Why Early Access?

“In order to satisfy not only new fans of HEART of CROWN but also fans from HEART of CROWNPC, I believe that a high level of completion is necessary. Therefore, I think it's essential to receive a lot of feedback from users.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We aim to achieve completion approximately one year after the start of early access.”

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

“In the current early access version, the graphics and effects are not sufficient, and only CPU battles and some online matches are implemented. Additionally, the available cards are limited.

For the final version, we aim to enhance the graphics and effects, make all cards from the basic set and Far East Territory available, enrich single-player content, implement a ranking system and ranked matches, and introduce features like title systems and avatar customization to create a more enjoyable game for users.

We plan to utilize user feedback and also publish a roadmap and other related information.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“In this early access version, in addition to battling against the CPU, players can also enjoy two types of online matches (Free Match and Room Match). Additionally, while the available cards and supplies are limited, they will gradually increase with future updates.”

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

“Once the graphics and effects are enhanced and all planned content is implemented, we will conclude the early access and plan to raise the price by around $5 to $10 at that stage.”

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

“We plan to use the community hub to gather opinions within Steam, as well as prepare an official Discord server where we will also seek feedback. We will regularly compile user feedback in Japanese, English, and Simplified Chinese, and utilize the opinions provided by both developers and publishers to inform future development efforts.”
