Why Early Access?

“At Design Imps we are committed to the concept of "Together we can make it better”. It was the reason we implemented an easy to use modding system for Fhtagn! - Tales of the Creeping Madness and the reason we want to have Early Access. We believe that with the input of players we can make this game amazing!”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Our current vision for the game allows for an estimated completion by Q4 2021, but this will be influenced greatly by community feedback and requested features.”

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

“Early access will start with:

• 1 Game mode
  
• 1 Playable character with only 1 starting item and artifact
  
• 3 zones, each with roughly 14 enemies, 2 Elites, 2 Mini-bosses and 2 Bosses
  
• 80 item dice, each with 2-3 abilities on them
  
• 90 artifacts

The full version will include:

• 3+ Game modes, including Ranked Ladder
  
• 3 Playable characters, each with 3 different starting artifacts and items
  
• 4 zones, each with 15+ enemies, 3+ Elites, 3+ Mini-bosses, 3+ Bosses and a total of 4+ Final Bosses
  
• 200+ item dice, each with 2-3 abilities on them
  
• 100+ Artifacts

”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“In terms of content, 50% of the game's content is ready at Early Access launch. Roughly a third of units have all their animations ready, the rest will be static while we update their animations and effects. All ability icons are placeholders and will be replaced over the course of Early Access.
The Early Access version can be played as intended (only Final Bosses are still missing).”

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

“We want to reward players who want to take this journey with us early on and fairly price the game based on content available, so the current Early Access price will be raised gradually as we add new content and features.”

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

“There is only one thing we like more than making games and that is to connect with the community. With Fhtagn! - Tales of the Creeping Madness, we have developed a track record of listening to our community and helping them enjoy the game in the most optimal way possible.

To assist the community to get the most out of their early access experience, various social media platforms and forums have been made available for community members to receive updates, chat about the game, report bugs, give feedback or make suggestions. These platforms are actively monitored. The Endless Wyrd has its own Discord channel, Subreddit, Steam forum and Twitter account. There is also an online roadmap where the community can see all the planned features and vote and comment on them.

The community’s valuable feedback is an integral part in how development will roll out and the launch of major updates.”
