What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“Poetry of Blood is an action-oriented Roguelike game featuring a rich variety of items, weapons, and enemies. As the content of the game expands, we hope to receive more feedback from players about the game's content. This will help us refine the game and deliver a better experience in the full version.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We expect the Early Access version to last approximately one year until the official release. This timeline may be adjusted based on the feedback we receive from players.”

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

“The full release is planned to include additional weapons, a broader variety of item combinations, a more complete level progression, and an expanded story that delves deeper into the world. We're also considering adding new content, such as a catgirl bar, to enhance the overall gameplay experience. Moreover, we aim to keep optimizing the game's performance to improve the experience in the final release.

You can stay informed about our development progress and current priorities by visiting the development planning section within the game. We also plan to share updates on our development plans in future Early Access updates.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“In the current Early Access version, there are over a dozen distinct weapon types, more than a hundred buffs for combination, two major levels, and five bosses, some of which have new hidden forms to challenge. The game also offers customizable difficulty settings to cater to different player needs.

Meanwhile, throughout the Early Access period, we will continue to update the game every 2-3 months. You can check the development and update plans in the development planning section within the game.”

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

“Depending on the content added during the Early Access period, we may increase the game's price once the new content reaches a certain volume.”

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

“Game development relies heavily on communication with players. During the Early Access period, we will continuously monitor and collect your suggestions and the content you would like to see in the game. We will adjust and optimize the game based on the actual development situation to improve the overall experience.

If you want to participate in the game community and contribute suggestions for development, please find the community link on the homepage and join us.”
