What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“The objective of this early access is to be able to continue development on Magenta Horizon while getting various feedback from the players. The feedback I've gotten from the community has always been a big part of the inspiration and fuel for the game development. I'd like to give you a chance to play the already finished content built on that past feedback and get even more feedback from it so that I can add better content in the future.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“The game will stay in early access until the third act and the fifth difficulty adjustment is complete. The current estimate is during 2024.”

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

“I plan to have three acts of the main campaign, the fifth difficulty option, and additional gameplay modes including a boss rush in the full version of the game.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The first two acts are done. Excluding Act 1's content, there are multiple high-quality bosses, diverse combat arenas, and levels that are mostly bigger than act 1's average stages. The last gigantic act remains.”

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

“The price will remain as it is.”

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

“Through Steam and Discord, I'll actively listen to the community feedback. You can talk about story, gameplay, music, visual style, and anything else you want. I'll take it into account for the full game.”
