What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access? “CryoFall is finally in the state where we are happy to share it with the large number of new players and use this opportunity to shape the future development. CryoFall has been in active development for almost 3 years now (including half a year of public access) and represents a polished, stable and highly engaging experience, but there are also multitude of new features we are yet to add!” Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access? “The core of the game is mostly complete, so currently we are focusing entirely on content and new features based on your feedback. We have relatively quick update cycle allowing us to release major updates roughly every month. We are expecting to finish all major planned features in roughly 12 months and do a full release.” How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version? “Most of the changes to the finished version would be new content and features as well as balancing of existing content. The core concept for CryoFall has already been realized, so if you enjoy what you currently see you can be confident that the game won’t stray too far from its established baseline.” What is the current state of the Early Access version? “With the feedback we received during the public access period we were able to make all of the necessary changes and improvements to ensure that the current version of CryoFall is something that fans can really enjoy.



To be more specific the core of the game has already been complete and polished, so you can expect solid overall experience and most features present with very few if any bugs. There are of course some content and polish still missing in certain parts of the game but we will continue working on CryoFall to address all of the remaining shortcomings as the game moves forward.



Major completed features: core gameplay, inventory, crafting, equipment, character customization, industrial manufacturing, farming & foraging, character skills, technology progression (tech trees and groups), map system, quests, building of structures and buildings, character status effects (e.g. radiation, bleeding, pain, etc.), mineral processing & smelting, medicine, chemistry, oil processing, coin minting, trading (including automated trading stations), explosives, melee & ranged weapons (including different ammo types), lighting system & day night cycle, and many more.” Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access? “Possibly. We evaluate the pricing regularly as the game gains features, expands in scope and moves to beta and release phases. However, everyone who join us during any phase of Early Access period will absolutely have access to the full version of the game, no matter how large it grows!” How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process? “We are always open to community suggestion for changes or new content ideas and requests either on the forums and discussion boards or in direct communication on our Discord server. We also constantly run specialized polls for all players to participate which allows our community to express their feedback in a more formal manner. Players can also vote on new features and suggestions on our public roadmap. We also have Facebook, Reddit and Twitter pages where you can get in touch with us and express your thoughts and ideas.”
