Varför Early Access?

“We’ve set out on this journey as a small boat trying to make big waves. When you paddle along, the waves will be even more exciting!

From the very beginning we felt that publicly sharing our game would be a great bonus. Early Access enables us to involve you in the development and create an ever richer experience. Town builders and open worlds are particularly suited for this process. Help us salvage this polluted scrap and garbage to shape it into a beautiful town!”

Ungefär hur länge kommer det här spelet att vara i Early Access?

“We have a lot in store for Flotsam, and we’re planning on realizing the full potential of the gameplay. We’ll be working on regular patches in Early Access until we feel the game is ready to ship. Looking at the planned content, this will take a few years.”

Hur är det tänkt att den fullständiga versionen ska skilja sig från versionen i Early Access?

“We want the full version of Flotsam to be a completely replayable experience, with an ever changing world, with new biomes to travel to, with more varied landmarks. Keeping player feedback in mind, the plan is to enrich this world with more ways of interacting with the different landmarks and their inhabitants. With multiple options of salvaging, scouting and traveling the world and ways of using resources.

We plan to have more guidance with game spanning quests, crafting pipelines, and extra stories about the flooded world.
For example drifters, including the animals you rescued, might evolve to have more varied needs, quirks and abilities. Some might be unlocked as starting characters.
We aim to add more buildings and boats, enabling you to face increased threats to your town.”

Hur är det nuvarande läget i versionen med Early Access?

“The described features on the store page are already implemented in the game.”

Kommer spelet att prissättas annorlunda under och efter Early Access?

“We respect every cent spent by early supporters. The price of Flotsam will increase by about 20% when we move out of Early Access.”

Hur planerar ni att involvera gemenskapen i er utvecklingsprocess?

“You can help us sift through the flotsam scrap and provide feedback to the Early Access via ingame tools or by using . We keep you informed of our changes and design decisions during this process because we feel it’s vital to remain in sync with our drifter community.
Updates on the roadmap, patches and progress will be shared through Discord. Regular updates will be posted on Facebook and Twitter.
We have an active Discord where we deal more directly with the community and your feedback and suggestions. This feedback will be our compass for every update we make.”
