What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“We want Wool at the Gates to be a rich and varied experience. Due to the nature of the class and faction based synergy systems, this will require a lot of content and balancing. Getting the game in the hands of the players early will help us make the best game we can for full release.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We estimate the Early Access period to take anywhere from 6 months to a year, depending on how quickly we can develop future content for release and address player feedback throughout the period.”

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

“We plan for the full version to have additional content, such as more maps, challenges, and heroes. In addition to this, we aim to include quality of life and balance improvements made by addressing player feedback.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The Early Access version of Wool at the Gates is planned to include 9 unique class types and 3 factions (Humans, Orcs, and Elves) with their own heroes, towers, units, and perks. We plan to have a variety of finished and fully playable levels with unique enemies and challenges. Early Access will be representative of the final project, just with less content and without the quality of life and balancing patches we plan to make before the final release.”

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

“Yes, we expect to occasionally raise the price of Wool at the Gates in accordance with additional content it receives throughout Early Access.”

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

“Wool of the Gates will have an official Discord server that we plan to make available closer to Early Access Launch where players can talk to us about future development and give feedback on existing content. Players can also reach out to us on the Steam forums.”

Humans, Orcs, and Elves fight together to stop the sheep from overrunning the city. Carefully balance your economy and defenses to survive each round. Unpack layers of strategy to optimize building types and locations while stacking class types to create powerful synergies. Replay levels with unique combinations of faction and class types to complete new challenges and gain rewards.
