Why Early Access?

“Country of one is a creative sandbox at heart, and as such, it's best developed with input from the community. Early Access allows us to get CO1 into your hands, and your feedback back into our production process as quickly as possible. We can't make this game without you.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We're planning to stay in early access for another couple of years, we've just scraped the surface and we have a backlog of ideas a mile long. As the game gains popularity, we'll be able to hire more developers and artists to help us turn our larger ideas (intelligent npcs and story narration, coop-multiplayer, more biomes) into reality.”

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

“We don't think there is going to be a sharp line dividing EA and full release, we have a few large-scale features in mind (Multiplayer, intelligent NPCS, Storytelling) that once implemented will complete early access development.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“This is just the beginning, CO1 features full creative mode with a large number of building blocks and ability to create electro-mechanical systems. Multiplayer and Workshop implementation is currently under way.”

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

“We're planning on ramping up the price as we add features, this is your chance to get in early at a fraction of the cost. Major features such as multiplayer and intelligent NPCS will all be accompanied by a bump in price.”

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

“Workshop items, Mutliplayer Servers, Voting on Features, Contests and Live Streaming Game Shows will all be a part of our community engagement plan, this is a creative game, and creativity is fueled by our community.”
