Why Early Access?

“I am a single developer that has a lot of experience playing games, but little making them. I would like feedback from the community as Frontera is being made. From improvements to features and UI to new suggestions, I will take a look at them all though make no guarantees of implementing them.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“I would like to get a feature complete 1.0 version out around the end of the first quarter of 2024.”

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

“There are many tiers of material and building upgrades planned and associated ways to gather them. Randomization will be improved on the settlement map and implemented in the overworld map. A tech tree is planned to unlock these materials and upgrades to production. Unit needs/wants and skill levels for work will be planned. Combat is intended to be improved with different enemies and ways to influence battles other than stats.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“When comparing with the About This section:
Currently only the first tier of materials is available to use in building and production.
Units can build, produce, and shop but can not yet use bought items to provide more productivity. Unit needs/wants system is not currently implemented.
Can use money to buy more units but can not use for expansion or trade yet.
Unit draft and combat is implemented but planned to be improved still.
Two resource nodes are available and capturable.”

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

“I would like to raise the price as the game is nearing completion.”

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

“I would like to read community feedback and suggestions in the Steam discussions. I plan on reading everything but make no promises as to implementation.”
