Varför Early Access?

“The core game system is fully playable, but the strategic depth still needs to be polished with real players. We hope to work with players to improve the gameplay experience, expand the content and explore the depth.”

Ungefär hur länge kommer det här spelet att vara i Early Access?

“Early Access lasts approximately 3-5 months. The initial phase (one month after Early Access release) is dedicated to gathering player feedback, fixing core bugs, and balancing the card and combat systems. The mid-term (one-three months) involves adding new characters, cards, enemies, new exploration areas, and optimizing the item system. The final phase (one month) involves polishing the UI, sound effects, tutorials, and storyline in preparation for the official release.”

Hur är det tänkt att den fullständiga versionen ska skilja sig från versionen i Early Access?

“In the official release, we plan to expand and improve the game based on player feedback during the Early Access phase. We plan to gradually add various new elements, focusing on adding new content and balancing adjustments. We are considering adding more new skill cards, monster cards, and items; unlocking new areas to enhance the fun of exploration; and introducing new game mechanics based on player feedback and suggestions.”

Hur är det nuvarande läget i versionen med Early Access?

“The current version of Kernel already includes a complete core gameplay loop, allowing players to experience the full combat system, deckbuilding, and exploration. Furthermore, we've included three explorable areas, 50 items, over 90 skill cards, and over 60 monsters for Early Access. Therefore, even during Early Access, you can fully enjoy the game.”

Kommer spelet att prissättas annorlunda under och efter Early Access?

“We plan to maintain the current pricing during the Early Access phase as a reward for early supporters.
The price may increase slightly once the game's content and systems become more complete in the official release.”

Hur planerar ni att involvera gemenskapen i er utvecklingsprocess?

“Our plans include:
Steam Community Feedback and Discussion Forum: Players can directly submit suggestions, bug reports, or feedback on balance issues in the community forum, which we will regularly summarize and respond to.
Development Logs and Update Previews: Development logs will be released through Steam announcements and social media to showcase new version content, system changes, and design ideas.
Version Testing and Feedback Rounds: Before major updates, we will open a testing branch to invite players to experience new features in advance and make fine-tuning based on feedback.
Transparent Development Roadmap: We will publish short-term and medium-term update plans to provide players with a clear understanding of the development direction of Kernel.”
