How does purchasing Samsara during Early Access support those aspiring creators and game developers who worked on the project?

INFINITY27, an indie game studio and Unreal Authorised Training Center, has self-funded the Samsara project to ensure we can build a game that acts as a platform for aspiring talent to practice their craft, gain experience, and earn credit on a live project. Your support will enable us to continue running our studio while investing in creating free opportunities for individuals and professional game developers through our bespoke training and experience programs. Your support directly helps secure and prove the viability of the project for future learners, up to and beyond the May 2025 final release, allowing us to maintain and grow this unique and much-needed opportunity to reach more aspiring developers who love making games as much as you love playing them but need a chance to prove they can create fantastic content that people love and wish to support financially.

What will be included during the Early Access period?

Around two-thirds of the content for Samsara will be playable at this stage. This includes visiting three out of five main levels ("continents"), as well as all six playable characters, with a whole host of spells, weapons, enemies, etc. The game is not feature-complete and will not include all of the content that will be added upon its final release in May 2025. An additional playable character, as well as the remaining continents and story elements, will be added at that time.

What is the current state of the game?

We designed Samsara for Early Access from the ground up. We believe everything about this game benefits from ongoing feedback, from the balancing to the storytelling.
Samsara in Early Access has environments, enemies, player characters and more. But it isn't fully complete yet, and more key areas, characters, foes, narrative, and systems are still on their way.

For our Early Access launch, we wanted Samsara to be far enough along that as many players as possible could have a great experience from the onset, yet not far enough along that it's too late in development for us to act on the feedback we receive.

You may reach points in the game where it becomes clear that you've reached the end of the current content. Furthermore, various interface screens and other art are still a work-in-progress, along with various other aspects of the presentation.

How long will the game be in Early Access?

Six months. Full release is scheduled for May 12th 2025.

How often will you be updating the game?

We will be working on the game continually until the full release, with updates being pushed every six weeks, starting 14th Feb 2025.

Will my progress be saved during the updates?

We are working to ensure that player progress is saved with each update.

Will the price change when the game leaves Early Access?

No.

Can I provide feedback and bug reports?

Yes. We deeply value player feedback and issue reporting.
You can do so by completing the feedback and bug reporting button found in our in game pause menu.
