What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access? “Releasing the game as Early Access will allow us to bring the game to a larger audience and gain valuable feedback from the community to help shape the game and take it to the next crucial stages which will consist of multiplayer, co-op, and first-person mode.” Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access? “We plan to release the full game in early 2020. This will give us enough time to shape the game together with the BUILD community and alongside our ambitions for features that we are also excited to add into the game. The game will continue to be updated with new features and content even after the full release.” How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version? “The two core things we want to add in the full version is co-op and first-person adventure mode. Co-op mode will allow players to build worlds with their friends in the same world. First-person adventure mode will allow players to explore their worlds and other worlds in the first-person mode. We also plan on improving the AI of characters and animals using feedback from the community and also gaining feedback on the different items people want to see in the game.” What is the current state of the Early Access version? “The game is currently fully playable with over 500+ items to build from. You can build using the 500+ available items, command people to do specific tasks, command people on to horses, boats, or dragons, control day/night cycle, and more! We have been developing the game for over three years now and have added many new features and content within that time.” Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access? “We plan to gradually raise the price as we ship new content and features. Players who join us during the Early Access period will continue to have full access to the game without paying extra.” How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process? “We believe the community is the heart of our game. We plan to engage with our community using Twitter, Discord, Reddit, and any other places the community resides. We will be communicating with players every day and our team will be on the Discord server Monday-Friday from 9am - 5:30 pm. We like to have a very close relationship with our community as they play a very crucial role in helping shape the game.”
