Varför Early Access?

“Fantasmigon is launching in Early Access to gather feedback from players as they experience the game’s fast-paced, tactical combat system. With community insights, we aim to refine gameplay balance, add unique character abilities, and expand faction diversity. Early Access allows us to build a collaborative development environment, where we can directly address community suggestions and prioritize features that enhance the player experience.”

Ungefär hur länge kommer det här spelet att vara i Early Access?

“We anticipate that Fantasmigon will remain in Early Access for about year. This timeline allows us to focus on refining gameplay mechanics, implementing community feedback, and ensuring that the game’s features reach a high level of polish and balance before the full release.”

Hur är det tänkt att den fullständiga versionen ska skilja sig från versionen i Early Access?

“In the full version of Fantasmigon, we plan to significantly expand and deepen the gaming experience. We are working on expanding the character editor and implementing a system of individual hero progression, which will allow players to improve the unique abilities of characters using points earned in battles.

We strive to increase the variety of factions by adding three new ones and expand the selection of characters by introducing three new heroes into each faction. This will be complemented by an expansion of the arsenal of available abilities, opening up new tactical possibilities.

We are also considering introducing a deadly battle mechanic, where each fight could be the last, and victory will be rewarded with progress points. We plan to improve game settings, providing more control over game actions and the interface, including customizing hotkeys.

We are working on the ability to manage the size of the game map and customize it in the lobby, as well as creating private lobbies with a chat function. We plan to add interactive objects to the map, such as placeable traps and neutral items for restoring health and armor.

An important part of development will be adding interactions with the game world: freezing water, destroying mountains, the ability to burn or create forests, and much more. We plan to introduce a new biome and improve existing ones, as well as enhance artificial intelligence and develop a story mode.

Finally, we are considering introducing a 2v2 game mode and are preparing a special surprise for dedicated fans of Fantasmigon.”

Hur är det nuvarande läget i versionen med Early Access?

“Currently, Fantasmigon is fully playable and includes core gameplay mechanics: two factions, a range of unique abilities, and a variety of terrain effects that impact tactical choices. Multiplayer is functional, and battles are set on a hexagonal grid with a selection of terrain types influencing movement and strategy. While the game provides a complete experience, we are still working on certain aspects, such as adding a comprehensive guide, keybinding options, and more lobby configuration options for multiplayer matches.”

Kommer spelet att prissättas annorlunda under och efter Early Access?

“Fantasmigon will be free-to-play both during Early Access and after full release. Our plan is to introduce optional paid DLCs, which will offer new factions and heroes. However, all purchasable content can also be unlocked through gameplay using in-game currency, allowing players to access new content simply by playing.”

Hur planerar ni att involvera gemenskapen i er utvecklingsprocess?

“Community feedback will be essential to Fantasmigon's development during Early Access. We plan to open communication channels for players to share suggestions, report bugs, and discuss game balance directly with the development team. These channels will include Steam, Discord, and our official website. Through regular updates, we will keep players informed of progress and changes, ensuring that the community plays an active role in shaping the game’s evolution.”
