What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“Early Access allows us to gather valuable player feedback, fine-tune game balance, and prioritise the content and features players enjoy most. As a small team, working closely with the community will help us deliver the best possible version of the game for its full release.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We currently expect Zodiac Mountain to remain in Early Access for approximately 6–12 months. The exact timeline will depend on player feedback and ensuring the game reaches the quality we expect before its full release.”

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

“We plan to introduce additional cards, relics, enemies, events, and gameplay systems, along with a third mountain with the final Zodiac Boss. We also intend to add more playable starting classes, expand the game's narrative, and continue improving balance and overall polish based on community feedback.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The Early Access version contains all of the game's core gameplay systems and mechanics. Players can experience the first two mountains, three unique starting classes, a wide variety of cards, relics, enemies, and events, providing a complete and replayable gameplay loop while additional content is developed.”

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

“Yes. We plan to increase the price when the game leaves Early Access to reflect the additional content, features, and improvements added throughout development.”

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

“We plan to regularly engage with the community through Steam Community Hub and Discord, ensuring player feedback helps shape the journey towards the full 1.0 release.”
