¿Por qué Acceso anticipado?

“This question is quite easy to answer. For me, the most important aspect of Early Access is the opportunity to build a community or at least, I hope so. A community that supports me with feedback or contributes ideas would be invaluable, as I am working on the game alone.

The decision to enter Early Access at this point is based on the fact that I have reached a stage where I had to or wanted to make a decision. I originally started this game as a hobby project. However, as the project progressed, my ambitions grew.

Now I am at a crossroads: Do I continue working on the game as a side project, or do I try to take it to the next level and work on it fulltime?”

¿Cuánto tiempo va a estar este juego en Acceso anticipado aproximadamente?

“How long the game will remain in Early Access is a bit more difficult to answer.

Regardless of the fact that I am working on the game alone and that it is perhaps a very ambitious project, I estimate at least one year per act. However, this assumes that I can primarily focus on designing the acts, which is rather unlikely.

For example, there are still some mechanics I would like to implement. Additionally, creating skills many of which are still missing takes a significant amount of time. Not to mention the countless other tasks still on my todo list.

I will set up a timeline before or at the latest by the release, outlining the current state of development as well as upcoming content, to give a clearer picture of how I envision the future of the game.”

¿Qué tan diferente será la versión completa de la versión de Acceso anticipado?

“How the full version will look or should look is not easy to answer.

Currently, you can discover secrets, solve puzzles, find rare legendary items, build a base, craft, and explore dungeons across an area of approximately 10 m² in the first act. I plan over the next few months, about 5 m² will be added to this act.

Without trying to sell you an apple tree, I Plan to add additional quests, story quests, more secrets, and new points of interest in the future. Additionally, I have planned five more acts that I will work on in the future for the full version.

But what else will be added by the time the game reaches version 1.0… who knows?”

¿Cuál es el estado actual de la versión de Acceso anticipado?

“Currently, only the first act exists in the Early Access version.

Around 10 m² of the area is explorable, while approximately 30% is still inaccessible but will be added in the near future until the first act is fully completed.

At the start of the game, there is a small questline designed to introduce you to the game mechanics. I plan to expand this further in the near future. You can build a base for crafting and storage, solve puzzles, uncover secrets, and find unique items.

Depending on how much time I can dedicate to development, I am also working on boss and quest mechanics alongside expanding Act 1. If everything goes well, these may even make it into the game by the Early Access release.”

¿El precio del juego será diferente durante y después del Acceso anticipado?

“The current price will remain as it is for now, and in my opinion, it is affordable and fairly set. Once the game has a larger scope and is further developed, I will likely adjust the price slightly upwards. But until then, it will stay as it is.”

¿Cómo tienes planeado involucrar a la comunidad en tu proceso de desarrollo?

“Building a community for the game is very important to me.

That's why I will try to check in on Discord daily. However, I can't guarantee that I will be active there every day especially since I also have to work on a regulare job.

While I do have accounts on Reddit, Facebook, Instagram, and other platforms, I believe that Discord or the Steam Community Hub will be the most realistic and manageable places for the game’s community.

Player feedback would already be a huge help, as testing every corner of the game myself is extremely time-consuming. As the saying goes: four eyes see more than two.

No matter the form, all feedback is welcome and greatly appreciated!”
