📝 Dev Update – Early Access, But a Full Game

[p]Hello Survivors,[/p][p]I want to share some details about how \[Game Name] will launch and evolve.[/p][h2]🎮 Early Access – Already Complete[/h2][p]The game will release in Early Access, but unlike many Early Access titles, it will already be a complete experience from the start:[/p]
  • [p]✅ A finished map (no fake walls, no empty placeholders)[/p]
  • [p]✅ All planned weapons, items, and zombies included[/p]
  • [p]✅ A seasonal event system with collectibles you can trade to NPCs for rewards[/p]
[p]So while it’s labeled Early Access, you’ll be playing the full game from day one.[/p][h2]🔧 Why Early Access?[/h2][p]The main reason is to make sure the game gets:[/p]
  • [p]Thorough bug fixing based on wider player testing[/p]
  • [p]Polish and balance updates where needed[/p]
  • [p]Ongoing support with new items, seasonal events, and improvements[/p]
[p]Once the game is fully stable and polished, it will leave Early Access and become a complete release.
[/p][h2]🌐 Offline Play (Coming Later)[/h2][p]For players who prefer solo play without a Steam connection, an offline version will be made available after release. This way you’ll be able to enjoy the game fully in single-player mode even without being online or connected to steam.
[/p][hr][/hr][p]👉 Thanks for joining me on this journey! Your feedback during Early Access will be key to making sure the final polished release is the best it can be.[/p][p]— Shatterland Dev[/p]
