Pourquoi choisir l'accès anticipé ?

« Beast Survivor is an independent solo-development project.

The core game is playable, but community feedback will be especially valuable while I refine combat balance, beast progression, capture rates, Base Camp systems, difficulty, and the overall clarity of the player experience.

Early Access will allow me to develop the game alongside its players, observe how different builds and beasts perform in real play, and prioritize improvements based on practical feedback.  »

Pendant combien de temps environ ce jeu sera-t-il en accès anticipé ?

« Beast Survivor is expected to remain in Early Access for approximately 18 to 24 months. As this is a solo-developed project, this timeframe may change depending on player feedback, technical challenges, and the scope of development.

Progress and any significant changes to this estimate will be communicated through Steam announcements and development updates. »

En quoi la version finale sera-t-elle différente de la version en accès anticipé ?

« The full version is planned to offer a broader and more polished version of Beast Survivor’s existing gameplay loop.

I plan to expand the selection of beasts and five-form evolution lineages, stages, enemy families, bosses, capture encounters, Arsenal combinations, and Last Hearth content. The long-term roster plan currently contains 152 individually designed beast, although the final number and release order may change during development.

Last Hearth is planned to grow into a more complete Base Camp, with additional construction, building upgrades, worker assignments, Soul Sphere crafting, persistent bonuses, and progression choices.

I also plan to continue developing the game’s data-driven content and modding framework. Steam Workshop support is a long-term goal once the local mod format, validation, compatibility, and creator tools are ready.

Cooperative play and Remote Play Together are also longer-term goals that require separate implementation and testing. »

Quel est l'état actuel de la version en accès anticipé ?

« The current Early Access version includes:

• 20 playable beasts
• Five evolution forms for every beast
• 10 weapon Gem
• Wild beast encounters and Soul Sphere capturing
• Five playable stages
• Multiple difficulty levels
• Last Hearth Base Camp progression
• Constructible and upgradeable facilities
• Beast worker assignments
• Soul Sphere crafting
• Permanent upgrades trough base facilities.
• Keyboard and controller support

The game is fully playable but remains in active development. Content, balance, progression values, interfaces, performance, and some systems may change.

Players may encounter bugs or unfinished presentation. »

Le prix du jeu sera-t-il différent pendant et après l'accès anticipé ?

« The Early Access price is planned to reflect the amount of content and level of polish available at that time.

I will gradually increase the price as substantial content, features, and improvements are added. The final pricing decision will be made closer to the full release and will be communicated in advance through Steam. »

Comment comptez-vous impliquer la communauté dans le processus de développement ?

« Community feedback will be collected primarily through Steam Discussions, player reviews, bug reports, and direct feedback. Players will help identify bugs and usability problems and influence priorities such as combat balance, beast abilities and evolution paths, progression, difficulty, controls, performance, and which features or content need the most attention.

I will review recurring suggestions and reported issues when planning updates, test changes based on player feedback, and communicate significant development decisions through Steam announcements and update notes.

While not every suggestion can be implemented, community feedback will play an important role in determining what is improved, rebalanced, or prioritized during Early Access. »
