Coming Soon To Early Access

The developers of this game intend to release as a work in progress, developing with the feedback of players.

Note: Games in Early Access are not complete and may or may not change further. If you are not excited to play this game in its current state, then you should wait to see if the game progresses further in development. Learn more

What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“Early Access has been very helpful to us in the past. We have utilized the platform and its ability to reach the community to help us create and launch fully playable games. We want to make sure to get as much feedback as we can on all the intricate mechanics so we will have the best chance to create a cohesive experience.

We are a small indie team of only 2 developers working on FFTA in our spare time. We plan to include the community in the decision making process to help us flesh out more detailed mechanics.

There is no pot of gold at the end of the rainbow for us. We aren't here to turn a quick profit off of asset flipping, loot boxing, achievement spamming, microtransactioning-ing, or any other modern day form of video game debauchery. We are gamers at heart, and we do this because we love games. The satisfaction of actually completing, polishing and watching others enjoy our game is more then enough compensation for the work involved.

We hope to discover and refine as many interesting systems, mechanics and artwork as we can come up with through Early Access.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We estimate it shouldn't take any longer then 6-12 months to fully polish the project.”

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

“The final game should include many new features, mechanics and design elements to fully flesh out the experience. These may include but aren't limited too: New characters, new weapons, new abilities, new perks, new maps, new modes.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The current build is heavily bugged, with many issues spanning many areas. Very few features, broken textures, glitches, broken GUI buttons, game breaking crashes. It is still a very early access game that will require a lot of work to complete.”

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

“The pricetag for FFTA will never change, so you can expect to pay the same price for Early Access as you would at final launch. Any and all future DLC will be released free of charge, and we will never implement any kind of micro transactions, loot-boxes, or any other devious form of monetization.”

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

“We will be active on the community forums, taking community input and feedback to heart. You can join our Discord, message us on Twitter, Facebook or even Twitch to get in contact.”
