Why Early Access?

“Septaroad Voyager, like our previous game Himeko Sutori, benefitted immensely from Early Access. Players gave us inspiration and ideas that we never would have thought of on our own. As of this update (about 13 months into Early Access) our players have already helped a lot. Now that we are starting the release of the main campaign, we will need your input as much as we ever have. And we plan to continue improving the game based on your feedback.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“About one more year after this update (expected full release Summer 2025). We promise frequent and honest communication throughout Early Access to update you on our progress and on any possible changes to our timeline.”

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

“As of July 2024, the game's technical portions are 100% finished. We have just released the seven characters' prologues to the main campaign. The finished game will be exactly like the current version, but with added chapters to the campaign, with additional story and character development.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The game is fully playable and feature-complete. In addition to the procedurally generated adventure originally released at the start of Early Access, we have now released the start of a fully handcrafted campaign. All seven characters are playable. In the world of the main campaign, you can recruit seven characters and play their prologues. We have seven starting towns and lots of dangerous wilderness levels between them.

Right now, Septaroad Voyager contains 14 character classes to unlock, hundreds of unique items for your characters to equip (not even counting the rare, epic, and legendary versions you'll find), and over a hundred unique skills to aid your party in combat.”

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

“We do not plan on changing the price significantly when it enters full release. We believe that a game in Early Access should not be discounted aggressively, and in the first 13 months we have not discounted Septaroad Voyager at all except for a modest sale when Early Access first started.”

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

“We invite all of Septaroad Voyager's players to leave feedback here at Steam on our Steam Community page. We also invite players to join our Discord at https://discord.gg/TZZxUCckQq to discuss the game and offer feedback. We have a solid track record of engaging with the community and we welcome the opportunity to improve Septaroad Voyager through your suggestions and bug reports.”
