What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“Flames in Modern Europe is a complex strategy game with very big ambitions and very low funding. It's being developed by one person, and I chose early access to involve players in the development process, get feedback, and gradually improve the game's mechanics, balance, and content.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“The duration of the Early Access is currently unknown. We plan to release the full version when the game is fully finished and meets our expectations. It is estimated that this could happen by November 2026, but the timeline may change depending on the development progress.”

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

“We plan to add a storyline and content unique to most European countries, as well as introduce new mechanics that will facilitate deeper interaction with the world. Our goals include improved character development, an updated combat system, and significant improvements to the visuals, including the interface, 3D graphics, textures, and map detail.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The game is currently quite playable and can offer an interesting experience, although there are still bugs and some mechanics are not implemented. For a detailed list of available features and content, please refer to the “About This” section.”

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

“Most likely, yes. The price of the game will increase after leaving the early access.”

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

“I, Volodymyr Marsenko, the game's developer, actively involve players in discussions and improvements. This applies to both the Steam Community and social networks, both personal and dedicated exclusively to the game, such as Telegram, Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube. The game also has an in-game bug report feature that all players can use.”
