What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“We have chosen to release our game in Early Access to engage with our community and gather valuable feedback that will help shape the final version of the game. By offering the game in Early Access, we aim to involve players in the development process and receive input on gameplay mechanics, balance, and overall player experience. This direct interaction with our community allows us to iterate and improve the game iteratively, ensuring that we deliver the best possible product upon full release. Additionally, Early Access provides us with the opportunity to secure funding and support ongoing development efforts, allowing us to realize our vision for the game more effectively. We are committed to transparency and collaboration throughout the Early Access period, and we appreciate the support of our players as we continue to evolve and refine the game.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“The game is anticipated to remain in Early Access over the course of 2024.”

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

“The full version of our game is planned to offer additional content and features compared to the Early Access version. While the Early Access version will provide players with a complete and polished gameplay experience, including core features, characters, and a primary map, the full release aims to expand upon this foundation. We envision introducing several new maps to enhance gameplay variety and provide players with fresh challenges. Additionally, we plan to incorporate minor advancements and refinements based on community feedback and ongoing development efforts. However, please note that while we aim to achieve these goals, we refrain from making specific promises about future events or additions, as development plans may evolve based on various factors.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The Early Access version of our game is in an advanced stage of development, with approximately 90% of the planned features and content implemented. Players can already experience a fully functional game with a variety of characters, tasks, difficulty modes, and replayability features. While the core gameplay experience is complete, we are actively gathering feedback from the community to further polish and refine the remaining aspects of the game before its full release. We're excited to invite players to join us in this final stage of development and help us shape the game's future direction.”

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

“The pricing strategy for our game will indeed differ between the Early Access phase and the full release. While we plan to offer the game at a slightly lower price during Early Access as a gesture of appreciation to our early adopters and to reflect the game's current stage of development, there may be adjustments to the price as we continue to add new content and features. However, rest assured that any price changes will be communicated transparently to our community well in advance of implementation.”

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

“We are planning to involve the community in our development process through multiple channels. We have set up a dedicated website where players can provide feedback, report bugs, and engage in discussions about the game. Additionally, we have established a Discord server where players can join to interact with developers, share their thoughts, participate in polls, and connect with other members of the community. These platforms serve as central hubs for communication and collaboration, allowing us to gather feedback, address concerns, and prioritize features based on community input. We are committed to fostering an open and inclusive development environment where players feel heard and valued, and we look forward to working closely with our community to shape the future of the game. In our website you can contact us through email or find our discord server and get in touch.”
