Why Early Access?

“The reason behind Trail of Ayash early access release is to gather valuable feedback from players. Early access can help us identify bugs, glitches, and areas for improvement in the game.

This feedback can be used to refine the game mechanics, improve the user experience, and ultimately make the game more enjoyable for players. Additionally, early access can help build a community around the game, as players provide feedback and engage with one another. This game is mainly created by two-man team,”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We're excited to offer early access to Trail of Ayash and want to make the most of this period to gather valuable feedback from our players. We're currently planning to have an early access period of 10 months, during which time players can experience the game, provide feedback, and help shape the final product.

However, we understand that game development can be unpredictable, and there may be cases where we need to extend the early access period due to significant changes to the game. Our priority is to create the best possible game, and we won't rush the development process just to meet a specific timeline.

If we do need to extend the early access period, we'll communicate this to our players and provide updates on the progress of the game. We appreciate your patience and support as we work to make Trail of Ayash the best game it can be.

We plan to support more languages in the final version of the game to make it accessible to players around the world. We're committed to making Trail of Ayash a game that can be enjoyed by as many people as possible, and this includes ensuring that it's available in multiple languages.”

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

“While Trail of Ayash is fully playable in its current early access state, the final version of the game will offer several improvements and additional content based on player feedback. Firstly, we'll be working hard to reduce the number of bugs and issues present in the game to provide a smoother, more stable experience for our players.

In addition to improving stability, we'll also be adding new content to the game based on suggestions and feedback from players. We believe that player input is invaluable in creating a game that truly resonates with its audience, and we'll be taking this feedback into account as we continue to develop Trail of Ayash.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“We're happy to announce that Trail of Ayash is playable from the beginning to the end in its current early access state. However, as with any game still in development, there may be bugs or other issues that we're working to address. We've made every effort to ensure the game is as stable and bug-free as possible, but we can't guarantee a completely smooth experience.

We encourage players to report any bugs or issues they encounter so that we can address them in future updates. We'll continue to work hard to improve the game and create the best possible experience for our players. Thank you for your support and understanding as we work to make Trail of Ayash the best it can be as two-man team.

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

“We believe in rewarding early adopters who support our game during its development. That's why we're offering the early access version of the game at a lower price than the final version. By purchasing early access, you'll not only get to experience the game before it's released, but you'll also have the opportunity to provide feedback and help shape the final product.

We want to make Trail of Ayash accessible to as many players as possible, which is why we don't plan to raise the final price of the game beyond the early access price. However, if we add significant new features before the final release, we may slightly increase the price to cover the costs of development. We'll communicate any price changes to our players and explain the reasons behind them to maintain transparency and build trust with our audience.”
