Why Early Access?

“The game is still not fully finished yet, and its balancing also in need of player feedback from a wide range of gamers before it can be considered complete. We realized that QA and internal game testing couldn't anticipate or orchestrate all of those rich situations. Having a bit of additional player feedback while completing the game, will speed up the whole process from both sides.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Early access is expected to take about three months (with an early Q1 release date schedule).”

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

“The game has a story mode and an endless mode. The Early Access version will only give access to the endless mode, so you won't be able to get units or cards that you can get in story mode. However, the two modes have the same gameplay flow, with or without a story, and while we work on the Early Access period, the story mode will be refinced properly for its full release.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“We're currently at a stage where we can get the endless mode running smoothly, and we're working on the story mode separately. The game has been well-received internally and at game shows, so we're hopeful that it will be good to go for release.”

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

“The price will stay the same after the Early Access period has finished.”

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

“Through the community, we hope to get feedback on the game's balance and fun factor. There are so many strategies that can be done with card and unit combinations in the game, and once players have tried them out, they can discuss what they liked and didn't like about them in the Steam forums. Both the publisher and the development team will be listening, and many of these things will be updated in-game.”
