Dlaczego wczesny dostęp?

„Despite the fact that before publishing a game in Steam store we made a huge scope of works on game development, and made internal testing of the alpha version, which was lasting for little more than a year, we think that our game is not ready enough to get the stats of final version. At the moment, the game contains a great amount of game content, designed for many hours of gameplay, but there is a big stock of new ideas and game possibilities in our plans. We think, that Early Access allows involving a bigger number of players to Will To Live Online universe, which gives the possibility to Steam game community to take active part in game development, and for us this is a financial support for future development of the game.”

Players may create up to 4 different characters and adjust their appearance: select sex, stature, face, clothes, colors, etc. The class system of characters and the system of skills development are implemented, which might be changed during the game.

The game contains basic craft opportunities, such as cooking and brewing with the campfire, construction of simple inventory items, mining of different minerals and steel production. There is a possibility of trade between players in the game. We realized the opportunity to add players to the groups; voice communication and text chat are available.

As the game contains basic elements of surviving, players will face the search for sources of water and food. Hunting is one of the ways to get food. For this, besides monsters, regular animals exist in the game: hens, rabbits, foxes, and deer.
