Why Early Access?

“Despite being a small team from Kazakhstan, we harbor ambitious goals for our game. We've already mapped out a plan for its full release, but to achieve this vision, we need to forge stronger connections with our community and secure funding to sustain ongoing development efforts.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We're targeting a full year of development, with the full release tentatively scheduled for Q2 2025. However, there's a possibility that we may extend the release window to Q2-Q3 2025, depending on the game's final scale and the feedback from our players.”

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

The roadmap may see updates in the future, but our goal is to expand the list of updates rather than shorten it. We'll keep the roadmap consistently updated on Steam and ensure it's available in all the languages supported by the game.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The game is running smoothly, especially in terms of online co-op functionality, with few instances of crashes or bugs encountered during testing. Our current priority lies in fine-tuning gameplay balance.
Since the last demo released during Steam NEXT Fest in February, we've significantly expanded the game's content, nearly doubling what was available previously. Here's a brief overview of the new additions:
Explore 2 new planets, each with 3 unique locations.
Unlock 3 new Gatekeepers.
Battle against 19 brand-new enemies.
Discover 37 new items.”

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

“We're considering a potential price increase of 20-30% upon exiting Early Access, given the significantly expanded scale of the game. However, this decision is not yet finalized. Rest assured, we'll notify our players well in advance before implementing any changes to the pricing structure.”

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

“Our game boasts a vibrant Discord community with nearly 6k members, where we regularly organize community playtests to gather valuable feedback. We just concluded our final pre-release playtest earlier this week. Moving forward, we aim to expand our community further and remain dedicated to actively involving our players in the development process.”
