We are pleased to announce that Spirit Island will release to Steam Early Access next Thursday, April 16th.
What is Early Access?
Steam Early Access is a great way to get the game in front of a wider audience, and get feedback from the general public to help us make Spirit Island the best game it can possibly be. A game in Early Access is under active development and it will be updated regularly. You can think of it as a step between Beta and Retail release. There will be bugs, and some content is currently not available, but the game is much further along than what you might see in a Public Beta (See Steam's Early Access FAQ for more).
This first Early Access release allows you to play full games with 1-4 Spirits. Most of the content of the core game of Spirit Island is implemented and playable: all Spirits, Power cards, Scenarios, and 2 Adversaries.
Over the next several months, we will continue to add features and content to the game ahead of its official retail launch later this year. Still to come:
Interactive tutorial
More animations and visual effects
Extended music and sound effects
Card library screen
England adversary
Thematic island boards
Steam Achievements
One of the most important aspects of Early Access is hearing from you, the players. You can send feedback (suggestions or bug reports) directly in-game. We will directly respond to players who send feedback, and take all feedback into consideration during development. A public Trello board will be available to keep tabs on our development progress. And we welcome discussions on the Steam community forum & our Discord.
Add Spirit Island to your Steam Wishlist today to be notified when the game is available - you can even save 15% during launch week!
