Coming Soon To Early Access

The developers of this game intend to release as a work in progress, developing with the feedback of players.

Note: Games in Early Access are not complete and may or may not change further. If you are not excited to play this game in its current state, then you should wait to see if the game progresses further in development. Learn more

What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“We believe Early Access is the perfect opportunity to involve our community in shaping the game. Player feedback will help refine mechanics, improve balance, and expand features, directly influencing key systems like the Holy Order simulation and late-game progression.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We plan to stay in Early Access for about one year. This timeline allows us to implement major updates, including unique national units, original artwork to replace placeholders, and an enhanced Holy Order simulation experience.”

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

“-Updating vast majority of art and level assets - replacing placeholders currently in the game

-Further developing Holy Order simulation gameplay, including deeper mechanics for resource management, alliances, and order-building

-Unique units for key nations, offering diverse strategies and distinct play-styles

-Additional content updates, including expanded maps, scenarios, and polish to existing mechanics”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The Early Access version includes all core systems, such as RTS battles, city-building, and resource management. It also features a functioning sandbox mode, allowing for freeform progression and experimentation.

While the foundation is solid, some art assets are placeholders, and features like unique units and advanced Holy Order systems are still in development.”

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

“Yes, the price will increase when we leave Early Access. Early Access players will benefit from a lower entry price while contributing to the game's development and enjoying the evolving content.”

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

“Community feedback is central to our development approach. We encourage players to share suggestions, report bugs, and provide feedback through our forums, Discord server, and Steam discussions. Regular updates will outline our progress and address player input. We aim to create an open dialogue with the community to ensure CKT meets player expectations and delivers a truly engaging experience.”
