Why Early Access?

“Because of you, my friend. You are our most valuable asset when developing this game. Without you guiding and hating on us, we'd be like Odin without Hugin and Munin: dumb, lost and out of our minds!

Currently, the game has a strong foundation, but not much else. We have all the systems in place to build a great game, but without player feedback we are stumbling in the dark; in the end, we want you to play the game, so the best way to ensure we are heading towards Valhalla is to let you guide us there!”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We hope to have the game out of early access before the end of 2018, but of course it's hard to predict, maybe the community comes with a bunch of awesome ideas, that will take time to implement, so the real answer is - when the community and us are happy with the game!”

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

“The full version will include many, many more hours of gameplay. While most of the content is up for debate, as we wish to build the game together with the community; we do have a few things that can be expected:

• More viking traits that will change the way they act
  
• More buildings and props to decorate your village with
  
• More environmental factors such as water, animals and flora
  
• Difficulty settings, random generation settings and of course mod support!
  
• Your idea here?

”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“In the game you can currently build a small viking village with a functional city-building toolset, and vikings will be strutting around with some basic personality traits. (both of which will be continuously be improved upon during early access).

I'd estimate we're 30% done, and we are looking for your help to determine the next 70%.
The game is in early access - but it bears saying again - THERE WILL BE BUGS and we will squash them without mercy, but it will take time. So we ask you to have patience with us.”

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

“Yes, we plan to gradually increase the price as we ship new content and features.”

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

“This is the most important question.
The way we involve you, our player, into the development of the game, is by doing one thing, and one thing only:

We will listen.
Every time you have feedback.
Every time you hate on us, or the game.
Every time you love something.
Every time you found a bug.
Every time you have an idea.
Unconditionally we will lov.. LISTEN *ahem* to you, and together we can build this game into the giant northern Jörmungandr it deserves to be!”
