왜 앞서 해보기를 진행하나요?

“The supply lines work. The factions work. The multiplayer works. The AI is readable, moddable Lua you can tear apart and rebuild. What does not exist yet is Act II, and that is the piece I refuse to ship half-finished.

Early Access means you get the core game now, you help decide what Die Schatten looks like when they break cover, and you shape every patch in between. The price reflects the stage. The updates do not stop until 1.0 and beyond.”

얼마나 오래 앞서 해보기를 진행할 계획인가요?

“Around 12 to 18 months to reach 1.0. The targets are a shipped Act II and a multiplayer balance state that feels fair to the community playing it. If either takes longer, I delay rather than rush. The game I wanted to make is worth finishing properly.”

정식 버전은 앞서 해보기 버전과 어떻게 달라지나요?

“Version 1.0 is what Early Access becomes after a year of real players tear at it. The main additions:

• Die Schatten as a playable faction. Recycling the dead. Weaponizing the chemistry the Reich was finishing when it fell. Every battle you win against them takes something out of their supply chain. Every battle you lose feeds it.

• More units, maps, and Operations layered in across Early Access, not dumped at 1.0.

• More superweapons beyond the V2, each designed to feel like its own moment rather than a reskin.

• Multiplayer matured. AI takeover if a player drops, so matches keep going. Lobby support validated up through 8 players.

• Seasonal leaderboards, community tournaments, and the features that only matter once a community exists.

• Balance driven by real match data. A year of players will find what I cannot.”

앞서 해보기 버전은 현재 어떤 상태인가요?

“Early Access launches with a complete, playable core. This is not a demo. This is the game.

• Two factions, US and Wehrmacht, each with their own unit rosters and their own feel.

• The full supply loop: convoys rolling from base to Supply Caches, Field Depots planting pockets of strength (pick offense, defense, or mobility), static defenses burning ammo from the same pool, Supply Nodes granting economy, population, or vision to whoever holds them.

• Skirmish against Lua AI at multiple difficulty levels. Pick from a library or swap in one you wrote yourself. The entire AI is Lua you can read and edit.

• Steam Workshop support for AI from launch.

• Three handcrafted WW2 Operations built for replayability, not one-and-done.

• Multiplayer on deterministic lockstep. Global leaderboards per mode and per faction. Quick-match or browse the lobby list. Invite friends through Steam.

• Every match auto-records as a shareable replay you can play back at any speed.

• Anti-cheat active from Day 1, in layers that are not published here for a reason.

• Mid-match saves in singleplayer. Steam Achievements.

You are not buying a promise. You are buying the part that already works, and you are voting on what gets built next.”

앞서 해보기 기간 전후로 게임 가격이 달라지나요?

“Yes. Early Access is priced lower to reflect that the game is still growing. As Act II and new content land, the price rises in steps. Everyone who buys during Early Access keeps every update, forever.”

개발 과정에서 어떻게 커뮤니티와 소통할 계획인가요?

“This is a one-person project. That means something concrete: your feedback does not die in a suggestion box inside a studio. It goes into the code, in the next patch.

• The Discord is where I spend my days. Vote on balance polls, share replays, report bugs, tell me what the game should lean harder into.

• The Steam forums work too. I read them.

• The Lua AI is yours to modify. Build something interesting and it might become the new default difficulty setting.

• Every balance change, new Operation, and superweapon on the roadmap came from a player asking for it. I plan to keep it that way.

If you want to know what it feels like to shape a game as it is being built, this is as close as you are going to get on Steam.”
