Why Early Access?

“I want to get the game into the hands of people who may be interested so that I can work with them to grow the game into something more than it is. Early access will also help fund additional development so as to build all the additions I think would take the game from good to great.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“How long for Early access?
This is a hard question. I want to work on the game until I feel it's ready to stand on it's own with a small community of people who really enjoy playing it. I believe I can have the game in a release state in around 1 year (12 months).”

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

“The game as it is, is a vertical slice of what I wanted it to become. For the full version I have planned to increase:
- The number of King abilities
- Base Units
- Enemy types
- The number of unlockable cards
- Additional items for the shop
- Additional map events

There are also plans additional feature that are still in the concept stage that may or may not make it into the full release.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“This version of the game is playable but you will likely encounter some bugs. I am working to iron these out and will look forward to any feedback that can be provided. That being said there should be enough gameplay to gauge if this type of game is desired. As Early access suggests, this is still a work in progress.

Current Features:

- Currently you can play up to 4 others locally or via remote play
- You can unlock new card abilities by collecting gems (via beating the game)
- You can encounter the random events that spawn on the map
- The formation, stats, traits, levels, abilities, tiers and king levels are all working
- There are a couple of pickup on the map
- There are a few king ability actives (example: The starting ability is a dash)”

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

“As of the beginning of early access there are no plans for the price to change for the full release. However, this is not a guarantee as I have plans to expand the game and keeping it at the original early access price may not be feasible. That is to say, I will try to keep the price point at where it started. Price will not change when we leave early access.”

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

“I would love to get feedback on what people are enjoying the most about the game, as well as any pain points they may have. Pain points could include bugs or just features that are not quite to the level of fun that they could be.

I hope to have the community provide input on the future direction of the game through the feedback that is given. This could be new features, new events, new base unit types, new traits ect. The community will also help distill what is fun about the game so that I can focus my efforts on what's important.”
