Miksi Early Access?

Sentinel Point Heroes changes a lot from the a typical Roguelike Deckbuilder experience. This means constantly trying new things and listening to the community to see what works. Already the demo and streamers have given me a lot to think about in terms of feedback and I look forward to increasing this and seeing what players think about the rest of the game.

Some of the big challenges so far have been working out how Resolve and Sidekicks should work which were both added after the demo was released. I expect to work on making the game more interesting and easier to play.

Miten kauan peli tulee arviolta olemaan Early Access -vaiheessa?

This highly depends. There is enough content for a full game right now, but feedback may sway this, probably to extend the length of a run, clean up the mod maker or make information clearer. Unless a major change happens, I aim to leave early access at the start of 2026.

Millä tavoin lopullinen versio tulee eroamaan Early Access -versiosta?

If you play and the game comes naturally for you, then early access will give you more of what you love, there are more acts, more classes and a mod maker. What is currently missing is a lot of the story aspects and alternative ways to play(such as challenge runs). All of the Archetypes and Aspects will see increased and reworked card pools but should be currently playable and several are still missing and will be added over early access.

The boss pool also hasn't been increased from the demo, but will see regular releases as they are heavily tied into the story aspects.

Mikä on Early Access -version tila tällä hetkellä?

Early Access will have access to three acts of the game, three main boss types, 100+ cards over three Archetypes (Martial, Magic and Science) and one Aspect (Shapeshifter). 20+ gear, 12+ Trainings to change how cards function and 20+ events.

There is also a fully functional mod editor where you can make your own sets of cards, events, gear and training for use in the Steam Workshop. Lots of these are ready for further testing including an entire other Archetype.

Muuttuuko pelin hinta Early Access -vaiheen jälkeen?

This depends on how many of my stretch goals I end up completing in early access and how many need to be put aside or used as DLC. There will definitely be a small increase as I want early access to be accessible.

Miten yhteisö otetaan mukaan kehitysprosessiin?

I already have in game feedback and a discord you can contact me on. Many of the demo players have given feedback that you can see in the game now. I plan to keep this up and only increase the level of feedback I can support.
