Last Tide on Steam
Why Early Access?
“Early Access will provide us with invaluable community feedback to shape how we continue building Last Tide. Working closely with our community, we plan to build the features and systems they want to see the most, while providing transparent communication on how the development is going. With our studio's experience building Depth and managing over 20 major content updates for it, we're experienced at developing games with an active playerbase. With Last Tide still in development, we plan to release smaller patches much more frequently while in Early Access to deliver content and bug fixes as fast as possible. We can't imagine a better way to develop and improve Last Tide now that the core gameplay is complete.”
Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?
“Last Tide is planned to be in Early Access for around 12 months with a version 1.0 launch around July 2019.”
How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?
“Over Early Access we will continue adding diver gear, bringing in new gameplay features, and continue implementing out of game systems like events, cosmetics, and social features. During Early Access we will be releasing smaller patches frequently, however once we release out of Early Access we will be transitioning to a slower update cycle focused on building themed updates which bring new events and gameplay features.”
What is the current state of the Early Access version?
“The Early Access version of Last Tide is a stable build complete with matchmaking and a fully functioning game loop. Last Tide already features a variety of weapons, attachments, and gear which we will continue to polish and tune based on community feedback. Last Tide also features out of game systems like lobbies to play with friends.”
Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?
“Pricing for Last Tide 1.0 will be announced closer to release.”
How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?
“Community discussion and suggestions will be used to shape the priorities and content we build for Last Tide. We believe that no one knows a game better than the players, so we will be listening to community feedback to help us build content. Building a voting system is also high on our priority list to give players another way to make their voices heard. We are really looking forward to working alongside our Early Access supporters on building Last Tide together.”
