Why Early Access?

“To leverage quick and dirty iteration to achieve a better end product and gain access to features that couldn't have been launched with.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“1 year from early access launch to the Gold Disc; may remain in early access until chess is solved.”

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

“Early Access was competing with Chess Titans. The full version at its peak will have no Steam equivalent.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Every early access milestone of the original launch was met before the first anniversary; with a gutted CPU auto-battler short of a full campaign. Still in development.”

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

“The one planned price jump occurred with some backlash. The hope is that when the game launches at the full price of $9.60 customers will be satisfied with its offerings, for now the game remains in early access at $4.99 for the foreseeable future.”

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

“Development has completely exceeded the original goals, but postings and community engagement has been light. As of writing the game has 0 active players. I see no issue; build it and they will come. This is good Chess.”
