Coming Soon To Early Access

The developers of this game intend to release as a work in progress, developing with the feedback of players.

Note: Games in Early Access are not complete and may or may not change further. If you are not excited to play this game in its current state, then you should wait to see if the game progresses further in development. Learn more

What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“Due to being a solo developer working in spare time it can be hard to get enough testing and feedback without a platform to give players up to date versions of the game to try out. With early access players can begin to help test the games balance, how well AI reacts to the player and if the game has anything making it difficult to progress or enjoy.

From this feedback the game can be adjusted and updated to ensure the progression and long term playability and replayability of the game is enjoyable.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“The game has been in development for 4 years and the plan is to go through another year of development and testing in order to stabilize and fully flesh out the existing features.

If the game is stable and works well before this time the game could be released earlier. Equally contrary to this, if the game is not ready and still needs work, it will continue to receive development in early access before release.”

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

“We will continue to plan and develop new features for the game, and stabilize existing features.

As we continue to develop the game, we also plan to continue to add new graphics and additional events into the game.

Our plan during development is:

1. Add additional missions
2. Get the Game in a stable position
3. Implement more creatures
4. Implement a changing economy
5. Implement faction balancing and wars
6. Factions town ownership changes as game world changes
7. Fully automated player cloning

These features can be challenging and have different obstacles for us to overcome, will we use player feedback to help us adjust these features or potentially cut back on when a feature isn't providing value to the player experience. This means that features could change and appear different in the final product.

One feature that is quite large and difficult to implement is a fully automated player cloning factory, which we plan to work towards during development.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The game plays well but has a few issues to resolve and may need some balancing.

Current features:

1. Build your bases
2. Craft items
3. Research items and blueprints
4. Complete bounties for cash
5. Tame creatures and animals
6. Grow your squad
7. Game world battles between factions”

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

“We plan to gradually raise the price as new content and features are added to the game.”

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

“Anybody can join our discord and give feedback and critique for the game, let the developer know what works and doesn't work.

We want to know:

1. What isn't working
2. What is fun and enjoyable
3. What isn't fun or enjoyable
4. Where the map may need improvement
5. How well the AI responds and feels to the player”

About This Game

License To Clone is a challenging Open World Sandbox Survival RPG, created to explore science fiction scenarios in a huge open world, where every decision, every action and every non-action has consequences.

The game is designed as an open world sandbox where no correct way to play exists, opening up the game to your own exploration, experimentation and discovery.

The factions, towns and characters within the world are all impacted by the players decisions.

  • Play in a huge open world of 4 million tiles, no loading screens.

  • Build anywhere and everywhere to help survive, but watch out not to trespass

  • Many challenges and dangers, including huge killer mantis, the deadly desert sun and spliced mutated clones running rampant.

  • Tame creatures or rescue fellow clones, grow your squad or stay solo

  • Over 22 unique species with different traits and abilities

  • Founders are the ruling humanoids with huge health pools and the ability to build using money

  • Dynamic quests from squad members to help grow loyalty and learn more about your travelling companions

  • Balance adventure with relaxing time, ensuring your squads morale doesn't drop too low which can result in splitting up your team

  • Equip powerful body parts as makeshift weapons, or for their useful traits

  • Use mutations to peer into locked containers, send enemies to sleep, and much much more
