Why Early Access?

“We chose Early Access to involve the community in refining Vanguard Princess Restart as it evolves. As a competitive anime fighting game, gameplay balance, controller support, and online features benefit significantly from real player feedback.

Early Access allows us to test systems such as combat mechanics, assist systems, and multiplayer functionality in a live environment while continuing to improve performance, UI, and overall player experience.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We expect the game to remain in Early Access while core systems, additional content, and gameplay refinements are developed and tested with community input.

The duration will depend on development progress and feedback, particularly around gameplay balance, feature completeness, and online functionality.”

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

“We plan for the full version to expand on the current foundation with improvements and additional content such as:

Expanded gameplay features and system refinements

Additional polish across UI/UX and presentation

Continued balancing of characters and mechanics

Enhancements to multiplayer and matchmaking systems

Additional modes, content, or progression systems

These updates will be guided by player feedback and ongoing development priorities.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The Early Access version is fully playable and includes:

Core fighting gameplay with multiple characters

Local versus modes (Player vs CPU, CPU vs CPU)

Story Mode and Challenge Mode

Assist character system

Controller and keyboard support

Initial UI systems and gameplay flow

Some features, such as online play, additional polish, and expanded systems, are still being refined or may be introduced during Early Access.”

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

“We may adjust pricing over time as new content, features, and improvements are added during Early Access.

Our goal is to ensure that the price reflects the overall value and scope of the game as development progresses.”

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

“We plan to actively involve the community through:

Player feedback from Early Access builds

Community discussions and bug reports

Iterative updates based on gameplay data and user experience

Transparent communication through updates and announcements

Community input will play a key role in shaping gameplay balance, feature priorities, and overall direction.”
