What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“Every time I host a playtest session with my friends, it reveals things I never considered and drastically changes my design decisions with the game. I want to let anyone play my game in an unfinished state, gather feedback, and nail down a fun gameplay foundation.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“This game should be in a free, early access state for about a year. During this time, I will be creating lots of new content, while updating the early access version to refine a solid foundation for the full release.”

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

“The early access version will most likely only have one "biome". The main hook of this game is the highly-randomized procedural generation. Biomes are different levels with different islands, items, enemies and interactable bits. While I update the single biome in the early access version, I plan on creating many different biomes for the full version.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“You can play multiplayer or solo and explore randomly generated island worlds. The game has a very small selection of items to collect, weapons to craft and NPCs. For now, there is no end goal and the game will continue on for as long as you want to play.”

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

“I'd love to get feedback about my game now, so go play it for free!
However, once I'm satisfied with the full version, it will cost money (It wont break the bank though I promise)”

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

“I already run a discord server for my games, where I can chat and gather feedback. I also created a feedback and bug report form for immediate problems.”
