Varför Early Access?

“I am launching my game in Early Access to gather valuable feedback from a larger player base and fine-tune the game mechanics accordingly. By engaging with the community early on, I can ensure that the core gameplay elements are both enjoyable and balanced, creating a better overall experience for the players.

During the Early Access period, I plan to analyze player feedback in detail and make necessary adjustments to improve the game. This phase will allow me to identify and fix issues, as well as implement suggested features that align with my vision. My goal is to develop a game that not only meets but exceeds the expectations of the players.

The most important mechanics of the game will be available and fully functional during Early Access, providing a solid foundation for players to enjoy. However, I will continuously add new content, expand features, and enhance the game based on player input. This approach will help me deliver a polished and complete full version when the time comes.”

“The full version is planned to include several enhancements and new features compared to the Early Access version. We plan to increase the number of content and side quests, enhance interactions in the game.

We also plan to add gamepad input controller support and include achievements. Throughout the Early Access period, I will closely monitor player statistics and crashes, making necessary adjustments and improvements. These efforts aim to bring a richer and more polished experience with the full version, packed with new features and content.”

Basic combat mechanics and the system for learning new fighting moves are also fully functional. The NPC system, quest system, and student management system are all implemented. Additionally, the UI elements have been developed and refined.”

Kommer spelet att prissättas annorlunda under och efter Early Access?

“Yes. It will be different. When we release the full version, we will raise the price for the full version.”

Hur planerar ni att involvera gemenskapen i er utvecklingsprocess?

“During Early Access stage, we will use our Discord Channel and Reddit Platform actively for taking feedback and reviews from our players. We will categorize these feedback and reviews by Bug Fixing, Suggestions and Better to Have categories.
We are also implementing Game Analytics and Firebase in order to track our players' behaviours (gameplay session, level progression, etc.), ANR & Crashes and usage statistics.

Currently we are on three different platforms in order to communicate with our players and gather their feedback. These are Reddit, Discord and X (Old Twitter). We will announce some testing organizations during Early Access.”
