Why Early Access?

“Deepworld launched in 2012 on Mac and iOS. In 2015, we rewrote the entire engine to support PC and other new platforms, which was the beginning of our time here on Steam. This past summer, we were able to spend some serious time upgrading the engine for a launch on Android, which also helped improve the PC version quite a lot! We're about 95% of the way to "Full Release" but that last 5% is always tricky, especially for a tiny indie team! Nevertheless, Deepworld offers tons of fun stuff to do and it has a thriving, veteran community that has been experimenting with our sandbox for many years.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We hope to finally move out of Early Access in the next several months.”

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

“Our official "full version" launch will include the following currently missing features:

- Emotes
- Private messages
- Butler bots
- Favorites panel”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Deepworld's Early Access edition is 95% feature complete and 100% playable. We've had tons of users enjoying the PC version for years now, and it has only gotten better with time!”

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

“Deepworld is Free to Play, and our in-game purchase pricing will remain consistent now and after Early Access. Also, we've begun adding more ways to earn currency beyond just purchasing, so be on the lookout for free crowns!”

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

“Our community has helped shaped Deepworld from day 1. Up to this point, we've mainly interacted in our own forums, but we're super excited to welcome the Steam community as well!”
