What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“First of all it's for getting fund to improve my game. That's why it's half priced until full release. As you can imagine as a sole developer it's hard to make everything good and noticed bad or good things that's why I want and need to see the response of the players.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“I want to finish the game in a year.”

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

“This is my first serious project and I did it over and over again and couldn't finish it. I made many mistakes and learned a lot during this process. First of all, I should keep the game model I planned more compact and not build other mechanics before completing the main game mechanics. While creating exciting complex designs, I always forgot that I was a single person. I went into a spiral that I couldn't finish after 6-8 months.

In this sense, I started working again to build the game correctly. I will start updating again as I complete the battle mechanics. I think I will make rapid progress initially with mods such as character customization, which I have already completed but have not been able to integrate.
After completing the battle mechanics, I will complete the world and city mechanics and then add the event mechanics. These processes may take up to 1 year. I want to create a completed game first and move on to the full version. I will continue to make updates afterwards.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“GAME MECHANICS
Game has two different game modes. These are Turn Based Map Mode and Turn Based Battle Mode. Player starts with controlling the capital city of the state and player's main quest is making all liberated cities a part of the state as a Governor. In a year you need to finish this quest and return the state to the President.


MAP MODE

In this mode player can interact with the settlements of the state. Player can build structures in non liberated settlements and give jobs to local population. Buildings are the main source of the income and employees will defend your settlement if need be.

Currently in map mode you can;

- interact with settlements and improve your relations with them
- use diplomatic and / or shady techniques to gain the settlement control
- improve your and employees's skills by working and making events,
- raid settlements, assassinations , rob or sabotage buildings, hunt bandits

These actions change the player's reputation and this player's reputation changes game's respond to the player.
Exp; Shady player gets more respect from shady settlements but if player is

You will be able to;
- Resolve disputes between settlements
- Create special items and build new settlements.

BATTLE MODE

The game system is pretty similar to X-Com and Mutant Zero. There are small touches exist though, such as Manual Aim and instant skill effect with stamina system. You can move or attack as long as you have enough stamina. Also accuracy and dodge system is pretty different from the other similar games.

Currently in this mode you can;
- Move, Dodge, Attack, Manuel Attack, Get Cover against the enemy parties.

action movement in turn base battles
character customization.”

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

“Of course it's cheaper now. I plan to increase the price double when full release.”

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

“Actually I'm new to this. Did i mention that I'm alone i can listen and try valid ideas especially about skills and game play. Thank you for reading this. I hope you gone enjoy this game.”

About This Game

GAME STATUS

DON'T BUY THIS GAME! UNLESS YOU WANT TO SUPPORT ME!

This game is under heavy construction so be careful if you decide to buy it. There is limited game play exist and there are many bugs still can break the game play. You can play the latest version FREE by downloading the DEMO. If you like the game and you want to support me you can buy it. I will be very happy about it.

Game is in playable condition but not finished yet. There are many implementations on the road but you can see the game's future after you play a two or there rounds. I tried to mix the Paradox Crusader Kings map play with X- Com battle mechanics with western theme. As a sole developer I tried to do my best and reached a certain acceptable status. I'm hoping to finish it in a 6 month.
