Why Early Access?

“Combining the real-time strategy and factory building genres is an exciting but tricky venture. We want to make sure that we’re involving the community early. It’s important to us that we’re listening to feedback on everything from features to improvements in order for us to make a game that our community will love.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We anticipate the full 1.0 launch to be released within two years from Early Access launch.”

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

“We plan to release the full single-player campaign and 2nd faction with the 1.0 version. We also plan to have a balanced and polished experience at the full version launch.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“We are launching on the earlier side of early access in order to involve the community when we can best affect balance and design changes - be warned that this means everything is in early stages including gameplay, visuals, audio, and game balance. The chances of running into bugs are also high. If you’d want to be part of that journey with us at this early stage, we’d love to have you.

Early Access will launch with several 'test campaign' missions along with a few 1v1 maps for 2 player PvP multiplayer. During Early Access, we plan to continue to update the game to include skirmish mode vs the AI, along with adding PvE multiplayer. We also plan to roll out part of the campaign and second faction during the Early Access period in an update.”

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

“Yes. We expect the Early Access price to be roughly 25% cheaper than when the game is fully released.”

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

“We plan to listen to and engage with our players throughout Early Access. The best place to reach us would be our Industrial Annihilation Discord channel.”
