Why Early Access?

“This is our first game, we’re a small team, and we want to get your feedback. Help us find bugs, give gameplay and balance feedback, and help us make Matchmaker: Dungeon Heart the best it can be.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We are planning to be in Early Access for the rest of 2024, with a 1.0 release around the end of the year.”

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

“A big addition is voice acting! We’ve already done recordings with professional VOs, so it’s only a matter of time before the character’s voices will be in the game.

Additionally, we have a lot of gameplay features planned for the full release. We have new training fights and invasions in the works (including a final boss to cap off the story), more dungeon activities for you to spend your resources on, and new research to provide fresh options on how you battle in the matchmaker. The fully released game will have twice as many in-game days as currently available to give you enough time to make use of all the new content.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The current state of the Early Access version has everything described in the "About this game", though some content is not yet in the game.

Currently, half of the game’s intended length is implemented, there are some placeholder art assets in use, some options have been restricted, and there is some placeholder dialogue in the daily and date conversations, towards the latter part of this version.

We plan to update the game regularly to fill in these placeholders as they are completed, as well as patch bugs and tweak balance in line with the community’s suggestions.”

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

“The game is currently 33% off while in Early Access. We will end this discount once we finish early access.”

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

“We plan to make good use of the Steam forums and update posts to keep the community up to date on how development is going, and allow players to give feedback on the game.”
