Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“6 months to a year”

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

The current content planned entails maps, bosses, and two new game modes, pvp and siege.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The early access will update on the demo's survival mode and a new Ascension game mode.
The game will be fully beatable on early access, but with future updates will have more areas to uncover, and more content.”

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

“We plan to slightly raise the price as we ship new content.”

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

“We want to see what catches the communities eyes, between map exploration, boss fighting, or just combat.
We'll have a discord server setup where they can share their opinions, experience, balance change requests to discuss it and have a transparent development process.
