The test-group evaluates and tests new features and changes before they are released publicly. A closed test-group of players have access to the latest builds of the game and work closely with the dev-team. Upcoming changes are openly discussed with the community for early feedback. Players are welcome to suggest new features and modifications in the 'ideas & suggestions' chat channel. “We currently use our Discord server and the Steam forums as our primary ways to talk to our community. How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process? “No definitive plans here yet, but it is likely that the price will be increased over the course of the Early Access period.” Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access? We have around 120 building pieces, and about 35 different types of creatures including monsters, animals and bosses.įeature-wise the game is about 75% complete and content-wise it is about 50% complete.” There are about 280 different items (weapons, materials, armor etc) in the game, to be found or crafted by the player. There are currently five fully developed biomes out of a planned total of nine. Single-player and multiplayer modes are fully functional and we have a separate dedicated server tool if you want a server running 24/7. “Most planned core features of the game have been implemented. What is the current state of the Early Access version? We also want to add more types of weapons and build-pieces so you can further customize your viking stronghold, and make it withstand new threats.” We want to expand the crafting system with new crafting stations, and of course more recipes. “We plan to add more content such as new biomes, new enemies, new bosses and new materials to find.

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version? “For at least one year, but depending on player feedback and the amount of content we choose to put into the final game, it may take longer.” Valheim is a huge world and we have lots that we want to add, and Early Access is a way for us to receive constant valuable feedback, collaborate with our players on what they want to see, and keep our players in mind at every step of the development cycle.”Īpproximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We want to make the best game we can, and even in beta we’ve learnt that working directly with our community is the best way to do that.
