Why Early Access?

“We are launching Windstorm: The Legend of Khiimori in Early Access to build a collaborative relationship with our players as we shape the game’s expansive world and deep mechanics. Early Access gives us the opportunity to gather valuable feedback, iterate quickly, and refine core systems based on our player’s feedback. Our goal is to create an immersive open world action adventure with horses at its core and we believe that this exciting ride is best taken together.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We expect Windstorm: The Legend of Khiimori to be in Early Access for many months to come as our motto is “quality over speed”. This period allows us to expand the world, polish gameplay systems, and integrate community-driven improvements. We’ll keep players updated regularly and adjust the timeline if needed to ensure the final release meets our quality standards.”

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

“The full version will feature a main story, an expanded open world, more side quests, new areas to explore, as well as refined horse- and survival- mechanics. We also plan to add voice acting, a full localization, improved performance, and deeper environmental storytelling. Player feedback will guide improvements to controls, and overall game balance.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The Early Access version includes the core gameplay loop: exploration, survival on horseback, breeding, training, and questing across a decent portion of the open world. Players can already do a large variety of courier deliveries, interact with NPCs, and uncover secrets in a richly detailed environment. While some systems are still in development, the game is stable and offers several hours of engaging content. We’ll be updating regularly with new features, bug fixes, and quality-of-life improvements!”

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

“Yes, we plan to increase the price after Early Access. Early supporters will benefit from a lower entry price and exclusive access to development updates, and “behind the scenes” content as a reward for joining us early and helping us shape the game’s future.”

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

“We’ll be actively engaging with our community through Discord, Steam, and Trello. Players will be invited to participate in feedback surveys, vote on features, and join Q&A sessions with the dev team to make sure their voice will help shape Windstorm: The Legend of Khiimori.”
