Why Early Access?

““We believe that to create an exciting and completely new game, it is very important to keep fine-tuning it based on feedback from our players.

Capri Care is an engaging simulator focused around your capri very similar to other another creature raising game that we haven't seen in a long time.

We plan on getting the original feeling for this type of game back on track and expanding into a larger experience."”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

““We plan to improve the quality of the game by making various improvements throughout early access for at least one year.

Depending on the progress of development, we may consider extending early access or if we are satisfied with the state of the game, officially releasing the game.””

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

““We plan to incorporate various additional elements, focusing on adding new content and balance adjustments where needed.

We are also considering incorporating entirely new game systems based on player feedback and ideas.

In the early access version we are planning to have the base features of the game including 4 Gardens, minigames for your capri to participate in such as Tug of War, Racing, Treasure Hunt, and the Matching Game.

While you are not participating in these minigames you have the ability to build relationships with your capri, breed them and solve puzzles in the open world to progress to new areas and unlock different color capris while building up their stats and watching them change.

Once the full version is released we plan on having additional gardens, additional minigames, a feature to transfer the capri to a mobile version of the game, more puzzles and more features for the capri.

We are adding unlockable Toys and depending on how early access comes along potentially even more for future updates after release.

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The Early Access version includes the core gameplay features and a solid foundation for the full game experience. Players can currently:

Hatch and raise Capri creatures with a variety of behaviors and traits.
Interact with Capri through feeding, playing mini-games, and solving puzzles to influence their emotions and bond with them.
Explore a small but vibrant portion of the world where Capri and their caretaker, Elio, interact.
While the core mechanics are functional, some systems, like advanced Capri interactions, expanded puzzle mechanics, and world exploration, are still in development. Expect occasional bugs and balancing adjustments as we refine gameplay based on community feedback.

Our goal during Early Access is to build upon this foundation, adding more content, fine-tuning interactions, and ensuring a polished final experience.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“The game will not be priced differently for early access and release as we believe that all players should have equal access to the game regardless of when it is released.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“We believe community feedback is essential to shaping the best possible experience for players. Here’s how we plan to involve you:

Feedback Forums: We’ll have dedicated forums on Steam and our Discord server where players can share suggestions, report bugs, and discuss ideas with the development team.
Surveys and Polls: We’ll run regular surveys and polls to gather input on features, creature designs, mini-games, and gameplay mechanics.
Open Dialogue: Our team will actively participate in discussions, provide updates, and be transparent about development progress.
Playtesting: Early Access players will have the opportunity to test new updates and help us fine-tune features before they are fully implemented.
Community Spotlights: We plan to highlight player feedback, fan creations, and other contributions to celebrate our community’s creativity and support.
Your input will directly influence the game’s evolution, from balancing Capri interactions to expanding the world’s content. We’re excited to collaborate with you on this journey!”
