Wozu Early Access?

„There's a giant hole in the medieval sandbox RPG space that nobody has been able to fill, yet everybody wants to play. We want to create that game. And inorder to do it, it's going to require a large, complex, and rich game world.

Project imperium is a big undertaking, by a small development team. Inorder to effectivly make this game, we need to use a very fluid and iterative development methodology. We prototype features in the quickest way possible, test them, and either delete or polish them to completion depending on if they positively influence the gameplay experience.

We iterate and change the content of the game frequently, and as such, a singular and final "release" of the game in the conventional sense wont be applicable to Project Imperium for some time.

And because the game will iterate and change frequently across the course of the Early Access release - we will need hyped players who are excited to play this game get their hands on a build, and provide their feedback so we can make it the best medieval RPG sim possible!“

Wie lange wird dieses Spiel ungefähr den Early Access-Status haben?

„We expect our early access duration to last approximately two years. However, over that two year duration the game will slowly gain new features and polish, culminating in a refined and complete base game which we can expand upon over time.“

Wie soll sich die Vollversion von der Early Access-Version unterscheiden?

„The full version of the game will have many expansive feature differences from the early access version, particularly in the kingdom management, and NPC simulation aspects.

We want the final game to be a true Medieval Simulator, and our Early Access build will continually change in features, polish, and content inorder to reflect approaching that goal.“

Wie werden Sie versuchen die Community in den Entwicklungsprozess miteinzubeziehen?

„While we have a strong idea of the kind of game, and the kinds of features that we want to create - a lot of the specifics are unknown.

We want our prospective players to provide direct feedback and suggestions on the mechanics and features of the game as they evolve, helping us make the ideal medieval sandbox sim that fans of the genre have been dying to play for years now.“
