What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“As I'm currently the only developer, I'd like to involve the community in the game's development, so that we can discuss existing and future features.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“I plan to stay in early access for about a year, as I don't want to keep this status indefinitely.

So the game will be released from early access around March/April 2026.”

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

“More professions such as alchemists and jewelers, more base building elements, magic, diplomacy, improved combat system, more replayability, graphic overhaul, modding...

Existing features may also evolve, depending on feedback from the community for example.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The 1st version of the game (V0.1) will be fully playable, and will hopefully offer several dozen hours of gameplay.

All the main features listed in the “ABOUT THIS GAME” section will be present.

On the other hand, you can expect to encounter bugs and performance problems with this 1st version, which is one of the reasons why I'm releasing this game in early access.”

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

“Yes, the early access game will be discounted. I plan to raise the price slightly once when V0.5 is released, and again when V1 is released (early access exit).”

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

“The two main ways of communicating with the community will be Discord (https://discord.gg/mNefH8B5tH) and Reddit (https://www.reddit.com/r/kingskeeper), where everyone will be welcome to give their opinion, positive or negative, make suggestions or simply discuss the game or anything else.”
