Why Early Access?

“We want to launch in Early Access to build Digging Dudes alongside the players. The core gameplay is ready and fun, but getting feedback on game balance, new upgrades, and future content from the community will help us make the game as good as it can be.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We plan to keep the game in Early Access for about 6 to 12 months, depending on community feedback and how quickly we can implement planned features.”

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

“We plan to add more mineable block types, new biomes and new layers, extra miner traits, new upgrades, additional ascension mechanics, and more quality-of-life improvements. We also plan to polish performance and refine balancing based on player feedback.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The Early Access version is fully playable from start to finish with a solid core gameplay loop. It includes grid mining, multiple dude miners with traits, upgrades, quest progression, ascension mechanics, sound effects, and full save/load support.”

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

“We do not plan to change the price when leaving Early Access. If we add a major amount of new content down the road, we might slightly increase it, but any price changes will be announced well in advance.”

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

“We plan to listen closely to player feedback on the Steam Community Hub and Discord. Player suggestions on balancing, bug reports, and feature requests will directly shape our future updates. Some community vote guided feature updates may also happen between the regular polish and bugfix updates.”
