Why Early Access?

“Escape the Pacific is an ambitious passion project that has grown far beyond what we initially dreamed. We’re a small team of survival enthusiasts building the game for a like-minded community, and Early Access lets us involve players directly in shaping the game. Your feedback is invaluable, and together, we can make this the ultimate survival experience.

How often do we update the community?

We share frequent updates through posts on Steam and on our official Discord. These updates highlight what we’ve been working on, reveal new features, and sometimes share sneak peeks of upcoming content. We strive to keep our community informed and engaged every step of the way.

How often do we update the game?

Our update schedule varies depending on the complexity of the features we’re working on. Some updates focus on small improvements and fixes, while others are packed with new mechanics and take longer to develop. Rest assured, we’re constantly working to improve the game, and updates will continue for the foreseeable future.

What is required for 1.0?

We have a clear vision for Escape the Pacific, and there are several major features we aim to implement before leaving Early Access. These include:

• Story Mode: A full narrative that takes players on an epic journey across the Pacific.
  
• Improved Mechanics: Enhancements to crafting, sailing, cooking, and building systems.
  
• Expanded World: More diverse islands, flora, fauna, and environmental challenges.
  
• Better Optimization: Smoother performance across a wider range of hardware.
  
• Enhanced Visuals: Polished animations, models, and overall visual fidelity.

While we avoid giving exact deadlines, we’re committed to delivering these features at the highest quality.

What about after 1.0?

Even after we officially leave Early Access, Escape the Pacific will remain a living project. Our plans include post-launch updates with new content, gameplay enhancements, and more. As long as the community continues to support the game, we’ll keep building and expanding it.

Why should you join us now?

We began this journey in 2018, understanding that creating a great game takes time. Building a meaningful survival experience relies heavily on the input and support of our most valuable asset: The player community.The game already offers a rich sandbox mode with core mechanics in place, and there’s plenty to explore, build, and discover. Early Access players also enjoy the game at a discounted price, and your input helps shape the final version of the game.
Good things take time, and we’d love for you to join us on this journey as we bring Escape the Pacific to life.

Pricing?

The price of Escape the Pacific will gradually rise as we approach the full release, with the Early Access price serving as our way of thanking the community for supporting us during these early stages.”
