The developers stated the importance of this partnership as they continue to serve the community by expanding on and adding new desired features. They also mentioned user interaction and its contribution to the studio, team, and project funding.
Early access gives players an opportunity to play solo or engage with up to three friends to construct an independent colony. Players can hunt enemies, survive attacks, build settlements, accumulate resources for survival, engage in open-world combat, craft, and explore.&nbsp;
Aska differentiates itself from other survival games by allowing players to enroll NPCs in their village. The NPCs can handle the responsibilities assigned to them by players, creating an efficient working environment.&nbsp;
