Wozu Early Access?

„I strongly believe that involving the community in the development process is critical to making a game that people want to play, and keep playing.

As I continuously add new content, maintaining game balance is an ongoing challenge. I have a core group of alpha testers who have already provided invaluable feedback, but gathering reviews and input from a larger community will be invaluable.

There are a few design decisions which are currently up in the air, specifically whether to add active skills to the game, or keep it's controls simple. Each direction opens up both opportunity, but also downsides, so getting feedback from the community will help determine the development path.“

Wie lange wird dieses Spiel ungefähr den Early Access-Status haben?

„The full version is planned to contain the following additions over Early Access:

• 50+ Skills
  
• 75+ Skill Supports
  
• Dynamic zone events
  
• Engaging, unique Bosses with their own loot pools, mechanics.
