Why Early Access?

“Into the Necrovale is the work of a single developer, and features hundreds of items. The vision for the game is one that can be played for tens or hundreds of hours, including hundreds of items, hundreds of levels and enemies. Accomplishing something like that takes a whole lot of time and effort, and most importantly, feedback from the community. Bringing Into the Necrovale into it's best form will be a team effort with the community.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“The game should be in Early Access for roughly 6 months.”

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

“My dream in making this game is giving players a place where they can have fun experimenting with making builds, and finding playstyles that they personally enjoy. That will require hundreds of items, each one interesting, polished, and balanced. Additionally, it will require more enemies to challenge the player in new ways, more bosses, more levels to explore and fight through, and more NPCs to aid the player. I plan for the final game to have much more of everything, giving players enough content to dive deep into the game.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The game currently has 2 of 5 zones built out fully. There are currently over 300 items of various rarities that the player can find.”

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

“We are considering a one time price increase upon reaching 1.0.”

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

“The community is an extremely important element in the development of the game. I already have a number of ways beta testers and demo players can provide feedback: an in-game feedback reporting system, the Steam forum, and the CLYDE games discord. I gather all of this feedback, and use it to help find the parts of the game that aren't working, or that need improvement. Additionally, I would love to have users submit ideas for items, and regularly pick some of the best ones to actually get built in the game.”
