Why Early Access?

“We’ve chosen Steam Early Access because the vision we have for our game is ambitious and expansive. Our intention is to offer a playable and enjoyable experience from the very start of Early Access, while leaving plenty of room for growth and iteration. Early Access will give us the chance to expand the game’s content and depth over time, while also inviting the community to experience it early and provide feedback. This input will help guide us as we continue to shape and refine the game.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“While it’s difficult to know for certain, our current goal is to keep the game in Early Access for around a year. That estimate may change depending on how development progresses and the kind of feedback we receive from the community. Our priority is ensuring the game reaches the level of quality and depth we’re aiming for, rather than hitting a specific date.”

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

“The Early Access version will provide a fully playable vertical slice of the game, with a robust generative setup designed to offer hours of engaging gameplay. Beyond that foundation, our current plans for development include adding more variety and depth. This may involve additional essences, deities, buildings, units, enemy types, enhanced map visuals, new perks and burdens in expedition mode, and another build tier. Our goal is to evolve the game into a richer and more diverse experience over time, making each session feel increasingly immersive and replayable.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“When we launch into Early Access, the game will include a fully-fledged skirmish mode, the first planned deity with its complete mechanics, a wide selection of unlockable essence nodes, five levels of difficulty, and a rogue-like expedition mode featuring a range of perks and burdens. Our aim is to provide a strong foundation for players right from the start, with plenty of content to explore and master while leaving room for future growth and refinement.”

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

“Our plan is to offer the game at a lower price during Early Access as a thank-you to players who join us early and support development while the game is still evolving. As the game grows in scope and polish, we expect the price may increase for the full release to better reflect the added content and features.”

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

“Our intention is to involve the community closely throughout Early Access. We plan to keep an open line of communication through Discord and other channels, where we’ll listen to feedback and carefully consider suggestions. While we have many ideas for the game’s future, we want players to be part of shaping that journey. As a small but passionate team, our commitment is to build a fun and high-quality experience informed by player input.”
