Why Early Access?

“I decided to launch the game in early access because, as an independent developer, I can involve the community from the beginning and work alongside them to implement their ideas and suggestions.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“I began developing Jousting Manager in 2019, although it had a one-year hiatus in 2020. It's now in a fairly stable state, but I'm eager to hear what ideas and suggestions the community has to improve it further.

I'm confident that a launch in 2025 is entirely achievable with the community's help, feedback, and critiques.”

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

“The tournament part has been thoroughly tested and finalized, except for possible balance adjustments. However, it's in the campaign where exciting new ideas can emerge. During early access, we plan to introduce potential additions such as new random events in the campaign, and more maps to enhance the variety of 'arenas' where tournaments occur.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The player can participate in as many tournaments as they want but only in one 'arena.' This version lacks additional diversity in 'arenas.'

In the campaign mode available in this version, the player can plan training sessions, build team sports equipment, expand facilities, scout and hire knights and staff.”

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

“The price will not change when we exit early access.”

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

“I plan to involve the community primarily by listening to their ideas and suggestions. I'll be actively present on Steam forums and our Discord, answering questions and engaging in discussions. By working together, we can create a game that everyone will enjoy.”
