Why Early Access?

“Early Access provides an amazing platform for me as the developer to keep in touch with you, the players, while developing the game. It will help me immensely with keeping the game going in the right direction.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“An Early Access period of about a year is what I have in mind.”

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

“I am planning on adding more diversity to the different climates found in the world, like more small details (rocks, shrubs & bushes, etc.), different species of trees, and other terrain features. I would also like to allow more in-depth managing of your village, like different jobs for villagers, better infrastructure like faster transportation methods and better handling of Schematic building. Schematics are one of the first things I am planning on improving, such as allowing more than one villager to construct a Schematic at a time. A more refined combat system is also on my mind.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The game currently supports an open (theoretically infinite), randomly-generated world with 3 different climates (Polar, Temperate & Desert), which alternate when moving either north or south. There is a basic variety of building blocks & materials to use for constructing a village, and the same goes for the tools. Right now it is only possible to have 3 villagers. The Schematic system allows for the creation of Schematics, which is like a user-created blueprint for a building/other structure. At night skeletons come and attack your villages at random intervals, while your villagers will defend with an automatic combat system.”

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

“I am planning on raising the price a little when the game leaves Early Access.”

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

“The priority of an addition to the game will be largely decided by you, the players, through online polls I am planning on hosting. By doing this, I can be sure that I am working on what you think is most important right now, may it be fixing a bug or implementing a specific feature. Online discussions will also help a lot with getting more insight in the player's thoughts about the game.”
