Why Early Access?

“Rise & Fall: Bronze Age only has playable factions in Egypt for the moment. This leaves dozens of hours of gameplay and hundreds of events for players to experience. But this is only a portion of what we want to offer with this game. Early Access allows us to get feedback from a much larger number of players than our demo.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“This will depend on how long it takes us to research and write the narrative chains for the other regions of the game for all the starting dates. And creating music and art for the different cultures. All in all, we hope to finish the game within two year, with more or less 6 months depending on the support of the community.”

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

“The gameplay is not complete and we wish to add even more content.
The things that we hope to add in the future before the game is complete:
-to add content for the Egyptian factions past 3100BC
-to make playable the other factions on the map with their own content
-to improve the AI
-to improve some aspects of the gameplay, especially the late mechanics (standing army, etc)

Each time a new region would be made playable, it will result in slightly different gameplay, narrative events, interface elements and music that will make these new scenarios unique for players to discover.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“-the factions in Egypt have content up to 2800BC
-the start dates are unlockable up to the one of 3100BC
-15 minutes of music to travel the banks of the Nile
-a save system
-basic AI”

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

“The game is not finished yet, so its price will not be the same between now and when its finished. We plan to increase the price by half of the current price at end of Early Access. The price will increase at each big updates that add a new region to play. But the people who bought the game before those increase of price will not be impacted.”
