Why Early Access?

“We’re launching IfSunSets in Early Access to create an engaging development journey with our community. The game features a unique survival-action RPG experience, with contrasting gameplay loops of open-world exploration by day and defending against undead attacks by night. Our small team of eight is dedicated to building a polished game that provides something truly new within the survival genre. To achieve this, we’re looking forward to incorporating valuable community feedback as we refine the core experience.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Our current goal is to stay in Early Access for about a year, during which we’ll continue developing planned content. However, this timeline may evolve based on community feedback and player response, as we’re always open to adjusting our roadmap and milestones to ensure the best possible experience.”

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

“The game's core gameplay loop is planned to remain the same, divided into two play modes: "Day" and "Night." Within this core loop, we plan to include additional areas, bosses, weapons, and a more extensive progression system in the full version.
We are committed to optimizing and improving the game while prioritizing community feedback.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The Early Access version already includes the core gameplay loop of day/night cycles, combat, and building systems. Players can explore several regions, face a variety of monsters, and take on bosses that bring meaningful challenges. We’ve ensured there’s a satisfying amount of content available and plan to expand it further throughout Early Access.”

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

“We will increase the price when we release the full version. Early Access supporters will get the game at a lower price, as their experience and feedback will be crucial in shaping the final version.”

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

“Community feedback is a top priority for us. We’ll gather feedback through Discord, Steam forums, and our official channels like X (formerly Twitter). Our core developers will be directly involved on Discord, allowing us to engage in discussions and act on your input as development progresses.”
