Wozu Early Access?

„This is a solo project and I am developing this game in my free time. I want to create an entertaining, socializing open-world experience for everyone to enjoy and play. There are lots of systems that are still unfinished, unpolished, or not even present. I want to further develop this game with your feedback, ideas, and other input. Supporters of the project will also be able to add their own ideas, stories and items to the game. Balancing, networking and so much more requires lots of testing, which is why I hope to get lots of feedback from you.“

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

„I started to work on this in 2021. Since then I reworked the whole project multiple times due to engine upgrades, new addons being implemented and much more. In 2024 the new "reboot" version will be released in alpha, version 26-R (REBOOT). This brings lots of new features like loading different scenes while connected to the same server, as well as server sharding, which will be a huge improvement to the core game. This will be the last major engine change and I can now focus on implementing all the systems and content again.
With all this in mind, the game will still take years to be a complete, polished online RPG.“

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

„Here are some things I have planned for the "final" version.

-Full storyline
-Witch, Archer, Barbarian and Summoner weapons
-Mounts that level and have functionality like carrying items
-Optional proximity voice chat integration.
-A full-fledged Guild system with guild wars and territories
-Player owned "plots" or "properties" with some level of housing
-Extended, realistic player market in the game world
-Public leader boards and rankings for challenges and bosses
-Bosses only killable by large groups of players, "Server Boss Events"
-Lots of single and multiplayer dungeons
-Lots of NPCs with unique stories and questlines
-Area-bosses
-Mob-levels and mob-bosses (Lvl1 - Lvl10 per species)“

Wird dieses Spiel während und nach Early Access unterschiedlich viel kosten?

„I want to keep the game free to play with optional in game purchases to cover the server and maybe some of the development costs. It's still a hobby for me and I want to mostly keep it this way.

The in game purchases will most likely be visuals like skins and pets, upgraded housing and customization options; no P2W.
I will keep you updated on this. For now, I wont spend too much time on this. When the game is at a playable, enjoyable state I will focus on these features more.“

Wie werden Sie versuchen die Community in den Entwicklungsprozess miteinzubeziehen?

„Like I stated before, I want to build the game with your ideas and feedback in mind. If you want to directly contribute designs, models, or something else to the game, you can contact me via the Discord server and we'll talk about it: https://discord.gg/urq5kmGdQS

I also need some help with testing new features and balancing the game. Any feedback is appreciated and will help me a lot with developing the game. If you are interested, there is a separate launcher for all testers to try out new features and updates before I release them on steam. It's available for download on the website.“
