Why Early Access?

“It is important for us to create an exciting and immersive experience for the user when playing
Arctic Unrest. We know this will require working hand and hand with our gaming community
to improve the game based on direct feedback, questions and comments.

Arctic Unrest is a survival, exploring, salvaging, and crafting game. Arctic Unrest has an
engaging parkour and traversal system when on foot but also includes a diverse set of land, sea
and air vehicles enabling a player to be able to explore a vast arctic world all contributing a
unique gaming experience.

We understand we will have to continue to refine and fine tune game mechanics and systems
based on being proactive with our player community.
With that said, we have decided to release Arctic Unrest into Early Access”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We plan to improve the user experience and the quality of the game throughout early access for
at least a year.
We have a defined roadmap which will be shared with our community for their insights in what
we want to add and then after this is done we will approve new content being added to the
early access of Arctic Unrest.
We understand the importance of having a well rounded gaming expeience in Early Access.
Only after Arctic Unrest has reached a very high level of satisfaction, while playing it, will we
officially release Arctic Unrest.”

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

“We understand we will need to tweak and adjust the balance of the game where needed.
We also expect to add additional vehicle types built on the core set already included in Early
Access.
Additional new areas like more complex bunkers and cave systems to explore are expected to be added.
We also expect changes will be needed base on how a player actually ends up playing Arctic Unrest.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The main game mechanics are in place and stable. The UI/UX is complete and smooth and
polished.
Key POIs are in place and filled with enemy AI ready to challenge the player.
A complete builder system is in place with 3 different types of building materials all managed
with a very intuitive UI enabling players to build complex structures.

The core driving and flying system is working that allows a gamer to drive, fly and or use a boat to explore a diverse hand crafted map.
We have over 200 items, 20 building types, caves, bases, bunkers all filled with content to
ensure a rewarding experience is had while playing Arctic Unrest in early access.”

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

“We do expect the game to increase as the official release gets closer.”

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

“We will solicit feedback in multiple ways with these being the primary methods : Steam Forums,
Discord, X.com, social media feeds and direct in-game user feedback.

We understand for Arctic Unrest to be successful we have to work hand and hand with the
community. Community involvement is a core principle that drives our vision in delivering a
highly rewarding gaming experience while playing Arctic Unrest.

Getting direct feedback from the player was a fundamental key goal we put in place very early
on in development of Arctic Unrest. We met this critical goal by creating a streamline in-game
feedback mechanism. This mechanism is non-intrusive, voluntary and very easy to use.
Because it is quick and easy to send feedback, we are confident it will be used because we
actually use it ourself when testing builds. All the feedback which is sent is automatically
organized by our Game Discord server which posts it in a community public channel for all to
view. We are looking forward to engaging directly with our player base as they use Arctic
Unrest’s feedback system.

In summary we look forward to a partnership with Steam and are excited to continue our story with your help regarding Artic Unrest.”
