Why Early Access?

“Crystal Effect: Elemental is still in active development and not yet a complete experience and that’s exactly why we’re releasing it in Early Access.
As a small, passionate team of three developers, we know that the best version of our game will come to life with the help of the community. We’re committed to refining gameplay, fixing bugs, expanding systems, and adding more depth based on your input.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“While we haven’t set a fixed release date yet, we plan to keep the game in Early Access for approximately 6 to 12 months. During this time, we’ll be focusing on adding more content, improving balance, and polishing the overall experience based on player feedback.
We don’t want to rush the process our goal is to release the full version of the game only when it’s truly ready. The timeline may shift depending on the feedback and involvement from our player community.”

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

“We plan to expand and refine the content over time to create a richer gameplay experience in the full release.
Planned additions include:
-New enemy types and more challenging night waves
-Additional elemental crystals and strategic abilities
-Expanded city-building systems
-New resource types and production mechanics
-Enhanced atmosphere”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The Early Access version includes the core gameplay mechanics and the main gameplay loop. You can defend the main crystal, build a basic town, fight enemy waves, manage resources, and maintain your happiness level.”

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

“As a thank you to players supporting us during Early Access, those who purchase the game before the full release will benefit from the current price before any potential increase.
We plan to gradually raise the price as we add new content and features during development.”

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

“The feedback from our community is incredibly valuable to us. Our goal is to actively listen to players, consider their suggestions, and adjust our priorities based on what the community needs and enjoys most.

You can reach out to us through Steam discussion forums or social media. Knowing what players enjoy, what issues they encounter, and what features they’d love to see will be our biggest guide in shaping a better game experience.”
