The Early Access Release is today!



Greetings Survivors,

after more than 150 years and many generations in the Endzones, we are finally ready to venture to the surface again. The last 6 weeks in Closed Beta have already shown us some dangers and taught us important lessons. Now it's time to found a new civilization and start a new attempt on the earth's surface in Early Access.

[h3]Endzone - A World Apart starts with a 15% Launch Discount for 2 weeks![/h3]

You can now also buy the "Save the World Edition" on Steam and get access to the official Soundtrack of Endzone - A World Apart.



We made it, Survivors!
Since the announcement in October, there has been a very fast growth within the fan community. We hope that the Early Access will strengthen this even more. The Closed Beta gave us a deeper insight into your gaming behaviour and showed us early on possible optimizations and frequently mentioned wishes. It was a good opportunity for us to collect feedback and to adjust the further development steps with regard to the upcoming Early Access. We are really happy about the awesome feedback we received from our community that has build itself over the last months. We wish you a lot of fun and encourage you to keep the feedback coming!




Savegames
  • During Early Access we can not guarantee savegames to work across updates. We will do our best to avoid broken savegames and ensure compatibility, but there will be cases where we will have to make a clean cut and break support for older files.
  • Closed Beta savegames are no longer compatible with the Early Access release version and can not be loaded from the Main Menu.
UI
  • The Statistics View is currently very rudimentary and not fully implemented. Enhancing this view as well as giving more insights into the state of your settlement will be part of further updates. The first of this kind is planned as a sidetrack in May.
  • We translated the game into several languages right from the start. However, due to the dynamic nature of the game and our fast iteration cycles, some translations may be outdated or wrong. If this is the case we are happy if you could point out any translation issues.
  • Parts of the User Interface are subject to change due to user feedback and internal decisions to improve the overall experience.
Features
  • The game currently features a first prototype of our Side Mission system. This system will be overhauled as one of the first steps during the Early Access. Our target is to better integrate Side Missions into the game flow, to improve concerning feedback and to embed them into small narrative snippets around your settlement with more challenging goals.
  • At Early Access release the game features all core mechanics in a challenging and intriguing sandbox mode as well as some mid-game features like Electricity. Lategame content is our main focus and will be enhanced during the further development of the game.
  • Local Expeditions are part of our first Early Access milestone. However, small fractures of this feature might already be visible in the game and might lead to confusion.
Bugs
  • The logisticians of Markets currently ignore the restrictions set on the building that limit which resources should be stored in this building.
  • If the Game Time is paused the Task Completed window of a finished mission on the bottom of the screen is delayed until the Game Time is unpaused.

[h3]At the start of Early Access, we managed to achieve just over 100.000 wishlist entries![/h3]



Thank you for your support! With 100.000 wishlist entries, we will now be planting another 500 trees which sums up to a total of 2.000 trees already!

With the start of Early Access we want to plant even more trees. Together with the non-profit organisation OneTreePlanted, we will plant one additional tree for every "Save the World Edition" sold. You can get it on the Steam store page. In addition, you'll also receive the official Endzone - A World Apart Soundtrack.
