Why Early Access?

“Unlike the demo version, we have added character development and improved the combat system, but in order to make the final product much better, we decided to introduce the game to the audience much earlier and start collecting feedback. Early access will allow us to refine the balance, understand the community's expectations and preferences, and develop the game that you and we will be equally happy with.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“According to our roadmap, we are going to complete the full version of the game in March 2024.”

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

“There will be more chapters in the final version of Soulbind, and each chapter will contain many unexplored corners and unique enemies. In addition, there will be more abilities and more new items being dropped from enemies, that will increase character's customization options.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The early access version of the game contains 9 locations, 11 types of enemies, 5 bosses. For the main character we implemented 21 level ups, 43 mutations, system of talents acquiring (27 talents), 10 active abilities, more than 100 passive effects,
We also implemented roguelike system, altars and related features (talents purchasing, building and rebuilding the main character, viewing and comparing body parts, viewing mutations), tables for saving body parts, trap rooms, several types of traps for locations, dialogue system.
Currently the game supports three localizations (English, Russian, German).”

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

“Most likely we will increase the price of the game as we add more content. Those players who purchased early access game will receive the first DLC for free.”

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

“The community plays an essential role in the development of the project: feedback they left on the official Discord server or on the community page on Steam is reviewed by our team and used to improve implemented ingame features and to design the new ones. The team reviews feedbacks every day and, if necessary, starts working on improvements or gives advice to the community. We also watch streams and videos and conduct our own broadcasts for the community. We are going to stream frequently and regularly to tell about the progress of the development and share information about features and mechanics that are being prepared for implementation in the next version of the game.”
