Why Early Access?

“Master of Realms is an ongoing, community driven project that will continue to evolve over the coming year. As part of the Kickstarter ecosystem, Early Access allows us to fulfill our promises to backers while continuing active development. It provides a great opportunity to gather real world feedback from players and fine tune usability, performance, and content balance across different play styles and hardware setups.

Approximately how long will this software be in Early Access?

“We currently expect Master Of Realms to remain in Early Access for approximately one to two years. During this period, we plan to continue refining core systems, expanding content, and improving overall stability and performance based on community feedback. The exact duration may adjust depending on development progress and users' input.”

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

“The Early Access version includes the core map building tools along with several completed themes, including Lush (core theme), Desert, Modern, Cyberpunk, Apocalypse, Dwarven, Elven.

During Early Access, we intend to continue developing and refining the tool. Our current focus areas include improving and stabilizing core systems, expanding available map themes and visual styles, growing the asset library to enable more detailed and varied map creation, enhancing UI and user experience based on player feedback, and ongoing performance improvements and optimization.

Our goal is to steadily evolve Master Of Realms into a more robust and polished end to end map creation tool. Development priorities and features may adjust over time as we gather community feedback and continue improving the product.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The current build includes all core systems and is fully functional, allowing users to design, build, and export maps using the core toolset. It currently features over 1,000 in game tiles and more than 800 STL tiles available for 3D printing.

We continue to refine and expand the tool based on user feedback. The build has been tested by our 7,000+ playtester community and is stable for a public Early Access launch, with ongoing improvements and content expansions planned throughout development.”

Will this software be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“Yes. We currently plan to offer a lower introductory price during the Early Access period. As development progresses and additional content and improvements are introduced, we may adjust the pricing closer to full release.”

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

“We have an active Discord community of over 5,000 members, with more joining daily. Through this platform, we regularly collect feedback, conduct polls, and host tests to refine gameplay, UI/UX, and performance. The community has already contributed significantly to improving the Early Access build, and we’ll continue this collaborative development process until and beyond the final release.”
