Why Early Access?

“This is a strategy and simulation game with hundreds of factors being considered in the simulation for each game. We would like to get community feedback on the variable settings that we have established where our goal is to maximize fun, gameplay, and replay. The replay factor is key since each game is short as you travel through the simulation each time. While we feel that we have maximized the fun in the settings that we have chosen for the AI opponents, we will be happy to respond to community feedback for other variable settings and modes of gameplay.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We would like to keep the game in early access for a period of 3-6 months, with 6 months as the maximum amount of time.”

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

“We are looking to the community to let us know if the gameplay is enjoyable at the current settings. We are also looking to see if we should add other gameplay modes, with different custom settings for the user to further customize their game. If we have significant community support for a mode or rule change that we do not have in the current version, we will be glad to support that mode, change, feature in the final release version. We are also looking to the community to see if there is support for a multiplayer version of the game, and if so, we could potentially add that mode as well.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The single player game is complete and can be played from start to finish. We are looking to the community for feedback on additional modes, campaigns, alternative history, fun factor, and additional settings, features, modes, that users would like to see in the game.”

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

“Yes, we will likely increase the price of the full version depending on how much additional content we add from here.”

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

“We are very open to all feedback that we are able to generate from the gaming community that will be interested in our game and the strategy simulation genre. The game development team will review all feedback and reviews that we get from the game community and consider those suggestions in the wider context of development and tuning as we move from early access to final launch version.”
