What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access? “There are a number of reasons why we felt Early Access was the right path for us. Starting out, we were just a small team of avid gamers, working out of a tiny apartment and just barely scraping by. In order to create a game that truly encapsulated feudal life, while also offering an open, freeform and quality experience worth coming back for, we knew we’d have to invest all of our time and resources to accomplish this. Without Early Access, this would not have been possible.



Furthermore, the community feedback has been definitive in helping shape the Life is Feudal world. We wanted to continue to have this relationship with the players. Early Access gives us the ability to collect and integrate player opinions and feedback into the game to help deliver the best experience possible in Life is Feudal: MMO.” Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access? “Life is Feudal: MMO will launch approximately 12 months after the release into Early Access.” How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version? “The full version of Life is Feudal: MMO will be feature complete. We plan to implement ships and basic naval warfare, advanced AI and hostile NPC encounters. We are continuing to add, finish and polish the siege mechanics, along with all of the many others already included within the game. We are adding more siege equipment, siege engines and a number of other secondary features that the community will choose by voting for their favorites. Along with these new features, players can expect a more polished and smooth gameplay experience in the full version of the game.” What is the current state of the Early Access version? “Life is Feudal: MMO enables you, along with thousands of other players, to dive into a living, breathing - and ever-evolving - world. Begin your journey by stepping into an enormous 21x21km, fully realized world, complete with naturalistic weather, day-night cycles, and changing seasons. Explore a vast world; choose a suitable location for your humble home, walled city or strapping fort. Level and terraform to perfect the area before getting to work. Meet new friends and forge alliances with neighbors — imagine the possibilities with a team of people.

Some polishing is still ongoing and you can expect bugs here and there, but from a feature perspective, we believe we have an almost complete game. The features that we plan to implement for the full release can be considered as secondary in relation to the core gameplay that is already present in game.” Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access? “We do not plan significant price changes during the Early Access. You can expect the price increase after the EA.” How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process? “The feedback from our players is exceptionally important to us, which is why we want to involve them as much as possible. To do so, we have consistently provided weekly developer news updates and have regularly asked for player feedback on key issues and game mechanics throughout the development process. We will continue to include the community this way as we move into Early Access. Players can also have their voices heard by submitting, voting for, and discussing ideas on our official forum.”
