Why Early Access?

“We had a great experience doing Early Access with our previous game, Aground - incrementally adding content and getting feedback to improve the game before our full launch. Our goal is to involve the community to expand and build upon the game, polishing it until it shines.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“It depends on how much feedback and how many changes we end up making to the game, but I'm expecting it to be in Early Access for around a year.”

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

“In addition to minor improvements and quality of life changes, we want to expand the questline for the surface from the early access version, add the ending to the game, and allow the player to build a spaceship. We are also considering plans for being able to use that spaceship to travel to the moon or other planets (I think a moon base would be really cool, especially since you couldn't travel to the moon in the original Aground). We would also consider adding a magic path and bosses based on player feedback.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The Early Access version of the game currently lets you build an underground base (as in the demo), and expand upwards. You can complete quests, meet the Professor and the Scavenger, explore the subways, build vehicles and eventually reach the surface. This is the core of the game, but as explained above, we want to add more to the surface area and questlines, a strong ending, and building a spaceship.”

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

“We may raise the price when we leave Early Access.”

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

“We'll be listening to feedback and discussing the game's development and potential features in the Steam Discussions and our Discord server.”
