De ce acces timpuriu?

„Our team is looking for feedback! While Crown & Capital is designed to support education and financial literacy curriculum, we've seen that it's fun for general audiences, too. We want to make the game as fun as we can for everyone.

We are specifically looking to see:

• Is the gameplay supporting financial literacy learning?
  
• Is the gameplay loop engaging, and do players want to return to it?
  
• What kind of content would players like to see next? Ex. New Events, More Purchasables, etc.

Among any other feedback that players might have to offer.”

Aproximativ cât timp se va afla acest joc în acces timpuriu?

„Development will be on pause through the rest of 2024. We are aiming to pick up production again at the start of 2025, have a substantial update by March 2025, and release later that year.”

Cum se va diferenția versiunea completă de cea disponibilă în acces timpuriu?

„We are planning for the full version to contain significantly more content. The plan is for players to experience an entire in-game year (i.e. from the 15th of March in 831 to the 1st of March in 832); currently, they should be able to play from the 15th of March in 831 until the 15th of September in 831. We are hoping to add autumn and winter-specific events as well as two new shops unlocked during autumn. We plan to add more art polish, including new animations and details. We are also hoping to give the player more opportunities to customize the town, including options like deciding the color of their castle and whether or not they play as a Lord, Lady, or Liege. We are also planning on adding audio including music and sound effects.”

Care este starea actuală a versiunii aflate în acces timpuriu?

„Currently, players are able to play through the first six months of the game. This means that they should be able to navigate through the tutorial and budget for their kingdom over the course of 12 total turns. There are several shops to purchase wants and needs from, including basic grain, luxury foods, and rent. Players can encounter several events that will force them to adjust their budgeting and spending. There are also multiple ending states depending on the player's choices throughout the half of the year. The game saves between each two week period, so players will be able to exit and come back at another time. There is currently no audio in the game.”
