After a year of navigating through significant challenges and intensive behind-the-scenes efforts, Wild Planet Team is thrilled to announce the early access release of their game on October 23, 2024. This announcement comes after a period marked by reorganization, changes in game design, and shifting release goals.

[h2]A Rocky Road to Early Access
[/h2]
The past year has been anything but smooth for the Wild Planet Team. The journey began with a substantial investment by publishers, but it soon faced a setback when disagreements led to the loss of those publishers & investment. Despite this, the team was able to secure a small support through state funding and grants, ensuring the continuation of their project.

[h2]Adapting to New Circumstances[/h2]

Given the reduced financing and a downsized team, now consisting of just three dedicated developers , the decision was made to opt for an early access release. This approach allows the team to continue refining and expanding the game with the community's support while securing the necessary resources to move forward.

[h2]What to Expect in Early Access[/h2]

The early access version of the game will feature a vibrant and immersive open world. Players can explore six distinct biomes, covering a large map, filled with multiple dungeons, caves, and dynamic events. The next five months are crucial for further development and polishing, and the team is committed to delivering regular updates and enhancements.

[h2]Community Engagement and Future Plans[/h2]

To maintain transparency and engage with the community, Wild Planet Team will be providing a detailed roadmap and regular development blogs in the coming months. These updates will offer insights into the development process, upcoming features, and improvements.

Dear valued community,

We hope this message finds you well. We wanted to take a moment to address the recent challenges we have faced, which unfortunately caused a slowdown in the production of our game, "Wild Planet." We sincerely apologize for the silence and lack of updates during this period. Due to contractual obligations, we were unable to share many details at that time.

However, we are pleased to inform you that negotiations and discussions are ongoing, and we are fully committed to pushing forward with the project. Our dedicated team has been working tirelessly to overcome the hurdles we encountered, and we are excited to announce that we have relocated to a new office, which has provided us with a fresh and positive environment.

We understand that transparency is crucial, and we assure you that we are working diligently to provide you with more updates regarding "Wild Planet" in the near future. We greatly appreciate your patience and continued support throughout this challenging period.

Stay tuned, space cowboys, as we have exciting news and developments to share soon.

Thank you for being a part of the Wild Planet community.

Best regards,
