Why Early Access?

“Red Rampant is in early access. Its development and subsequent releases are tied to the game’s narrative and episodic structure. Currently Day 1 and the beginnings of Day 2 are playable, constituting the first rewind loop and a proof of concept for the game’s central themes and mechanics. Next steps include a visual and animation overhaul alongside implementation of the combat system.

Beyond this, there are concrete plans for the next dozen days of the story and realisation of these future episodes depend on reception of the game and securing further support. The episodic structure was chosen because it suits the story we wish to tell and allows the game to grow sustainably. As the story progresses, each episode elevates in scale and scope with the aim of building momentum behind the project.

We hope players enjoy such an evocative period of Scottish history being brought to life and exploring our splintered timeline. Some choices made promise hope and others the blackest doom. How would you write Scotland’s history?”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“This game is going to be in Early Access for roughly 12 months.”

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

“The full version is planned to have a massive graphical overhaul of the characters and their animations. We aim to upgrade our Combat mechanics to enhance player control and combat challenge. Other goals include new mechanics such as The Notebook - the player's menu screen in-game. Finally, general quality of life and performance improvements.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The current version contains up to 2 hours of narrative gameplay and a mixture of extra hidden content for players to explore. The game is functional and exciting but not without bugs.”

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

“We plan to gradually raise the price as we ship new content and features.”

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

“Community feedback is an essential component for future development and we value everything we receive from our player base.

We will be revealing upcoming social media posts on our Instagram and Reddit pages.
