Why Early Access?

“Early access for Episode 1 was a huge success. With feedback from the community, the game grew and flourished with each release.

I want to repeat that with Episode 2, with the story being woven and shaped by the feedback of players, polls and suggestions. With such a huge number of characters, it opens up opportunities to add content players want that wouldn't fit within the normal story.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“The goal is 1 - 2 years, but subject to change depending on how development proceeds.”

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

“The plan for this episode is to complete the main story, as well as the storylines for each of the main characters.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The episode continues from where Episode 1 left off and currently has a a few story scenes for the main story and characters. It has the same free roam as Episode 1, but with a rebuilt framework. Many of the repeatable scenes from episode 1 have been ported over and improved.

For the first release, there will only be 2-3 story scenes per character, as a lot of effort has been focused on building the new framework and including scenes to help pass the time so players always have things to see between story scenes. Additional updates from V0.2 onwards will focus more on story content.”

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

“Yes, Early Access supporters will get the game at a discount compared to the planned launch price.”

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

“The community is involved through polls, discussion on the Discord server as well as feedback from various websites and forums discussing the game. I often ask for feedback or suggestions of what players would like to see, within the bounds of what I would like to add. Many scenes in the game currently were influenced by player decisions.”
