Varför Early Access?

“We’re working with Klei and our Early Access players to help us make Mind Over Magic the best game it can be at launch. Since 2012, Klei has used Early Access as a tool to gather feedback and develop in collaboration with players, producing games like Don’t Starve Together, Oxygen Not Included, and Griftlands.

By releasing this game in Early Access, we hope to continue to grow our community and get more people involved in its development.”

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

“We still have a lot more in store for Mind Over Magic, and we plan to continue growing and updating the game throughout 2024.”

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

“The plan for the full version of Mind Over Magic is to create even more content to allow players to create fantastic schools, harness the power of their graduates, and explore what waits below. Expect more decorations, more items and abilities, and frightful new creatures in the Underschool.

We’ll also be expanding the game world to include more lore tidbits and challenges for your students, as well as additions we make based on feedback and community suggestions.

Mod support is also very important to us, so we expect to have full workshop support by launch or shortly thereafter.”

Hur är det nuvarande läget i versionen med Early Access?

“The Early Access version of Mind Over Magic supports constructing a block-based school with structural and magical support rules. You’ll control staff members to build furnishings to keep your school running – from mundane amenities like beds, dining tables, and torches to magical items like enchanted spindles that stitch together undead minions. Your furnishings and architecture combine to create fabulous rooms in your school. You’ll recruit new students and train them in seven different magical disciplines, all of which have practical uses in keeping the school running. You will send students and staff to explore the dungeons below the school and face dangerous creatures and collect ancient lore.

You’ll teach and cast spells from seven different skills (Fire, Water, Dark, Nature, Air, Earth, Lightning) to cultivate exotic plants, brew potions, harvest resources, cook meals, research arcane lore, and powerful wands and advanced magical reagents.

You’ll have control over scheduling (including scheduling classes, recreation time, meals, and sleep), contend with weather (from gentle showers to cold snaps and destructive electric storms), expand your school grounds, and manage characters with different talents and stats. Your characters will learn, graduate, dance, and sometimes die, leaving their ghosts to haunt the school.

The game already has enough systems and content for at least 50-100 hours. It is lovingly supported by the dev team with a dedicated closed beta group and multiple public playtests that have helped us refine features up to this point. Major bugs and problems are hot-fixed quickly with feature releases dropping regularly.”

Kommer spelet att prissättas annorlunda under och efter Early Access?

“As we continue to add value to the game throughout Early Access, we expect the base price to be raised at the official launch.”

Hur planerar ni att involvera gemenskapen i er utvecklingsprocess?

“We have several ways for players to reach out and let us know what they’re thinking.

If you have the game, use the in-game feedback tool. Just press F8 and send us your thoughts, bugs, and feature requests. We see these immediately and can get to work right away!

We also have an official Discord where we actively talk with players to see how they’re feeling about the game, let them know what we’re doing now, and discuss what we should do in future releases.
