Why Early Access?

“Never Ending Dungeon will be in Early Access due to the innovative nature of the project, which utilizes AI and procedural generation to create adventures for TTRPG fans. It is the only product of its kind on the market, and user feedback is crucial to bring it to final release. We aim to ensure that the direction of development aligns with consumer desires due to the project's innovative aspects.”

Approximately how long will this software be in Early Access?

“Our target is one year.”

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

“In the full version of Never Ending Dungeon, we plan to:

• Add a much larger base of pre-generated adventures.
  
• Add the ability to regenerate parts of adventures on the fly.
  
• Add the capability to create adventures from prompts.
  
• Expand features for online VTT play, including connections to third-party services.
  
• Add a more extensive base of asset models, monsters, NPCs, their descriptions, backstories, and statistics.
  
• Implement advanced generation of entire cities, forests, and larger areas or adventures.

If our community is interested, we may add some nice-to-have features, such as map weather effects, a low-poly player character generator, and a solo-play mode.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Currently, players can enjoy:

• Basic features such as exporting adventures and maps.
  
• VTT multiplayer on generated adventures.
  
• However, these are simplified options:
  
• The adventure and map generation process needs further sophistication.
  
• Exporting is limited to images and should include other assets like text.
  
• Multiplayer requires more user setup.

We aim to develop both adventure generation and usability features collaboratively with the community.”

Will this software be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“Yes, we plan for the game to be about 10-20% more expensive after Early Access.”

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

“We regularly engage with our community to gather feedback and shape the future of our software. Those activities involve discussions, surveys, and collaboration to ensure your voices are heard. Your input directly influences our roadmap and upcoming updates.
Your feedback on the quality of our adventure generation is crucial. We're particularly interested in your ideas for new adventures and NPCs. Your engagement and support are vital for implementing new features, especially for making on-the-fly changes to adventure generation.

Your feedback on the visual and gameplay quality of our generated maps, including room layouts, item placements, and adventure balance, is of utmost importance. This content generation is the heart of our solution, and we rely heavily on your support to complete it.
We are committed to community-driven development, and your participation is essential in guiding the direction of our software. To provide feedback, you can reach us on our Discord server (https://discord.gg/Ksnt9tFS5X) or the Steam forums. In the future, we plan to enable feedback submission directly from Never Ending Dungeon. We value your contributions and look forward to your input.”
