Why Early Access?

“We have chosen Early Access for our game to engage with our community early in the development process. This approach allows us to gather valuable feedback, understand player preferences, and refine our game mechanics based on real user experiences. By involving our players from the outset, we can ensure the final product aligns closely with the expectations and desires of our audience. Early Access is crucial for identifying and addressing issues that may not surface during internal testing, thereby enhancing the overall quality and enjoyment of the game.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Our game will remain in Early Access for an estimated 12 months. This timeline allows us sufficient time to incorporate player feedback, expand on game features, and ensure a polished final release. However, this duration is flexible and may be adjusted based on the scope of improvements and the feedback we receive from our community. Our primary goal is to deliver a high-quality experience, and we will take the necessary time to achieve that.”

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

“We plan to implement a variety of enhancements and additional content compared to the Early Access version. Planned improvements include expanded storyline with new regions, enemy factions, items and gameplay systems as well as localization to other languages and smaller improvement like gamepad support.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The Early Access version of our game is fully playable and includes the core gameplay mechanics and a first Act of the story. Players can explore a large overworld map, engage in combat, and experience the foundational elements of the game. However, it is important to note that this version is still in active development, which means players may encounter bugs, unfinished assets, and placeholder content. Regular updates will be provided to address issues and introduce new features.”

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

“Yes, the game will be priced at a lower rate during Early Access to reward early adopters for their support and patience. As we approach the final release, the price will increase to reflect the added content and improvements made during the development process. This strategy not only incentivizes early participation but also acknowledges the value provided by our early supporters in shaping the game.”

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

“Community involvement is central to our development strategy. We will actively engage with our players through several channels like our Discord server, community hub and regular devlogs. We intend to publish a transparent development roadmap on the Steam forum outlining upcoming features and updates, allowing players to see our progress and priorities while having the opportunity to talk with us directly on Discord and the Steam forums.
By fostering an open and collaborative environment, we aim to build a strong community that feels invested in the game's success.”
