Why Early Access?

“One of the most exciting parts of developing Kādomon: Hyper Auto Battlers is how involved the community has been. I’ve loved working your ideas into the game, and creating new monsters, features and mechanics that players really want to see. Reading your feedback about the demo has been invaluable to me, and I’ve been exploring ways to add these suggestions to the Early Access version of Kādomon. In short, Early Access will allow me to concentrate on delivering bigger and more extensive content updates, as well as experiment with some cool new ideas. I'll also be able to make improvements and tweaks, so for me it's the best of both worlds!

Ever since the demo was released, I’ve been so lucky to receive overwhelming support, and this is driving me to make the best version of the game possible. From helping write the lore for each different Kādomon on Discord, to spotting gameplay bugs, I’m very lucky to have such an awesome community! Thank you to everyone who has been part of the Kādomon journey so far.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“I currently expect the game to be in Early Access for at least 12 months, with timely new content and updates! (Please note: This could change based on community feedback, and I will keep you updated if it does.)”

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

“Throughout Early Access, I’m planning on introducing new types of Kādomon along with a range of new content (from items, events, and field effects to modes and mechanics!) ready for the 1.0 launch.

It’s important to me that players know they’re being heard, so the journey from Early Access into full launch will be largely driven by player feedback. For example, if there’s a specific feature that the community is asking for, then this could help shape the development of the game during EA. I’ll be sharing a roadmap at the launch of Early Access, and plan to keep everyone updated regularly on Kādomon’s future content plans!”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Kādomon: Hyper Auto Battlers has already been in development for a good amount of time, and I’m very happy with the version available at the launch of Early Access. The game is fully playable and includes a run-based roguelike mode designed for replayability, with over 180 Kādomon to battle and collect from day one. The initial Early Access version has been created with feedback collected from thousands of players who played the earlier demo version - I really can’t wait for more of the community to jump into the game at Early Access and start sharing their feedback.”

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

“Exact pricing is yet to be decided, but I do expect the price will increase to reflect the new content added to the game over Early Access.”

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

“I’ve already created brand new Kādomon based on some awesome ideas from the community, and I fully intend to continue developing the game with player feedback in mind. I would really encourage players to join the game’s official Discord to share their ideas and feedback throughout Early Access.”
