What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“The Yellow King will be under continuous development for years. We're still crafting many parts of the game, but it's ready for public feedback and community involvement.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Full release is planned in 2021 when the community feels it's ready.”

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

“Full release will include many more weapon and magical systems, dungeons, vanity options, and more emphasis on the Player vs Player / Guild vs Guild experience. It will also be published on Android, iPhone, Mac, and Linux.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“15+ weapons, thousands of character vanity options, two infinite dungeons to explore with traps, bosses, and treasures. Our custom MMO engine can support thousands of concurrent players on the same server, and you can explore dungeons together with hundreds of other people in the same instance.”

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

“Early Access players will receive a free lifetime subscription. They are also buying the game at a discount, and will be given exclusive vanity gifts.”

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

“Our developers and artists play every day. You can talk with them on the forums, or the in-game chat system. Your feedback directly impacts what we do on a day-to-day basis. If you want to see something changed or added, it will likely make it into the next update.”
