Why Early Access?

“We'll be shipping Early Access with a complete Act 1 experience. We want to deliver it to the gaming community as fast as possible to gain the feedback we think is important to the game's success. We'll use this feedback to build out Acts 2 & 3. By being able to involve players directly in the game’s development, we are certain the game will be of a much better quality as a result.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Between 1-2 years is our current plan.

It is difficult to predict how long Early Access will last. We have a number of goals that we are working towards and we’re focusing on delivering good quality additions at a reasonable pace. At the end of the day, we're dedicated to making We Might Die the best game possible, however long that takes.”

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

“We have 3 Acts planned with a total of 9 unique boss fights and at least 20 enemy types. Throughout Early Access, we will release a number of updates that add new content to the game. We are planning on three different types of updates: Content Updates, Balancing Patches and Hotfixes.

• Content Updates are major updates that have an overarching theme and occur only a few times in a calendar year. They include major features, new ships, enemies, mods, and missions.
  
• Balancing patches happen more often. These may include features, bug fixes, or anything not formally part of a Content Update.
  
• Hotfixes are more small updates to target balancing and fixes for the game.

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“We'll launch Early Access with a complete Act 1, which will contain 4 Boss fights, 20+ enemies, 100+ mech mods, over 50 unique abilities, and the first batch of assets used by our procedural mission generation systems. The player will also be able to unlock over 150+ nodes in the homeship tech tree.”

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

“Looking at our plans for the title and where we want it to be when we bring it out of Early Access, we will likely be increasing the price. However, this means that any support during Early Access will not only help us shape We Might Die, but you’ll also be getting the game at the best possible price.”

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

“We want the community to be directly involved in helping us shape the development of We Might Die. We're using our official Discord server to gain feedback, but we've also developed an in-game form that players can use to report bugs or suggestions.”
