Why Early Access?

“Balancing and optimizing a full scale role playing game is a large task. In the past we've gotten great feedback on our games that helped us shape them into a more professional experience and we seek to do the same here. Although each stage of development will go though quality assurance staff prior to release, there will be post mortem issues and small gameplay tweaks that arise after the larger community has gotten to play it.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“It will take about 1 to 2 years for the current planned scope and polish passes to be finished on the game. The development cycle does not yet have a hard date, but as an independent studio we are under no time constraints or project terms, meaning we can work on the game for as long as it takes to compete it.”

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

“The full version will have a completable story and fully fleshed out levels as well as the balancing and suggestions brought by community during early access. Most features such as Merchants and crafting are already in the game, but the implementation will be more realized in the finished game version. As new levels are finished in early access the community will get them as updates until it is decided the game meets are expectations for a final product.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The current build has all major systems such as Combat, Magic, Leveling, Trading and Alchemy complete, but these system's balancing will be tweaked in future updates. There are currently 6 levels complete and accessible, but the final version will have 10 or more.

There are no player level caps, and you can play for as long as you want. When you reach a door that will lead to future content a message displaying "Alas, this is the end of development." will show and you may continue to play and keep save data.”

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

“Early access buyers will get the game at a 50% discount compared to the finished release price.”

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

“We plan on taking in feedback from the community during early access as we implement new levels and balance enemies and weapons within the game. Also bug reports and general reactions will help us adjust and tweak the game into a better, tighter experience.”
