What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“Using the Early Access Phase gives the game time to evolve and reach the version and quality that the community requires, but also as a Solo Developer and following my past released games on Steam, I was always missing the Bridge that links me to my Community and especially their inputs and impact on the development process.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“The Game will be transitioning dynamically throughout the Early Access Phase, with the release of each Chapter but also the rounds of updates and extras that will be required by the community, the moment Chapter 4 is released the community should be alerted that we are a few months away from Launch.

The Chapters are as the following:


  • Prolepsis (Release: January 7th, 2022)
  • Chapter 1: The Equilibrium (Release: January 7th, 2022)
  • Chapter 2: The Silver Phoenix (Release: August 19th, 2022)
  • Chapter 3: Dragon's Wrath (Release: February 5th, 2023)
  • Chapter 4: Knights of the Alder Forge (Release: TBD)
  • Epilogue (Release: TBD)

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

“The Final Version will have the following additions:
  • (Optional) The Voiceover
  • Additional subevents are progressively integrated during each E.A phase.
  • All the reasonable community requests addition.
  • (Optional) Localization to other cultures.
  • All the rounds of updates since the beginning of the Early Access Phase.
  • Other Additional Features will happen before the launch.

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The current Early Access Version is Phase 3, and production for the Final Phase will start in Q2. Members of the Alder Forge community will receive a state of development similar to the previous phases every time I reach a new milestone.”

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

The Game price will be raised with each Chapter release until the Launch Version. The Community will be warned a month before the upcoming Chapter and its update.

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“The main reason behind Early Access is to involve the community without you, there is no reason to go into this Phase at all, please notice that the only place where I will be gathering community requests is the Steam Community Hub for the Alder Forge game.”
