What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“We're excited to bring our game to the gaming community, and we think Early Access is the perfect way to do it. We want to engage players from the early stages and use their valuable feedback to help us shape and improve the game over time.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We estimate that the game will be in Early Access for a rough period of development that could extend until mid-2024, as long as development conditions are met as planned. We want to make sure we deliver a solid and polished experience before its full release.”

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

“The full version of the game will be an even richer and more complete experience compared to the Early Access version. In the current state of Early Access, we have completed the first chapter of the game, which consists of 15 unique scenarios and features all units from two of the seven major factions. As we move forward, we plan to add more content, expand the remaining factions, and refine the gameplay even further.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Currently, we have completed the first chapter of the game, which includes 15 unique scenarios and features all units from two of the seven major factions. While we already have a solid foundation of gameplay, we will continue to optimize, balance, and improve based on player feedback.”

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

“The Early Access entry price will be free so that all players can experience and contribute to the evolution of the game. As we complete the development phases and add more content, we plan to introduce specific pricing that reflects the enhancements and breadth of the final experience.”

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

“We greatly value feedback from our players and plan to engage the community in a number of ways. We will maintain constant communication through our Discord server, where players can share their opinions, ideas and bug reports. We can't wait to work together with the community to make the game the best it can be."”
