Why Early Access?

“We have built the core mechanics that make the game fun to play and allow you to learn. Now, we need your help in the final stages as we add in content to ensure we maintain this balance of being engaging and learning Chinese.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“The game is divided into 4 episodes, each with 4 chapters and coverers roughly the first year of learning Chinese - you should be able to take and complete the HSK 1 Chinese exam at the end of episode 4. We plan to release each episode as it completes and have all 4 episodes completed this summer 2022.”

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

“The Early Access version will begin with episode I (chapters 1-3). Beyond the addition of new content (episodes II-IV) , we are also planning new features such as:

• Additional Avatars
  
• Achievements system
  
• Improved Learning Feedback
  
• Additional game mechanics that are engaging and help with learning
  
• Feedback from the Community

”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The first episode (chapters 1-3) is currently available. Each chapter in our game is similar to the chapters in a language textbook. Each chapter contains around 10 vocabulary words and a few sentence patterns. By the end of chapter 3 you'll be able to greet someone in Chinese, find out their name, where they're from, and what they do for a living.”

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

“We plan to raise the price as we ship new episodes. Buying now gets you the greatest value for a first year course in learning Chinese in an immersive and engaging way.”

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

“We are thrilled to get your feedback and hope you will participate in the Steam community forums. It is a challenge to walk the line between fun/engaging and meeting learning objectives. We won't be able to do it without your help.”
