Why Early Access?

“As a solo developer, I thrive on creating games in collaboration with the community. My previous titles, Love of Magic and Morningstar, evolved significantly thanks to player feedback and regular updates. With Wings of Empire, I aim to continue this approach. Players can join our active Discord server with thousands of members to share feedback, catch previews, and be part of shaping the game’s development.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Based on previous projects, I estimate 6-9 months in Early Access, with each act taking ~2-3 months to develop. This pace may adjust based on feedback and development progress.”

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

“Right now you’ll get to experience Acts 1-4 but the full game will hopefully contain another two acts. I intend to keep adding new content at a steady pace, expanding the story, introducing new characters, and fleshing out the sandbox gameplay. I'm active on Discord (https://discord.gg/NQrQrht) and here on Steam's Discussion board, so let me know if there's issues!”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The Early Access build spans Act 1-4, covering 75 in-game days, sandbox content, and 8 love interests. Players can expect approximately 8-10 hours of story-focused gameplay. New content is constantly rolling out on the Beta branch.”

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

“Yes, the game will be priced differently. During Early Access, Wings of Empire will have a lower price as a thank-you to everyone who supports me and helps shape the game during development. When the game is closer to completion, the price will increase to reflect the added content and polish. Early supporters are a huge part of this journey, and this is my way of showing appreciation for your trust and feedback.”

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

“I’ve found that involving the community is the best way to make a great game, and I plan to continue that with Wings of Empire. For my previous games, Love of Magic and Morningstar, I released new beta content 1-2 times a week, and the amazing community on Discord helped by providing feedback on bugs, balancing, and new features. I’ll be doing the same here: beta testers get early access to updates, and once an Act is fully tested and polished, it will move to the Default branch for players who prefer a complete and focused experience. This collaborative process has worked wonderfully, and I’m excited to continue building this game with you!”
