Why Early Access?

“Magic Boutique of Royal Blue is a retro-style fantasy boutique game that has started developing by KKANGTO STUDIO since July 2022.
Early Access was chosen so that issues and ideas, which due to the nature of one-person developing has its limits, can be discussed with actual players, and successfully reach the level of completion desired.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Magic Boutique of Royal Blue will continue its Early Access period of 9 months, and is aimed to be released the second half of 2024 or the first half of 2025.
Based on the feedback received after release, there may be updates related to the level of completion of the game or additional contents.”

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

“In the Early Access version, players are able to enjoy the stories of full version and parts of the core contents.
However, there may be deterioration of quality in graphics and lack of contents.
In the full version, players will be able to enjoy the full stories and endings, and unlocked versions of unrevealed contents.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“In the Early Access version, players have access to core contents such as crafting magical clothing, managing the boutique, and collecting, processing, and selling of materials.
The timeline of the game begins in Spring, Year 1.
The full story ends in Spring, Year 3, and the Early Access version ends in Autumn, Year 1.
The core contents of the story will connect with the full version without substantial changes.”

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

“The price of Early Access version is set lower than the full version.
With the full version, players will have access to more contents, a complete story, and improvements, thus the price will increase after the full release.”
