Why Early Access?

“We are offering Don’t Bleed as “Early Access” due to the fact we have more to do! From our initial release back in January, we knew that the game was not fully complete; we have aggressively attacked development and within these last six months have seen tremendous progress. We have taken a lot of the feedback into consideration and we APPRECIATE the gaming community.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“So initially we thought that “Don’t Bleed” would be in Early Access for three months however, we were severely wrong, so so wrong. All we can do is laugh about it. After further review we will be in “Early Access” for about one year (fingers crossed). We now have some art freelancers that we can really count on!”

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

“Expect the full version to be loaded; we are focusing on optimization and developing a gameplay experience to have players not wanting to stop playing. Don't Bleed will have improved graphics (buildings, player characters and LEECHERS), animations (improved for all characters, LEECHERS, traps etc...), more traps, more pick-up items, and improved crafting (which we call “upgrades”), more LEECHERS #NOTZOMBIES, more areas to search and hide... This version will provide a more intense immersive experience.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Early Access version of Don't Bleed is stable and has core gameplay established. The early version will allow for the foundational gameplay where each player needs to acquire pick up items to aid in their survival. Also pickup weapons and traps for defense and protection purposes. Each player is dying at the start of the game and has to manage between items and movement to certain target locations and objectives. The entire idea is survival, avoid dying, avoid the LEECHERS, set traps for opposing players and escape the island.”

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

“We plan on gradually increasing the price so we can re-invest into the game, especially in the graphics and optimization. We are a team of talented/experienced game designers, developers and technical artist. The bulk of the funds will be spent on artwork for the game (we need artists, yes artist they are expensive but, we really need them).”

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

“We want our players to feel a part of the development process, we will be taking feedback very serious and using it to improve the overall game quality. We plan on continuing posting development progress and game updates in the Don’t Bleed Community Hub. Stay tuned…”
