Why Early Access?

“We are committed to developing our game alongside our community, and we believe that Early Access provides the ideal platform for this collaborative approach. Our Early Access release will feature fully implemented mechanics and game loops, ensuring that the quality meets the standards expected of a full release. Throughout the Early Access period, we plan to dedicate ourselves to enhancing the game by offering balance adjustments, quality of life improvements, and additional content updates, including customizations, storylines, and quests.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We anticipate a duration of approximately one year for the Early Access phase.”

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

“We plan for the full version of the game to offer an expanded universe, including an entirely new Kingdom for players to explore, a fresh chapter of the story to unravel, more Inns to establish, and an extensive array of items, events, cards, and customization options. While the core game loop and mechanics will largely remain unchanged, we are open to incorporating additional systems in the full release based on player feedback. The final version will also undergo extensive testing and quality assurance to ensure a polished experience. Additionally, we plan to introduce localizations, enhanced accessibility features, controller support, modding capabilities, and integrated Steam features such as achievements.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The current state of the Early Access version will include:

• The first part of the main story is set within a single Kingdom.
  
• Gameplay focused on serving customers food, drinks, and accommodations to generate revenue.
  
• The management of staff, including servers, cooks, and housekeepers, as well as overseeing ingredient supplies.
  
• Dynamic interactions with guests through conversations that can involve negotiation, attraction, invitations, threats, and more.
  
• Exploration of the Kingdom via adventurers dispatched to uncover treasures.
  
• Opportunities for investment in businesses and land acquisition to expand your hospitality empire.
  
• Over 30 food recipes, more than 10 drink recipes, over 20 special characters and 100 procedurally generated NPCs, 100+ cards, 300+ map tiles, and 3 Inns for development.
  
• The organization of parties at the Inn or Castle, including encounters with the King to assist in his endeavors.

“We greatly appreciate your support and, as a token of our gratitude, we will be offering a discount during the Early Access period.”

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

Additionally, for every update, we will disseminate comprehensive posts on both Steam and Discord to share the latest developments and gather your insights.
