Why Early Access?

“Industrial Petting was a solo dev's hobby project for almost a decade, and has needed the feedback and support of players to help direct development. Now a small team is taking this to a glorious 1.0, but still relies heavily on player input to prioritize new features!”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“This game will emerge from Early Access to 1.0 in late 2025!”

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

“1.0 will feature more pets, more biomes, and a richer tech tree! We're adding lore, progression goals and endgame customization to take petting and industry to the next level.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Early Access contains several biomes full of creatures with unique behaviors, and the core mechanics to start building your adoption operation! But bugs are pets too right? Industrial Petting is getting lots of updates so be the first to playtest new systems, find any hilariously janky behaviors, and have the developers personally thank you.”

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

“Since we're adding a ton of new features (pets, biomes, buildings, mechanics, customizations): the price will be increasing after exiting Early Access.”

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

“Your comments in the Community and Discord will help shape the game! We'll post regular updates on the roadmap and development progress, as well as sneak peaks, design contests, and option to playtest new content ahead of releases.”
