What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“As a small team we want to develop features players care about the most, the collaboration of Early Access helps allow this and let players take an involvement on what directions are taken.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We plan to be in Early Access for a year. With the Island nature of the game, the plan for the year is to develop iterations and grow a strong Core loop for players to engage with.”

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

“We plan for the full version to have more long-term content to engage with and deeper satisfying moment to moment gameplay systems.
You can imagine harvesting a plant might be a simpler experience in early access, but for full release we plan to have all the nice sounds, visuals and variants to explore and engage with.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The Current Early Access features barebones multiplayer systems in which players can join up in a lobby and mess around with the foundational systems (Shops, Farming, Inventory/Gathering, Movement).”

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

“The game is intended to be free for both it's Early Access and full release with potential expansions/extra content being a future priced product.”

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

“The community is involved from start to end, in helping define what features/systems matter to the community and ways in which they enjoy playing the game and would like to see more of. The plan is to engage through the Steam Forums as a central communication hub.”

About This Game

Hunting the past of your ancestry you find yourself washed up on the lands of Solaria. You can feel the magic flowing through the land and the many creatures living alongside one another but there is a tear in the land, the creatures are at ends, there is distrust among the people, can an outsider heal the damage that was done many years ago and discover the secrets of the Solarian Islands.

Survive - Build - Thrive

(The below describes the planned versions of these features that are being worked towards, while in Early Access these features will exist in simpler forms and grow along the way.)

Survive

Landing astray you need to get your bearings. Farm, fish, cook and fight to survive in the wilderness of a magic land.

Your ancestors journal will come in handy but not everything in this land is edible be ready for wild magic, will the herbs let you fly or put you to sleep for the day? Better do your research.

Build

Build complex structures to attract companions to join you and your budding townships, with enough time you'll be able to grow prosperous towns all over Solarian that feed into one another. On the island of the Grave you could build a place of prayer, blessing your towns with the inspiration of the dead, or maybe you're a combatant who prefers to sacrifice demons at the Gravelands to earn your blessing.

Thrive

You've begun to heal the lands but surviving isn't enough, you can have a wood axe but without proper technique you can't craft a Master-grade tool, perfect your crafts and learn from the neighbours to evolve into the territory of thriving.

The islands of Solaria are waiting so get on the ship before it's too late.
