Why Early Access?

“We have chosen early access as we feel that in its current state, Realm Engine is capable of delivering an amazing experience for those who want to utilise its in-person/tabletop features through the use of an external screen. The online multiplayer features of the game are currently still under development and require additional time and testing before they can be integrated for the final release.

The purpose of the early access is to allow for the finalised development of the multiplayer online version as well as the inclusion of many more assets, and pre-built maps/encounters. We will also be striving to have a Mac OS version available for the final release.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Realm Engine will be in Early Access for 6- 12 months.

This will depend on player feedback and progress through the development process as we build in and test the Multiplayer functionality and Mac OS compatibility”

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

“The current version of Realm Engine is suitable for use in-person tabletop gaming or screen sharing via software such as discord. Unlike the final release, Early Access will not yet have support for online multiplayer.

Additional features planned for final release:

• Full Multiplayer
  
• Importable and exportable miniatures
  
• Animated miniature creator
  
• Importable and exportable terrain
  
• VR support

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The current game is caple of delivering an in-person/ tabletop experience for those who utilise an external tabletop screen and want to build worlds for their games in advance or on the fly. Ultra HD images of maps and can also be exported from Realm Engine and used as supplements for your campaigns.”

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

“Yes. Following Early access, the final release will include two versions of the game.
The table-top version, which will be completely free. This version will have similar features to the Early Access edition but will include additional assets and prebuilt maps which will be added to overtime.

The Elite Version of Realm Engine, which includes the online multiplayer features, will have a cost associated to support the ongoing development and support of Realm Engine as new features and assets are added over time.”

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

“Community feedback has been a key driver in Realm Engines progress. We have a very active discord server that allows our users to share their amazing projects, report issues, request assets or features and make suggestions for features to be added to the game. We hope you can join us!
