Why Early Access?

“Pastures New is the first game developed by Bluecedural and we know we may get things wrong. Early access gives us the ability to use community feedback to fix and adjust aspects. Pastures New is a game with plentiful potential and ideas in which we aim to implement. Early access gives us the perfect opportunity to keep making improvements and adding new content, whilst being supported by community decisions.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We can’t give an exact time for how long Pastures New will be in early access, as there is so much we want to add to the game. However we aim to fully release around two years from our early access release date, roughly the end of 2026 / start of 2027.”

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

“The base gameplay loop will not change, however we will be taking player feedback onboard with the community suggestion to add and improve concepts. At the moment we currently have 4 biomes (Mountain, forest, coast and meadow). We plan on adding more biomes that will provide the player with new lands to explore, new resources to find and new NPCs to interact with. Additionally we plan expansion onto current systems to add additional content and make a more immersive experience for the player. There are also plans to increase the variety of the world with different types of structures and places that the player can interact with.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The Early Access version is fully playable and has all the content and features described on the About This Game section of the store page. This includes exploring a huge procedural world, building, farming, trading and experiencing the seasonal elements of Pastures New.”

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

“We have no fixed plans over pricing, but it is likely that as we improve the game and add additional content that the price will increase.”

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

“We currently have our discord where we encourage the community to create and vote on suggestions. We also have multiple social media accounts where we provide updates which can then be discussed by the community. We want to hear all suggestions and bug reports so that we can make Pastures New the best it can be for our community.”
