Why Early Access?

“Lucremachine is fully playable and already has a decent amount of content, but we want to make it the best it can be together with its players. Throughout Early Access we'll keep expanding the game, and your feedback will directly shape its balance, its progression and what we add next. Nothing is final yet, so things might change a lot before 1.0.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We plan to be in Early Access for up to six months. The exact timing will depend on player feedback, and we'll post regular updates along the way so you always know where things stand.”

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

“During Early Access, we plan to fix bugs, balance the game, make various improvements and add new features (including metaprogression). There'll be plenty of new content too: relics, boons, coin types, Trek encounters, cosmetics, and more build variety. Gregory, our resident Shoggoth, will get more lore and dialogue, and the best ideas players send us will make it into the game. Multiple endings may come too (no promises, though). Bug fixing and balancing will continue after 1.0, and if the game does well, content updates may follow.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Lucremachine is fully playable from the first copper coin to the final upgrade. It currently has 77 relics, 76 skills, 30 upgrades, 28 boons, 23 "coin" types and 113 achievements, plus one Fihman. New content will keep arriving in regular updates.”

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

“Yes. We want to thank early supporters by offering the game at a lower price during Early Access. The price will go up at 1.0 to reflect the added content and polish, and we'll announce the change at least a month in advance.”

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

“We read everything players send us, and the best ideas end up in the game. Found a relic that feels too strong, ran into a bug, or have an idea for something new? Tell us on our Discord, r/Lucremachine or the Steam discussions, and we'll look into it ASAP. You can also send bugs and ideas straight from the game with the "Report Bug" button in the bottom-right corner.”
