Why Early Access?

“Currently, we have completed the main framework of the game, along with the highly crucial skill system for the player character. Specifically, this game's skill system is intricately linked to real-life, offering a unique opportunity to learn the fundamental movements of Chinese martial arts through gameplay. It essentially serves as a simulator for martial arts basics, an idea that's been brewing for quite some time and has now materialized into a playable game. I'm excited to share my creation with everyone and eagerly anticipate feedback and suggestions from the community to further refine and enhance this game.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We anticipate that this game will exit its Early Access phase within approximately 12 to 18 months, with the exact timing subject to various factors during the development process. This timeline may undergo appropriate adjustments based on development progress, feedback collection, technical challenges, and other factors.”

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

“In our comprehensive version plan, the game universe is meticulously structured into two distinct realms: the Real World and the Virtual World. The Real World segment of the game immerses players in a protagonist's journey traversing from an unknown starry expanse down to Earth. Meanwhile, the Virtual World meticulously compiles and reproduces all information encountered by the player during their adventures.

We envision a progression spanning six to eight levels, centered around the exploration of life-bearing planetary civilizations during an interstellar odyssey. Players will gather diverse data, including intelligent life forms, resources, ancient ruins, and supernatural phenomena, which are then integrated into the Virtual World. Upon completion of the protagonist's primary narrative, each traversed level remains accessible for revisits, and the intelligent beings encountered along the way retain their memories of the player character.

To cater to a broad range of age groups, our full-version plan emphasizes gameplay centered on exploration, interaction, and action. Encountering each novel life form necessitates strategic interaction, necessitating understanding of their preferences, fears, and potential triggers for aggression. Some intelligent beings might even choose to accompany the protagonist on their journey.

Throughout the game, an intelligent entity serves as a constant source of information and assistance to the protagonist. As the player accumulates knowledge, they will gain the ability to create a biological form for this AI companion, fostering a deeper bond.

In our comprehensive plan, players are relieved of the burden of manually gathering resources during their explorations. Instead, they simply need to mark locations, and the ship's resource module efficiently handles the subsequent acquisition process.

The Early Access version showcases a foundational skill system inspired by Chinese martial arts, as this heritage represents one of the earliest cultural traditions incorporated into the game's Virtual World. Within this realm, players can freely combine and utilize martial arts techniques in combat. In contrast, the Real World segment prioritizes exploration and interaction, offering a diverse and immersive gaming experience.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The current status of the Early Access version is that the overall game framework has been completed, with functional system settings and a save system in place. Players can automatically save their progress upon exiting the game.

Currently available for testing is a comprehensive skill system, which, in this version, holds greater significance than the combat system. Players can already configure their preferred combinations of martial arts moves using the skill system, and even reference and learn these moves in real life outside of the game. Some skill moves are highly challenging and require extensive training to execute smoothly. If you manage to learn and proficiently perform all the basic movements of Chinese martial arts, you have successfully completed the objectives of the Early Access version.

Please note that the combat system is not yet fully implemented.”

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

“During the Early Access period leading up to the official release, there will be no gradual increase in price due to the introduction of new content or features. The current price will remain unchanged. However, upon the official release of the full version, the price may be adjusted upwards commensurate with the game's content and functionality.”

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

“We will regularly collect players' opinions and suggestions on the content of the game related to Chinese martial arts, development progress, functions, and other aspects through community discussions and other means. We will then sort out and analyze the collected feedback and make corresponding adjustments and optimizations in game development in a timely manner to ensure that the game can better meet the needs of players.”
