Why Early Access?

“As an indie game dev studio with the dream of creating unique concepts, we want to engage with the gaming community and gather valuable feedback during the development process. By launching the game early, we can work closely with players to refine the gameplay, fix bugs, and incorporate new features that resonate with the gaming community. This will ensure that the final version of the game is polished and enjoyable for players.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“It's important to keep in mind that game development is an iterative process, and unexpected challenges and opportunities can arise during development that may impact the timeline. However, we have set a rough estimate of 6 months for completing the game and exiting early access.”

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

“The full version will have more content, features, and polish. This includes additional levels, game mechanics, and game modes, as well as improved graphics, sound, and user interface.

In addition, the full version will also have more balanced gameplay, fewer bugs, and better performance, based on feedback and testing during the early access period. We will use this feedback to refine and improve the game, ensuring that it is as enjoyable and engaging as possible.

Lastly, the full version will also have a complete story or campaign mode, providing players with a satisfying and cohesive narrative experience. This will give players a reason to keep coming back to the game, increasing its replayability and longevity.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The current state of the game is stable in terms of its combat functionality, featuring several magic and melee abilities for players to use. The game also has a living open world that players can explore, although only a small portion of the map has been completed at this time.

Overall, while the game is still in early access and has some rough edges, the core combat mechanics and open-world exploration are in a stable state, allowing players to enjoy the basic gameplay experience while providing valuable feedback to further refine and improve the game.”

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

“Yes, the game will be priced slightly higher but still within a reasonable range for an indie game title. The game will likely have more content, features, and polish at the time of full release, making it a more complete and enjoyable experience for players.

Overall, the decision to increase the price when exiting early access and going for a full release is intended to reflect the increased value and investment of time.”

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

“Community involvement is a crucial part of our development process. We believe that listening to our players and incorporating their feedback is essential to creating a successful and enjoyable game.

To achieve this, we regularly engage with our community through various channels, such as social media, forums, and in-game feedback. We encourage players to share their thoughts, ideas, and concerns with us, and we take their feedback seriously.

In addition, we also provide regular updates on our development progress, sharing information on new features, bug fixes, and other changes with our community. This transparency helps to build trust and foster a strong relationship between the development team and our players.

Overall, community involvement is a key component of our development process, as we believe that working together with our players is the best way to create a game that meets their needs and expectations.”
