progresses. The transition out of Early Access will depend on the game's overall state, stability, and available content.”

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

“My goal is for the full version to expand on the content and possibilities of the initial release, with more areas to explore, additional Tepus, new quests, and improvements to existing systems.

Some of the features I would like to introduce include item crafting, housing construction and customization, multiplayer, server configuration options, and player-versus-player combat (PvP). These features are currently in the planning stage, and their scope may change throughout development.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The current version is in an early stage of development and offers a single-player experience. It includes one explorable biome, the beginning of the main questline, several side quests, combat, six fully functional Tepus, and a map-based navigation system.

Content is still limited, and several systems are under development. During this stage, players may encounter bugs, and changes may be made to gameplay mechanics, balancing, and the overall experience.”

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

“TepuLink will remain free throughout Early Access. However, I am currently considering introducing a price when the game reaches its full release, reflecting the additional content, features, and improvements developed during this period. No final decision has been made, and any changes to the pricing model will be communicated to the community well in advance.”

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

“I want to involve the community through their experiences, suggestions, and bug reports. This feedback will help me identify issues, improve gameplay mechanics, and determine development priorities.

I will also share updates and behind-the-scenes development content on social media, answer questions, and explain the changes I make to the game. The game includes a "Send Feedback" button that allows players to fill out a Google Form and share their thoughts about their experience.”
