Why Early Access?

“People don't like to wait for a game to come out so this is one of the reasons for early access. It also allows you to get hold of early alpha and beta builds which no doubt will have loads of bugs and incomplete features but it is vital to get community feedback to make it the best game it can be and in the right direction.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Because we are an Indie Developer it might take a while. You can't rush a piece of art.
However, we planned for a big early access period to be on the safe side for no more than 3 years maximum. This gives us a big safety net to provide a better quality game and to factor any issues that might arise. If every goes to accordingly to plan it will be less than 3 years.”

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

“Our goal when this game comes out of Early Access is to have a realistic dairy farm simulator in which it will have in-depth mechanics from milking systems, herd and land management systems, and other systems that tie in to provide a balance on automation and complexity so the player doesn't get bored and kept on their toes through systems not limited to weather, events, regional councils. We do not have any plans for any future content, DLC's, expansions once it come out of Early Access.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The current state of the game has only have milking and purchasing systems and mechanics on a rudimentary level. We will be expanding on this throughout the Early Access period along with other systems and mechanics. We have a big list of features to get through. So the game will start out very unplayable as it will be a very early alpha version where things are still: concept / ideas, work in progress, breakable save games, saturated in bugs. We will be slowly introduce new systems and gain feedback so that we are heading the right direction from the community.”

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

“The price might seem high for an early access game for a good reason. The reason for this is to stop people from doing impulse buying of early access games which don't under stand the concept fully. When this game leaves early access, it will remain at the same price as it was in early access.”

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

“Community involvement is very important otherwise who would play the game. Your ideas, suggestions will help shape the game. We will open areas on the forum on steam where you can report bugs, share your feedback and suggestions in order to create a better game and experience.”
