Why Early Access?

“Kortstrid's decision to join Steam Early Access is an excellent opportunity for both the development team and the gaming community. With the game in its Alpha phase, releasing it on Early Access allows players to get a taste of Kortstrid while it's still in development, helping to generate excitement and anticipation for the full release.

By participating in Early Access, Kortstrid can receive valuable feedback from dedicated players, which helps the team improve and refine the game based on community input. This process ensures that the final product is polished and optimized for the best possible gaming experience.

It's important to note that not all features will be available during the Early Access phase. However, by joining Early Access, players get a chance to shape the development process and contribute to the game's success. So, buckle up, embrace the adventure, and be part of Kortstrid's journey to greatness!”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Approximately 3 months from first Alpha release. This date could be sooner or later depending on user feedback and development constraints”

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

“The Alpha release of Kortstrid offers an early look at the game and provides players with a taste of the gameplay experience. However, it's important to note that the Alpha release differs significantly from the full release in several ways, as many features are still under development or refinement.

In the Alpha release, players might not yet experience the fully integrated storyline and dialog, which will be a key part of the full release, immersing players in the rich lore of Kortstrid. The profile features, world map integration, and upgrading card systems are also expected to be expanded and refined in the full release.

Additionally, the marketplace, resource gathering, subscriptions, and a variety of game rules and mechanics will be introduced and polished in the full release, providing a more comprehensive and engaging experience. The multiplayer aspect will also see enhancements, allowing for better connectivity and interaction among players.

Lastly, the full release will feature an increased card pool, giving players more options and strategies to explore, as well as other enhancements that will make the Kortstrid experience even more enjoyable and captivating.

While the Alpha release offers a glimpse of the game, the full release will bring Kortstrid to life with its complete array of features and immersive gameplay. Get ready to dive into the world of Kortstrid like never before!”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“In the current state of the Kortstrid Alpha version, players are given the opportunity to dive right into the game with a starting deck of 8 cards after creating their profile. These cards allow players to immediately engage in battles against the training bot, providing them with a chance to learn the basic mechanics and strategies of the game.

As players explore the rest of the app, they'll discover a variety of unlockable characters, banners, and other profile features that will become accessible in future updates. These elements are designed to enhance the overall gaming experience and offer a glimpse of the full range of customization options that Kortstrid will offer.

Furthermore, the Alpha version also allows players to purchase additional card packs, enabling them to start expanding their card collection and experiment with new strategies and card combinations. By participating in the Alpha, players can begin building their arsenal, honing their skills, and preparing for the full release of Kortstrid.

Keep in mind that the Alpha version represents an early stage of the game, with more features and improvements to come. Your support and feedback during this phase will help shape the development and ultimate success of Kortstrid!”

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

“Kortstrid will always be free-to-play with optional in-game purchases”

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

“At Kortstrid, we believe that community involvement is key to creating a successful and engaging gaming experience. During the Alpha and subsequent releases, we will actively involve our community in the decision-making process, ensuring that the game's development is shaped by the valuable insights and feedback of our players.

To achieve this, we will utilize various channels such as Discord, forums, and social media to facilitate open communication between our team and the community. 📢 We will regularly share updates, ask for feedback, and host polls to gauge player preferences and gather opinions on various aspects of the game, including gameplay mechanics, character designs, and future features.

Additionally, we plan to host community events, competitions, and live streams, where our team will engage directly with players, address their concerns, and gather real-time feedback. This will foster a strong sense of camaraderie among players and developers, ultimately leading to a more enjoyable and well-rounded gaming experience.

By involving our community throughout the development process, we aim to ensure that Kortstrid not only meets but exceeds the expectations of our players, creating a game that stands the test of time and continually evolves to provide the best possible experience.”
