Perché l'accesso anticipato?

“We have spent the past several years developing an ideal system for putting out regular content updates in the form of community map packs and Kingdom chapters while we continue honing our core narrative. The prologue section contains roughly 3+ hours of polished story content that demonstrates our battle-ready foundation. It is our hope that Early Access will give us the freedom to maintain engagement with our devoted community as we give IT STARES BACK the fine-tuning it deserves.”

Per quanto tempo questo gioco rimarrà in accesso anticipato?

“We have several potential pipelines ready that depend on future funding metrics, BUT the rough estimate tells us that the game should be complete around June 2020.

In ancient Ezkaton where all is still, the Doors of Samai' Elah await a hand to split them. Only then shall the empty madness call to thee.”

Quali saranno le differenze fra la versione completa e quella in accesso anticipato?

“

• All Four Kingdom chapters added to the core game narrative.
• Campfire system for hero, weapon, and armor selection to customize your army.
• Looming Tower Leveling system.
• Dynamic world map.
• New game-play level types and features.

Qual è lo stato attuale della versione in accesso anticipato?

“Several hours of well polished, fully voice acted, narrative/game-play content and a helping of free-play levels.

Our pipeline is unique in that most early access games release un-polished, but available front to back. We instead opted for fully polishing the first section of our game and choosing to release additional content that will be available after that part of the story. This method is similar to how an episodic game might release chapters. The core difference being, we wish to release the final product as one singular title and early access allows us to better develop with real time community feedback.”

Il prezzo del gioco varierà durante e dopo l'accesso anticipato?

“Yes. The game's price will likely scale up as we release new content. So tell your friends now! If you wait to join our undead legions, you'll miss out on all the inside jokes.”

Come pensi di coinvolgere la Comunità durante il processo di sviluppo?

“Over the past few months as we geared up for our Steam release, our Discord community has been remarkable by providing feedback, posting lore theories, and sharing art. They've inspired us to begin implementing several new features:

We've recently added "Dreams of The Makers," a play region where we plan to add map packs to the game in regular, themed updates. We intend to use this system to foreshadow upcoming chapters and mechanics in the core narrative. This should allow us to optimize play and iterate designs in a way that closed development would never allow.

In addition to our own packs we are currently gearing up for community map packs. We plan to release a basic map editor, allowing members of our Discord community to share their own level designs with each other and participate in contests to see which qualifying maps get added to the community map packs!

Stay tuned for open development updates by joining our already active Discord and choosing which faction you swear allegiance to. It's not just a community forum, it's our development hub. We do live twitch streams too. It's a real party in there!”
