We have some bigger news to share today! As promised in the previous week, we are now announcing the release date of Simpocalypse!
…we are less than a month away, from releasing into Early Access, where you will be able to play the full version of Simpocalypse! If you played our demo, this will dwarf it in size and general game polish!
So,(drumroll) ... we are excited to announce that Simpocalypse will be going into Early Access Release on December 15th (2020 for sure! 😊).
Why we've decided for an Early Access release
Simpocalypse has a lot of depth with different mechanics where balancing things is crucial to deliver a great gaming experience. With Early Access, we want to ensure we have enough time to work with our players to properly balance and adjust features, as well as ensure a great player onboarding so new players are not overwhelmed by the depth, but rather eased into the game's replayable simulation experience! It will also give us the option to expand the game features and make sure they are built off a great foundation.
We will also use Early Access as a platform to polish the features, add interesting Quality Of Life features based on players' feedback, add/expand on features, add a ton of Achievements, different game modes, improve on replayability, extend late-game content, add more automation and quality of life features as well as translate the game into as many languages as possible!
The Early Access version of the game should provide great value for your money at all times, as we already have:
- 13 bigger content groups to unlock over time,
- 13 civilization stats to balance,
- 9 citizen jobs,
- 25 different buildings,
- 81 different research upgrades,
- a prestige with a perk point system,
- a massive world to conquer (7 continents, 400+ regions, 8000+ territories, 72000+ zones).
A single playthrough requires 20+ hours of active time WHILE utilizing the timelapse feature with up to x10 sped-up game time. If you enjoy replayability with prestige and speed-running combined with the procedural world generation and random events, it can even offer 100+hours of playtime to the most hardcore players…
We intend to stay in Early Access for 3-6 months so we can add and polish a ton of content, and with help of our early players make sure we will deliver the best game possible!
Getting Simpocalypse while in Early Access will also be much cheaper for you than after the eventual full release, as we want to give you great value for your money at all times, especially to those joining our Early Access and helping us shape the game! So make sure to wishlist and be ready to grab it on the launch date.
