Why Early Access?

“We've been working hard on Skullborn since 2019. We've received so much helpful feedback from the community. It has allowed us to get the game to a state that we believe is fit for an early access release to now have even more players playing and giving feedback to bring the game to the next level!”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Skullborn will remain in Early Access for a year, maybe longer. Our development style is very iterative. We learn what features really click with the audience and build off that. So it's tough to plan an exactly how long it will take to bring Skullborn to it's maximum potential but we won't stop until we do!”

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

“More weapons/armor and crafting features that will also be tightly integrated with the progression system.
More player created challenges spread throughout the world.
More enemies to fight and NPC to meet throughout the world.
More social features that help players team up, build, and adventure together.
PvP! Not an open world free for all but something more along the lines of faction vs faction battles.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Skullborn is playable and enjoyed by many players every day! However you will likely experience bugs at some point and we ask that you report them so we can fix them as quickly as possible.

Skullborn has a unique combination of novel features such as massively multiplayer persistent world, voxel crafting, building, UGC, etc. Because of that it has taken some trial and error to figure out a good system for crafting, building, and progression that complements the game's feature set the best. These systems will be changing, especially during the end of 2022 and beginning of 2023. For now current progression can be completed in a couple hours but there is always more to do in Skullborn especially with other players.”

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

“We may change the price of the game eventually but not any time soon.”

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

“In our Discord server the developer communicates with the audience directly. We have channels set up for reporting bugs and requesting features. We also find it helpful to have brainstorming sessions.”
