Varför Early Access?

“Master of Wills has just completed the 4 year development of its tabletop cyberpunk classic board game and is now turning its focus towards Master of Wills online. Now the time has come to open up the world of MOW to the PC gamer.

Early Access is important to the Master of Wills game for a variety of important reasons. In order to develop out the features of the game, we rely heavily on community participation and feedback. We have world that has been developed over many years based on the driving force of our Community. In order to accomplish this, we must continue to advance the game while players participate in something stable but with new features that likely will have bugs from time to time as we role them out. However, the game has reached its stable format for the base play which will allow us to keep the gameplay stable.”

Ungefär hur länge kommer det här spelet att vara i Early Access?

“We expect the game to stay in Early Access until 2022.”

Hur är det tänkt att den fullständiga versionen ska skilja sig från versionen i Early Access?

“First, we have a very wide ranging plan of developments to add to the game including a vast campaign / story mode, an expansive "tower" system that we call Battlestage, the ability to add mutations to cards to create variant cards, expanding to 8 Factions and many more additions that require players to participate while we develop out the full system.

It's just like the board game because we developed two Factions to build the initial game but expanded to the planned 8 Factions which included Alphaguard, Razorcorp, Dawnlight, Shadowcell, Cloudecho, Edgehunter, Bloodcrown and Waterborne. The last four will be added over the next year or so.

Our biggest and most long term feature is called the Fringe Wars (or Faction War) in which the entire Community is participating in a seasonal battle to control the City of Novus with real time map updates for sector control. This is a very complex and incredible system that will take us some time to develop.”

Hur är det nuvarande läget i versionen med Early Access?

“Master of Wills is currently ready for player vs player competitions, single player mode, training and AI play, profile management, match history including watching previous matches, profile customization, missions/achievements, friend chat, syndicate (team) creation, league play and deck building with other card management options. It is stable and ready for a great experience.”

Kommer spelet att prissättas annorlunda under och efter Early Access?

Hur planerar ni att involvera gemenskapen i er utvecklingsprocess?

“The Community is the most important part of Master of Wills. They have been the driving force behind many of the advances and additions we've made to the game. In our Discord, we listen to the comments and discuss future plans directly with the Community and implement ideas that make sense. Joining our Discord channel is the quickest way to get your ideas heard and developed. We will also be participating in the Steam community features as well to bring the Community together here.”
