Why Early Access?

“The game isn't close to being in a more finalized state yet. We're open to take lots of criticism! Players regularly report our bugs to us that we record onto a list, fix one by one, and then patch and we want to continue this support!”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Possibly a year or two. We'd like to get tribes, more hunting, a more perpetual world, and a less buggy environment before we pull the game out of Early Access / Alpha.”

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

“The full version of CS will have more features, get a regular stream of users, and have a more palpable world to interact with by oneself and with friends in the form of mini-games, collections, puzzles, dungeons and kills! We're not sure if we can fit all these things in since this is so long down the line, but we're hoping to put in content that provides hours of fun gameplay.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The current state of the game is pretty weak. We get a lot of game-breaking bugs, glitches and errors. We hope to eventually make a more seamless and bug-free game with your help.
We have tribes, character creation, maps to explore, treasures to hunt for, and of course the community itself is one of the best features of the game. You can find more in the "About This" section on our store page.”

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

“Nope! I want the game to remain free for anyone to play! Premium's price may go up as we add more features, but for now I really enjoy it as is and I think the game being free to try will help people look past a few of the issues just a bit more- not that it's any excuse for any issues, but I think it's easier for people to return after a few years and give the game a try when they don't have to pay for it.”

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

“The community is and always will be a part of the development process! We won't be changing that once a more finished version of the game comes along. We hope our users always take our questions as seriously as we take theirs.”
