Why Early Access?

“Brewhaven will continue to receive balance and content updates over the early access period. This project has a lot of interwoven parts and is created by a single indie developer, so community involvement will give a lot of perspective and information about how to shape the game into the best version of itself it can be.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“I anticipate the early access phase to be 2 years.”

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

“The early access version ships with a lot of content and a rich world. This has been a passion project for me over the course of years. I want to add more features like additional areas, more biomes, more recipes, more enemy types, more buildings, more decorations. So while the full version will still have the same core mechanics as early access, it will be beefier with more variety and strongly tuned balance.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The early access version has a lot of systems in place. Three station brewing pipeline with recipe discovery and quality tiers, village building, player-run tavern nights with dynamic events, complex villagers with personalities and memories of events, dynamic enemy encampment and raid defense, and more. It is stacked with content all the way through and I'm really proud of it. ”

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

“I don't plan to change the price when leaving early access.”

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

“Through the community forums, reddit, discord, other social media. I'll take into account community feedback at every update, and conduct polls and research investigations into the communities hopes and dreams for the game moving forward.”
