Porquê Acesso Antecipado?

"Birthright is made of a small team working in Unreal Engine. It has been in development already for 4 years having full development processes in place. With Early Access we want to start engaging with players to shape and prioritize the last big features as well as the small ones.

A public Trello Board will be used and direct availability on Discord to discuss, suggest or ask for help from players."

Aproximadamente durante quanto tempo vai este produto estar em Acesso Antecipado?

"This game is a long term project. The overall plan is to stay in Early Access until the major features are implemented and iterated on."

Qual vai ser a diferença entre a versão final e a versão de Acesso Antecipado?

"Combat will be heavily tuned and partly be remade until it is where it needs to be with a deeper connection for AI and Tarot cards behavior.

Destructible Sieges using Chaos in UE5.

Add Skeleton Mesh merging and textures with Texture Animation support for large scale combat performance on characters further away.

Mages & Ghouls will let players join the Dark side with a twisted Gameplay on dedicated servers. Sacrifice yourself on the Volcano and become one of the Undead Warlords respawning each night for eternity. But grow your army size with power and make your way for higher ranks such as Overlord.
Forever tormenting the living ones with nothing to lose each day. All is already lost.

End Game content such as The Dragon, Volcano, Raids from afar and The Other Side.

Trading for Players will be plottable on World Map to choose exact routes for caravans. Creating optimal trade routes to really show their strength as Trade Lords.

And new Battle/Skirmish/Siege maps along the whole period. Along with lots of more POIs (Points of Interest) that will push the world and story forward.

More Settlement Extensions Dialogues that are unique.

More special Followers, items and treasures."

Qual é o estado atual da versão de Acesso Antecipado?

"All fundamental features are already in place. Warmongering, Trading and Adventuring are the staples that all are functional. But they will be adjusted along the way with added content and polishing.

Dedicated Server support is in place and both Single Player and Multiplayer is developed for each feature. They are always on par in features but sometimes they can work a bit different since World Map is not in play during Combat in Single Player.

Project is upgraded to UE5 and always follow 1-2 patches behind UE release cycle. All available tech in UE5 is used as much as possible. Dedicated Server system is based on same replication code as Fortnite, static meshes are all Nanites etc.

Combat uses UE5's Ability System. And has basic directional attack and parry with unique attacks for 1h, 1h+shield, 1h spear, 2h, archer and polearm. Some like polearm and 1h spear also have secondary mode with new sets of attacks.
Mounted combat has 1h, spear and archer implemented so far.

Dungeons have interactables (urns, skeletons, graves, chests, barrels etc) for looting and and other destructibles (chairs, tables etc).
There are 8 Dungeons Themes currently and more will come. We use a custom Dungeon Generator to create infinite amounts.
Very rough Bosses are implemented in Dungeons. But in future will be more a mix with Dark souls type with stages.

Being Light Fantasy much like Game of Thrones several creatures are already implemented such as Skeletons, Ghouls, Undead Lords, wolves/dogs, giant scorpions, minotaurs, trolls etc

All World Map characters operate for their own good. Not only Lords will try secure their future, expect a Troll King to do the same.

Armies need some micro-management such as repair, healing, food and horses need hay. But there is plenty of loot and items to build your soldiers into something to fear on the battlefield.
But make sure you got the goods to support your crusade!

Over 700+ items are already in game, more to come.

Market system is fully in place and each day the World Market index is recalculated along with each Local Market (settlements) similar to real life economics. This creates natural fluctuations and openings for good trade deals.
Each Settlement set their base Tax, while the Territory Warden set the Territory Tax and finally the Ruler set Royal Tax on top of that.

Settlements make meaningful Trades each morning with nearby Settlements depending on Local Markets need and best deals. Lords can manage their Settlement but does not directly own everything locals produce.

Titles have meaning and grant Rights that give access.

More than 100+ Settlement Extensions is fully implemented to upgrade and produce items. They add many different effects on the settlement along with production of items, recruitment etc

More than 20+ World Extensions that can be build anywhere on World Map close enough to a Settlement. Everything they produce are Taxed by nearby Settlement.

UI is lacking still and needs rework and additions in many areas and Families are shallow. There is no marriage yet or fusing of Families. Some very unbalancing items and prices.

No Tutorial or Manual. You will need to figure things out by error and trial. And you will die a lot.

However if one can deal with the above there are many hours of entertainment already."
