Why Early Access?

“We know from previous experience that games like ours have dedicated and passionate fans, and we want to involve them in the development of Goblin Camp as soon as possible. Their feedback will be very valuable to us.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We have a fairly strong vision of what we think the game will look like when it's ready for a full release, and right now, we believe we can reach that in one or two years. We also have lots of ideas for what we want to do with it after release!”

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

“Goblin Camp's development during Early Access will be guided by player feedback. It will help us decide what features to prioritize and where to focus our development resources.

We plan to expand the technology tree, introducing new buildings, materials, spells and crops. New enemies are also planned, as well as changes to map generation to make more varied maps and ensure each playthrough is unique.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Core gameplay has been implemented: players will need to house and feed their goblins, and protect their settlement from various enemy attacks on procedurally generated maps. They can develop technology and unlock new production chains, structure tiers and spells for the shaman. Feedback from our playtesters says there's plenty to do already! The game features complex water, fire and wind simulations, and advanced goblin autonomy: the inhabitants of your camp know how to look after themselves, at least a little bit, and how to acquire the components they need to make whatever you tell them to, so no tiresome micromanagement is necessary.”

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

“We will be charging a reduced price for Early Access to reflect the fact that the game is still very much under development.”

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

“We encourage players to join us on the Steam forums, our Discord server and on Mastodon to discuss the game and give us their input. We blog and post on social media regularly to keep the community up to date on what we're working on. We've already gotten valuable feedback from our first playtest, and look forward to hearing more from our players.”
