早期アクセスにした理由

“Firstly, everything good takes time to be perfectly polished.
Secondly, we are indie, so we have to process things slowly and steadily to make sure the project can survive.
Thirdly, we can add more features that we and you want to the game later, making it perfect together.
The ManicBuild team is being honest with the players and buyers. We are trying our best to bring the most awesome features that a monster-taming game can have to players. And here are some words from our game designer, who is also the leader of the team.

I will make it short. To me, a diehard fan of the monster-taming genre, I just want to ask:

• It's already 2024; would you play a monster-taming game where no real monsters pop up on the overworld map? And you have to run around on the map, in the grass, to encounter the monsters without actually seeing them?
  
• It's a freaking monster-taming game! Of course we want to see our companion following right behind us, right? Tomomon have that! And you can ride them too!! And you can even put the small cute little monsters on your head!!!
  
• Battles are more strategic and fun. Most of us who are following this genre here are not kids anymore. We need something that is actually a bit challenging and exciting at the same time. I spent 5 years updating, learning, and designing the cool battle system for Tomomon, which you have to try to get the full experience.
  
• And there are 101 more reasons that I can bring up, but I will let you guys do that part.
  
• We designed and created the game as video game players, so we know exactly what we want as players. Our passion, our desire for the perfect game that we are searching for—we all have that, right? The ManicBuild team is making that happen day by day. We are indie, so we have the power to do so, but we need to project to be alive first.
  
• Life is short; enjoy the true game that was made by players, for players!
