Waarom vroegtijdige toegang?

'We chose Early Access because this game is heavily driven by feel. We want the player to experience the feel of stealth, tension, and being a spy operating in hostile territory. While all core mechanics are already implemented, we want player feedback on whether the spy fantasy truly works. We would like to know if the stealth actually feels rewarding, if the enemy behavior is fair and believable, if the missions feel tense and satisfying to complete.

Early Access allows us to gather this feedback while continuing to add historically inspired missions, levels, and narrative content, instead of waiting until everything is locked in. This helps us refine pacing, AI behavior, balance, and mission design based on real player experience, and not assumptions. '

Hoelang blijft dit spel ongeveer in vroegtijdige toegang?

'We plan to remain in Early Access for approximately 12 months. Development includes:
1. Adding the remaining story missions (approximately a total of 24 levels)
2. Adding Marathi voice-over (in addition to English voice-over)
3. Polishing AI, stealth balance, and level design
4. Performance optimization and bug fixing

Development is fully funded and we are committed to completing the game.'

Hoe zijn jullie van plan de community te betrekken bij het ontwikkelproces?

'Community feedback is core part of our development process.
We actively encourage players to share gameplay feedback, report bugs and balance issues, discuss mission design and difficulty, and talk about whether the spy fantasy feels authentic and engaging.

We have a Discord server where players can directly interact with the developers and post feedback. Insights from the community will directly influence stealth balance, enemy AI behavior, mission structure and pacing, and quality-of-life improvements.

We will also share development updates during Early Access to keep the community informed about progress and upcoming content.'
