What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“In development for over three years, 'Live and Learn' has a deep, rich universe with a huge amount of content, story and world-history. Much of this material can be used for the enhancement of the players' real-world lives.

Early Access provides the opportunity to learn what is most important to our player community so that we can prioritize which content to release through updates first.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We anticipate that 'Live And Learn' will be in Early Access for 12 months before Version 1.0, containing all of the updates up until that time, is released. During this 12 month period, updates will be released on a weekly schedule.”

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

“The Early Access version of 'Live And Learn' primarily takes place on a single large island populated by a race of squirrel-people. In the full version, we plan to add further visitable countries and animal races, expanding upon appearances by other races on the initial island during the Early Access period.

Continuous improvement of Sambiglyon's custom-built technologies powering 'Live And Learn will also ensure that the interaction and gameplay possibilities in the full version will be significantly advanced on those available at the start of the Early Access period.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The Early Access launch version of 'Live And Learn' provides an island to freely explore, NPC characters to interact with and sandbox gameplay in a physics-driven world. The innovative full-body control of the player character means that players will have extensive opportunity for experimentation and self-directed exploration.

During the Early Access period, world content, story content and goals will be added to provide additional directed gameplay opportunities to accompany player-created activities.”

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

“The Early Access version of 'Live And Learn' will launch at a low-end price range comparable with other Early Access products and then increase upon leaving Early Access to reflect the extensive content and features that will have been added during the initial 12 month period.”

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

“Player feedback will be central to the development of the 'Live And Learn' world during and after Early Access. to gauge their wants, needs and concerns. A weekly release schedule of updates will enable rapid response to player communication to address bugs and deliver the best play experience possible.

Feature roadmaps will let players see what is being worked on by Sambiglyon and offer their own suggestions for future features.”

About This Game

How would life on Earth have developed if the asteroid that caused the extinction of the dinosaurs had missed our world and split the Moon instead? When the planet's gravity is changing twice a day, it takes a special breed to stand above the rest of the animal kingdom.

Explore the island of Skyline, the home nation of the walking, talking squirrel people who have displaced humans at the top of the evolutionary tree. Gifted with extraordinary physical, mental and military prowess, the globe-spanning squirrel empire is the envy of the world … and the focus of its fears. An uneasy peace between unequal species has endured for decades, but change can come swiftly.

A PHYSICS-DRIVEN WORLD

The island od Skyline and its surroundings are your sandbox to live in and play with, testing almost endless strategies and approaches to situations. The only tutorial needed is your own experience of how the real world works.

TOTAL BODY CONTROL

The advanced 'CamAnims' character animation system custom-developed for Live And Learn over a period of three years provides unsurpassed realtime fine-control of the player's body and limbs, using control layouts that are intuitively natural. Every problem in the game world can be approached in the same way that you might approach it in real life with your own body.

REALISTIC OBJECT HANDLING AND WEIGHT PHYSICS

Pick up, carry and drop objects with your player character's hands, using one hand or both. Every object has a mass that affects mobility, enabling flexible balancing of held objects for different character builds (lightly equipped and vulnerable but fast moving, heavily equippe and well protected but slow, etc).

Object mass also realistically influences the movement speed of the limbs and body, with quick arm swinging of lightweight objects and slow swinging when holding heavy objects. Movement actions such as walking / running, jumping and side-stepping are also altered by the total carried mass.

FLESH SENSITIVITY

Each part of the player character's body has impact-sensitive flesh that can determine the strength of impacts applied ot it and generate the appropriate level of pain response.

Severe pain reduces the effectiveness of that body part, enabling enemies or opposition players to deliberately target and wear down those part. The injured player, meanwhile, has the opportunity to counter with other body sections until the pain in the affected parts has subsided, restoring their full function. The intensity of physical pain and emotional states is also reflected in the facial expressions of characters, providing visual feedback to friend and foe alike.

CREATE YOUR OWN CHARACTER

Create and name your own custom squirrel character from a wide range of personalization options.

OFFLINE SINGLEPLAYER AND MULTIPLAYER

Play solo or with up to three players on the same computer in split-screen view. Work together in co-op or duel each other for honors.

ONLINE MULTIPLAYER

Go online on your own or with a team of up to eight players on your computer and host an online server or join a server.

The number of players that can be hosted in an online session or join an existing session as clients is dictated by the specification of the host and client computers.
