Why Early Access?

“We want to take the time during Early Access to evolve Ficterra using community feedback. We place a lot of importance on user feedback and will leverage what we learn to implement new and exciting features. There is a list of expanded features to we hope to add too, and Early Access gives us the opportunity to include these in the final version.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We haven't come up with an exact duration yet, but we estimate around 12 months.”

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

“The full version will have expanded content and features developed during the Early Access. We hope to add the following:

• More Biomes
• More enemy types
• Enhanced Combat
• Lots of Machines
• Expanded Modding Support
• Improved Artwork
• Workshop Support
• Steam Multiplayer Server Support
• Vehicles
• More Animals

We also plan to include suggestions from the community along with the above feature list.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“You can play single or multiplayer on countless worlds. Use various settings to choose how to generate your worlds. You can use the in-game modding to create mods, but we are still working to integrate the Steam Workshop. You can reach Tier 5 of the tech tree and craft many items in game. More items and technology will be added as the game progresses through Early Access.”

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

“The price may be raised near the ending of the Early Access campaign.”

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

“Community involvement is integral to our development throughout Early Access. Given the open sandbox nature of this game, there are thousands of things we could add. We count on the community to give us feedback, and guide us in what we include in the core game experience. Modding is a central pillar of our game design. It lets the community create their own content for the game. We need the community to tell us how we can enable them to make their dream mods come to life. The community can interact with us on our Discord, Twitter, Youtube and the Steam forums.”
