Why Early Access?

“Early Access offers an opportunity to enhance and refine the game with your valuable feedback. Balancing a complex RPG system requires extensive playtesting. Fine-tuning the various game mechanics, character progression, and difficulty levels. The iterative process of Early Access will help create a more balanced and enjoyable game for everyone.

My past experiences, launching a game with Early Access and without one, have shown me that a soft launch offers significantly more time and resources to refine everything so that the final version of Erannorth Renaissance meets both my high standards and yours.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Erannorth Renaissance will be in Early Access for at least 2 years. Perhaps longer. I want to invest the necessary time to craft the best game possible. So, if you're hesitant about engaging with a game still in development or prefer not to wait for the final version, I suggest wish-listing it and seeing how it'll turn out.

This project is a passion of mine, and I value the gaming community's trust and support immensely. Your feedback during this phase is crucial for developing the Erannorth Renaissance, helping shape it into a game we can all be proud of.”

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

“Game development, especially as a solo developer, can be unpredictable. I will work diligently to bring the full vision of the Erannorth Renaissance to life, but my commitment is foremost to transparency.

There are several planned additions: more content, side quests, characters, and storylines to deepen the game world and offer you more choices. Refine and expand the game mechanics, such as combat systems and character progression, for a more dynamic gameplay experience. Enrich the narrative, lore, and character development, and reach a more immersive and emotionally engaging story. Polishing and bug fixes throughout Early Access and, of course, integrating your feedback.

All that said, if you aren't happy with the game's current shape, consider waiting instead for the full release.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The Early Access version of Erannorth Renaissance offers a complete experience that reflects the game's core vision. In the current build, you can expect:

• A main storyline that acts as an introduction to a vast sandbox world.
  
• An expansive sandbox world full of adventures and NPCs to meet. You can explore several key location of the game world, and gather insights into the setting and lore.
  
• All the core game mechanics to experience the game's strategic depth, combat, character progression, and exploration.
  
• Character Customization System that will allows you to personalize your journey.
  
• Fundamental UI and Interaction Systems. Fully functional, with future enhancements planned based on your feedback.

While this version provides an extensive experience, please note that it remains a work in progress.”

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

“Yes, the pricing for Erannorth Renaissance will reflect its evolving state of development. During Early Access, the game is offered at a lower price point. This is in recognition of players who are joining early, contributing feedback, and are part of the development journey. As the game progresses through Early Access and becomes more polished with additional content and refinements, the price will gradually increase.”

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

“As a solo developer, my interaction with the community is a vital part of my process. I value your feedback, and while I may not agree with every suggestion, I will surely listen to and consider your ideas. So that Erannorth Renaissance will be a game we can all be proud of.

Here's how you can expect to be involved in the development process:

• Expect regular updates about the game's progress and changes, keeping you informed and involved as it develops.
  
• I'm active on the Steam Community Hub and Discord, where I engage in discussions, gather feedback, and address your concerns and suggestions.
  
• Transparency is a cornerstone of my communication. I'll share the reasoning behind decisions and the integration of feedback, balancing your opinions with my vision for the game.
