Why Early Access?

“Kaetram started off as a small prototype that has slowly evolved through the help of the community and various volunteers. We officially launched our beta access on October 7th and have been working tirelessly to implement many suggestions that the player base has provided us with. These include noted items, bank tabs/search, improvements towards combat mechanics, tweaks towards drop rates, and so much more. Whenever possible we consult with the community and host votes towards major features that we will be implementing. We currently have a roadmap to roughly indicate the direction that the game will be taking.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We expect to remain in early access beta for at least another 6 months. Once we can grow our community and our development studio a bit, we can expect to speed up our progress substantially. We will remain in early access until we can sort out almost all the current bugs and issues with the gameplay, and until we can fully rewrite our game client to a more stable game engine such as Godot.”

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

“As previously mentioned, we aim towards converting our existing game client to use Godot in order to use the latest graphical enhancements and features (lighting, particles, shaders, etc). We aim to launch many more features before we are deemed the 'full version.' We want to have at least 75 engaging quests, daily/weekly activities, many more achievements, more complex boss mechanics, more engaging gameplay when it comes to combat (special passive/active abilities, magic spells, etc), and lastly we want to incorporate many more minigames into the current gameplay.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The early access contains all the important features we've envisioned so far. Things like combat, skilling, open-world exploring, questing, special achievements, stores, player-to-player trading, multi-world support, parties with experience sharing and loot sharing, player guilds, and special abilities are all implemented thus far. For a more thorough explanation of these features refer to our "About This Game."”

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

“No, the game will remain free.”

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

“The community can report bugs and make suggestions as to what would be an improvement to the gameplay on our Discord server. Furthermore, we occasionally have votes on major features that we will be implementing into the game in the nearby future.”
