Hey everyone!

We're back to dig a little deeper into some more of your community questions. Thanks so much for the questions and do keep them coming.

Without further ado, here are some questions and answers for you!

Is there going to be buying and selling like an in-game store? Is it going to be player-driven or all set up prior to launch?

Buying and Selling between players isn't planned for Early Access but could be something we look into in the future. We will have contextual rewards and ideally resource sharing, as there are benefits to working with one another.


Anymore news on the pvp aspects?

Not yet, we have a big scope and are trying to get it into Early Access, so we’re currently looking at a simplified system and then a more dedicated PVP system that really suits Smalland. This is especially because of the way Smalland is designed to be PVE, meaning you can play solo or alongside friends and strangers.

Because of the scope and all the work related to PVP, we’re not sure if it will be for, or during, Early Access, but we’ll update you with details as soon as we can.


Will there be the possibility of raiding different servers?

Not at the minute, with the focus on PVE and setting everything up we have lots of systems and content that we’re planning for Early Access. But, this is what Early Access is for, to see what players like the most and we’ll do what we can to make everyone happy.


We'll keep an eye out for more of your great questions and be back for more with #4!

The pathfinders in Smalland were tasked with going out into the wide world above ground and cataloguing the wildlife that they found. They needed to study the creatures that inhabited the land to help their people navigate this enormous world.

The pathfinders have succesfully found a variety of weird and wonderful creatures never before seen or heard of, so we are going to share some of the expedition notes that the Pathfinders wrote down on their travels.

Here is the first journal entry on the grasshopper.

Today I have studied the Grass-Hopper (or Grasshopper?) They are docile and inquisitive, and seem reluctant to attack. We need not fear the grasshopper.

Some of the Sentinel Guards have attempted to tame a grasshopper as once tamed, the simple insect would transforms into a mighty steed. Sailing through the air, propelled by the grasshoppers powerful hind legs, we could cover much more ground and avoid the various perils of the land of the small.




We'll have more of the Pathfinders notes to share over the coming weeks! Let us know what creatures you want to hear about!

Hey Smallfolk!

We're back to give some answers to questions that we're seeing asked regularly.

We have an amazing Smalland community on Discord so please feel free to join us there!

Here's are the questions and answers we picked out for this week.

Is Smalland coming to consoles?
We will initially release on PC for Early Access with the goal of releasing on consoles in line with version 1.0. We'll have more to share on console specifics a little further down the road.

When is early access?
To be confirmed, we're still working on getting new content in as well as polishing the wide array of gameplay systems.

We are currently working to a date in 2021, but we are not ready to reveal this date yet. We hope to make a big splash with this announcement so stay tuned! If you’re following any of the Smalland social channels then you won’t miss it!

Will there be NPCs? Mini questlines? or maybe small "villages" of other little NPC people?
There are NPCs, these will help guide you through the world of Smalland and help give you information via Quests. It will be up to you whether you want to ignore these and do your own thing or take guidance from them as some of them will have conflicting opinions on how best to achieve your goals.



That's all for today folks! Keep the questions coming and we'll be back with answers for the next FAQ Friday.

Also, we have another fun feature to share with you soon so watch this space...
