Why Early Access?

“Northern Kingdoms is already an enjoyable game, but as with all games there’s potential to be filled and bugs to be found. To make Northern Kingdoms the greatest game it can be, I would like to spend some time in early access receiving feedback from the community whilst tweaking the game and adding future content.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“The goal is to get it out of early access in about a year.”

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

“The goal of Northern Kingdoms has always been to deliver an entertaining and enjoyable experience. When the game comes out of early access, plenty of content will have been added and bugs will have been rectified. Some of the planned content will include more building options, deeper diplomacy and trade, as well as more events of combat and raiding.

The priorities might change depending of what the community think the direction of the game should be, which may lead to adding more or less content for each part of the game.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The state of the current early access version could be considered "early state" of early access, which is completely playable, although with some minor bugs. All the features mentioned in the description of the game is present and available. The current implemented features might be subjected to reworks or rebalancing before final release of the game.”

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

“Depending on if there is time to ship out extra content before exiting early access, the price might be increased by a small amount.”

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

“I hope to have a close connection to the community, and be able to correct the path of the game to the communities liking as much as possible.”
