GAMEPLAY AND FEATURES Is a campaign planned? Of course! GROUND BRANCH is still in Early Access, which means a fair amount of its assets are placeholder or otherwise not final.
Are updated sounds/animations/models/UI on the way?
We would love to release GROUND BRANCH on as many platforms as possible, but cannot commit to anything beyond Windows PC until we are sure there are sufficient demand and resources to do so. Is the game coming out on consoles? What about macOS and Linux? The game is being developed as a strong and flexible core with plenty of potential for expansion - from content to mechanics - both official and community-made. We would like to support and keep adding to GROUND BRANCH for a long time. For how long can we expect GROUND BRANCH to receive updates and support? If you are not in the U.S., please see the local price for your region in our Steam® Store page. The final price is subject to change, but currently expected to be in the 39.99 USD range, depending on how much content ends up in v1.0.Įarly Access price is currently 29.99 USD (increased from 19.99 USD for the V1031 release back in 2021).
Will the full release cost more than the Early Access? Yes - with the exception of possible DLC and expansions. If I buy GROUND BRANCH now, does that give me the full game with all future updates?
We would like to get some sort of demo out at some point, but have no ETA or predicted content at this time. Will there be a demo? What can we expect to be in it?
