Why Early Access?

“Exist is still in early development and Early Access lets you play the game while it's being developed and updated regularly, it also Gives us, BullBox Studios the chance to find bugs and performance problems easier so that we can fix and optimize them without much hassle.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“BullBox Studios has a road map for Exist, on that road map there may be a few speed bumps and potholes to throw us off every now and then but we are look to have Exist out of early access and full release by the end of 2024 give or take, early 2025 at the latest but there are no promises.”

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

“Over time things may change. Things like objects, combat, and general mechanics will be improved or disabled. New lootable monuments will be added. Early Access has limited modes, animations, monuments, maps, weapons, and other little things like animals that will be added as development continues. Community features and extra content will also be added while in early access and beyond. Having it being in its current state, early development allows you to play the basic layout of the game and get used to its current mechanics as well as support us. We, BullBox Studios would like to achieve a well-polished, completed, community involved and optimized game that best suits the gaming community.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“With Exist being release the other day it is in its baby stages of Early Access which mean its got the basic open world and harvesting mechanics, a small amount of character animation, hunting, and a little bit of crafting/building which will be updated regularly and more content will be added too. With that said, this means players will be able to perform a limited amount of actions until the game gets further into development. The players will be able to build shelters, explore the island, engage wildlife, and cruise around that map with their buddies. Early Access will not include high-tier gameplay or mission objectives. To follow the progress of Exist development you can go to our official website and view the DevBlog Just click the 'Visit the website' button on the right and it is in their header. :)”

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

“We plan to gradually over time raise the price as we bring new content and features with that said over time it will only be going up in small amounts and is set to be 50% higher in price than the price that was first announced.”

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

“BullBox Studios will take community requests, comments, ideas, bug reports, and features into consideration and will try our best to implement them into the game. All suggestions and ideas will be closely read by BullBox Studios and we will do our best to respond to each post made. we recommend posting these types of things directly on the steam discussion tab for Exist but third party sites will be looked over too, for example, 'Reddit' if more people want the same things then we can shift a few things to implement it faster into exist and give it a chance. However please be patient though, things take time.”
