Why Early Access?

“This game started as a passion project of mine and an experiment of the Api that I used to generate the buildings. I wanted to see if I could make a real time strategy game out of this new tech and so I did. I am currently pretty far in the development of the game but since it is such a large experience releasing it for early access is the easiest way for me to find problems with the project and expand on features.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“I hope to get the project to a point I'm happy fully releasing in the beginning of early 2023.”

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

“The full version will be a lot more full and complete with multiple intersecting gameplay loops. While the early access will be a much simpler experience while I iron out bugs and add features.

I plan on adding many huge features in the coming months. Such as...
- War and political alliances with other players
- Trading and construction of docks in your empire
- Airports and airforce
- The ability to bomb other empires
- A more advanced NPC system
- AI empires that can attack and defend you
- Systems of mass control over your empire once it gets large
and more”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“It is a quite simple experience with some basic multiplayer interaction and full empire capability.

Current Features:
- Start your empire by creating its name and color
- Begin your journey by selecting any real-world building as your HQ
- Generate money based on how many citizens you have
- Claim other nearby buildings by purchasing them
- Set newly claimed buildings to housing or storage
- When you set the buildings, they spawn props around them, and citizens start walking around your empire
- You can create sectors and label them as you choose
- You can take over sectors by claiming all the buildings in them
- You can construct storage slots in the storage buildings you set
- You can scan for nearby mineral deposits and claim them
- You can set up citizen jobs and collect the resources”

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

“I do plan on pricing the game a little differently depending on how much I believe the project is worth to the average person.”

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

“I take often and amazing suggestions from my discord community and even add whole new features based on what they suggest.”
