Why Early Access?

“The concept for this game includes game play mechanics from both the survival and simulation genres and inspiration from a bunch of different sources for it's other elements. Even though we have a clear idea of what this game should be, giving freedom to the creative process can change it in drastic ways and maybe alter the end result all together. Our hope is that early access can allow more experimentation and help us communicate with potential players so that we can create a completely unique gaming experience.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Our planned time is one year but it depends on the direction the game takes.”

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

“The goal is to make a survival game with an end game in mind. There are three main aspects of the game planned: survival, base building, adventure.
Survival is supposed to allow for drastically different ways of surviving depending on the island the player is on. Each island has an abundance or scarcity of different resources and it's up to the player to manage that and come up with their own playing style. In reality, people have found many creative ways to survive even the harshest environments and we want our game to reflect that.
Base building is planned to be modular and allow the player to decide what a particular part is going to be used for.
Adventure includes the story and end game; the player's goal is to find a way to leave the archipelago and return home. Both exploration and many secrets propel the story forward and bring the player closer to escape.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The current version is mostly just the survival parts of the game with some adventure aspects. Please refer to the "About This" section for a more detailed list of currently implemented features. It will be updated regularly as development of the game progresses.”

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

“The price will remain the same.”

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

“Our hope is that the community could give us some feedback on the direction the game is taking.”
