Will the game have a multiplayer mode?
We would really love to open Meetlight up to multiplayer, co-op, and splitscreen. But since it means considerably more development time, we are not including it at this time. However it is a Stretch Goals, if the campaign is successful enough multiplayer will be fully added in the game design.

Will NPCs roam the entire map with schedules?
For sure, it can’t be seen on the video but each NPC has their own activities, favorite places and they will pass in front of your shop regularly.

Can we breed animals ?
Yes you can, you will then get a mix from both parents genetic. But keep in mind you can’t hold infinite numbers of animals as they live in your place and need food and love !

Is there any combat in the game ?
It is not planned, as combat would not bring anything really original, we choose to focus on the crafting and exploration and not spread in too much features.
But we let this door open, it is possible later on.

Can I save my game anytime ?
When you have to leave… you have to leave !
We made Meetlight so as to be able to save the game at anytime.
There is also an auto-save system (can be set off) so even if you get caught playing at 4AM by your lover you can ALT+F4 safely

Is there fast travel in the game ?
We are aware that the most beautiful game can become tedious and repetitive if it takes years to travel. So we designed three ways of moving around that are evolving and enjoyable but there is no fast travel :
1) The Horse : the easy way of traveling, whistle your horse and go on an adventure ! Just let your friend rest a bit after a long run and eat. (Horses have huge stamina, but still)
2) The Steampunk Minecart : Later in the game you will have the ressources to build cart tracks everywhere. It is costly and consume charcoal, but it is reaallly fast and can hold raw ressources !
3) The Glider : Once you unlock it, you will be able to fly to new horizon! Literally three new area will open to you. And the mountains will seem much smaller to you.

How are keys distributed between platforms and are Alpha/Beta keys only on Steam ?
You can play the Alpha/Beta Access key will be on Steam, and later for the release you can ask for your final key for your favorite platform.
For example, you get Digital Copy and Alpha/Beta Access. It means you will receive your Alpha/Beta keys to play on Steam for the duration. Then few days before release (when Alpha/Beta are finished) we will start distributing release keys on the platform of your choice, and then revoke the Alpha/Beta ones.

What are the Alpha/Beta and release timelines ?
The Alpha will start on October 2023, for a duration of 2 months, then Beta for approximately another two months.
It means the release will happen early 2024.

How long gameplay is ?
There will be 3 chapters in total, you can consider 30h of the main quest if you focus 100% on it for each chapter, and just get the minimum required exploration & craft. (without leveling farming/cooking/crafting etc)
It can easily reach 100 hours if you want to explore the whole map and do the side-quests, but as it is an open world you could really sink 1000 hours in depending on your liking (housing, pet taming, romance etc etc)

What is BackerKit?
BackerKit is a service that crowdfunded project creators use to keep track of hundreds to tens of thousands of backers—from shipping details, pledge levels, preferences and quantities, whether they have paid or had their card declined, special notes, and everything in between!
The BackerKit software and support team is independent from the campaign’s project team—BackerKit does not handle the actual reward shipping. For more information about the preparation or delivery status of your rewards, please check the project's updates page.
How does BackerKit work?
After the campaign ends, the project creator will send you an email with a unique link to your survey. You can check out a walkthrough of the process here.
I never received my invitation. How do I complete the survey?
The most common reasons for not receiving a survey email is that you may be checking an email inbox different from the email address you used to sign up with Kickstarter, Indiegogo or Tilt Pro account, or it may be caught in your spam filter.
Confirm that the email address you are searching matches the email address tied to your Kickstarter, Indiegogo, or Tilt Pro account. If that doesn’t work, then try checking your spam, junk or promotions folders. You can also search for "backerkit” in your inbox.
To resend the survey to yourself, visit the project page and input the email address associated with your Kickstarter, Indiegogo or Tilt Pro account.
How do I update my shipping address?
BackerKit allows you to update your shipping address until the shipping addresses are locked by the project creator. To update your address, go back to your BackerKit survey by inputting your email here.
When will my order be shipped, charged or locked?
That is handled directly by the project creator. BackerKit functions independently of the project itself, so we do not have control of their physical shipping timeline. If you want to check on the project’s status, we recommend reading over the project's updates page.
I completed the survey, but haven't received my rewards yet. When will they arrive?
As BackerKit does not actually handle any rewards or shipping, the best way to stay updated on the shipping timeline would be to check out the project's updates page.
