What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“The development of Wildkeepers Rising will benefit enormously from player feedback in order to become the best possible game.
From figuring out priorities and balance issues, to generating new and exciting ideas, working together with the community helps us ensure the game is enjoyable and meets players expectations.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We expect to keep Wildkeepers Rising in Early Access for about 12 months. But plans can change and it will stay in Early Access until we feel it's properly finished.”

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

“While there are a number of plans for adding content, the community will be the ultimate driver in shaping the final version.
In general terms, we are planning to add:
  • New Wildkeepers and new Guardians
  • New environments
  • Even more enemy variety
  • Story beats leading to a satisfying conclusion
  • Many quality of life improvements
  • Balance fixes
  • Anything else we can think of
Ultimately, it will be your feedback that will help us prioritize what's important and what's not.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Currently Wildkeepers Rising contains three different environments, with an ever-increasing number of Wildkeepers, Guardians and enemies.
The campaign is fully playable and should provide several hours of gameplay, though the story won't be fully revealed until the final version.”

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

“We're still deciding what our pricing strategy will be coming out of Early Access. There is a chance the price will increase if we feel that the amount of content added warrants it.”

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

“We're going to be the most active on the Lioncode Games discord, as well as the Steam forums.
But any and all ways are good to reach us. As a small team of only two people our time is limited, but we'll do our best to respond to everyone and consider every piece of feedback.”
