How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process? “The price of SCUM will increase slightly as the game gets closer to release date with the initial lower price serving as a 'thank you' to the community that supports us in the early development phase.” Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

The players will be able to explore the island, build up their characters, engage other players, NPCs or wildlife and make simple alliances with their buddies.
