¿Por qué ofreces acceso anticipado?

«2021 update: This project is on hiatus for now. I do plan to return to it at some point but it's been over a year since I last posted an update, so for the moment I would not recommend purchasing.

Undholm is a colony simulation game that gives the player control over how their settlement succeeds. For example, you can:

• Dig deep underground, mining ore and treasures.
  
• Hire only farmers and cooks, and gain wealth by trading baked goods.
  
• Send your soldiers out on raiding parties.
  
• Build guest beds to rent to wandering adventurers.

Since the emphasis is on giving players freedom to experiment, I'd like to see how the community plays and use feedback to help guide future development.»

¿Cuánto tiempo va a estar este juego en acceso anticipado aproximadamente?

«Although there's no strict timeline, it's likely that this game will be in early access until around December 2019. This is subject to change as the game evolves over time.»

¿Qué diferencias habrá entre la versión completa y la versión de acceso anticipado?

«Future development is not set in stone, but there are a few systems I'd like to explore in greater depth:

• A living, breathing world. There is a world map in the game, but the world is mostly static at the moment. I'd like there to be more opportunities for factions to expand, and more random events in the overworld (droughts, wars, roaming dragons, etc) that influence how other colonies interact with you.
  
• A vibrant, unique colony. I'd like to add more choices for construction materials and decoration, and have those choices impact gameplay in a meaningful way.
  
• A main quest line. Your dwarves have started a brand new colony out in the wilderness, but the Dwarven High Council has an interest in your settlement's future. They may offer rewards for completing specific milestones.

In addition, there are quality-of-life improvements that are an ongoing work in progress:

• Improved sound and music
  
• Improved art/animation
  
• Fewer bugs

¿Cuál es el estado actual de la versión de acceso anticipado?

«Undholm is far from a finished product, but many of the core systems are in place. Currently, you can:

• Choose where to establish your base. Embark in a friendly forest, or high on a rocky peak next to a goblin camp.
  
• Build a colony from the ground up by recruiting different types of dwarves and keeping them fed and happy. Your dwarves' moods will impact how fast they work, and whether or not new recruits are willing to join your colony.
  
• Delve deep underground, and encounter different types of enemies and treasures.
  
• Complete quests for neighboring settlements in exchange for gold.

¿El precio del juego será diferente durante y después del acceso anticipado?

«The game's price will likely increase by at least 50%. During early access, I plan to gradually raise the price as new content and features are added.»
