Why Early Access?

“Deathlands is already playable however it requires ongoing development and feedback from the community. It is hard to develop a game for a long time without getting any feedback. It also needs testing before the release.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Deathlands will remain in Early Access for about 12 months. However, it really depends on how much more content and features the community wants. I may even work on this game for years and I will be happy to do so if there is interest.”

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

“The full version will have improved overall polish with better graphics, music and sounds.
More content will be added like weapons, items and possibly classes that have a different play style. Some of this already partially exists but has been taken out of the game due to lack of polish or existing bugs.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The game is in Beta. It is not finished. It may have problems. I am sorry for that. Please buy only if you're willing to tolerate disruptions, bugs and changes to the game.

Singleplayer and Multiplayer are both fully working. So far the game has 5 items and weapons. All of the maps are randomly generated so you will never experience the same map twice. The multiplayer feature along with the randomly generated maps create infinite replay-ability.”

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

“Price might increase after release but I haven't decided yet.

Right now it is at a low price to allow people who love early access to start playing the game and help with the development.”

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

“I'm looking forward to receiving feedback and suggestions from you and the rest of the community. I'm always willing to discuss mechanics, balance, features and content on the Steam Community Hub.”
