What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“This is a project by one developer, so I will use Early Access to gather feedback and help Card Engine reach its full potential before I label it a finished product. I look forward to collaborating with the community to create a better app together.”

Approximately how long will this software be in Early Access?

“The goal is to release either late 2024 or early 2025.”

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

“The full version of the app is planned to have additional features, changes and improvements influenced by community feedback during Early Access. I also plan to conduct additional polishing and bug fixing during the Early Access period. I also have plans to localize the app before release.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The Early Access version is fully usable and includes all the content and features described or shown on the store page for designing, managing, and exporting cards to image files.”

Will this software be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“The price might change when we leave early access.”

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

“I am active on the Steam forums, and I have started a Discord server. I welcome all suggestions, feedback, and bug reports for Card Engine to help it reach its full potential before the full launch.”
