What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“We've developed this title over the last few months and are at a great point for introducing it to the public and getting feedback. We like where we are, but we have a lot more we want to add to the game and getting early feedback will help us tremendously with doing so.

We want to make a game our players truly enjoy and early access is a great way for small dev teams like ours to get player input. We do our own testing as we are able, but no matter the size of the test team the players will always be able to find things we never thought of. We respect that and want to use that for mutual benefit of making better games!”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“With our current planned features we expect about a year.”

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

“We have the majority of the core mechanics in place and the game is very much in a playable state. We have several ideas for how to increase the depth of the puzzle mechanics, RTS control refinement, unit commands, UI improvements, and statistics and Steam achievements.

We plan to improve the visuals of the game to enhance the theme and refine the aesthetics to improve the experience as well.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The game is great and it's a blast to play. We're in Alpha, but it's exciting when you're playing a game you've worked on for months and forget everything else because you're having a blast.

Existing features include:

Hero Selection System
RTS Units
Command structure
Resource gathering
Research tree
Weapon loadout
Retreat system
Enemy AI
Enemy fleet system
Boss encounter
End score
Hero Commander

”

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

“Yes, we want to get players involved early, so there will be a discount until we leave early access.”

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

“We have a discord and we track and squash bugs using a management system. We would love to have user bug reports and gameplay feedback.

Eventually, we want to add an in game bug report to make it easier for players to send them to us.”
