Why Early Access?

“Games take a long damn time to make. They are also difficult. That's why we are going to develop a video game alongside, and with, the community.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“The plan is to have a vertical slice within a year that demonstrates the results of the developer and community's effort combined. Once we have a general idea of how we want this game to play, look, and feel, the developer will optimise the features thoroughly for full release which could take another 6-12 months, depending on the workload we create from the result.”

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

“Where it transitions from being just another asset flip, to being the Asset Flip of the year.

The end resulting game from our efforts will include features such as;

• Mod-centric capabilities that include; voting systems, featured mods, official suggested mods, community mod suggestions, (for community maps / specific mechanics / game modes / characters / meshes / effects / weapons / and more)!
• Non-linear storylines.
• Engaging AI with a difficulty spectrum (low-high tier enemies).
• Trading card support.
• Community-driven achievements.
• Large open worlds to explore - with community maps being central focus (the developer is not an artist but has plenty of assets to share with the modding community).
• Dev-supporter rare aesthetic collectibles (tradeable).
• Steam Inventory support.
• Publically accessible in-Editor asset library for the modding community to build and share their creations with more asset flipping freedom of choice, for use within the live game.
• Notable UE4 asset developer mentions, links, and recommendations portal.
• And of course, a genuine and wholesome survival experience that you have come to expect in our day and age.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Fresh UE4 template of the fantastic, EasySurvivalRPGv2.

This means that we can choose generic characters, load into a generic world, progress through generic missions, and kill generic creatures. At present there is about 2 hours or more worth of gameplay, and the appearance / quests / themes are off-the-shelf.

You have survival elements such as water and food requirements, XP and level system, building mechanics, saving and loading of worlds and their content, and basic Steam integration.”

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

“As time goes on and more assets and complexity are introduced into the world, more value will be added to the overall gameplay. The price will increase steadily over time to reflect this.”

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

“The community are the developers. Modding is your tool to contribute something meaningful. We will be utilising the Steam forums, and Discord server, to interact and build the game with the players. You are only limited by your imagination... and the assets you wish to flip.”
