Чому дочасний доступ?

«Defense & Making has chosen Early Access to improve the game's overall quality and balance before its official release.
While the core systems and worldbuilding are already implemented, we aim to refine elements such as game balance, pacing, and content diversity based on real player feedback.

Early Access allows us to engage directly with players, gather feedback, and incorporate improvements in response to their experiences.
Our goal is to create a more polished, enjoyable, and player-centered game by iterating on community input.

We see Early Access not as a pre-release phase, but as an essential part of building the best possible experience for our players.»

Як довго гра буде у дочасному доступі?

«We expect Defense & Making to remain in Early Access for approximately one year.»

Чим повна версія гри буде відрізнятися від версії для дочасного доступу?

«The Early Access version includes the full core gameplay loop, one playable stage, randomized tile and card combinations, trap and monster placement mechanics, and a partial branching quest.

In the full version, we plan to expand the content and systems with:

Up to 4 total stages with varied layouts and mechanics

A research system to unlock and upgrade tiles, cards, and monsters

An in-game shop system for customizing strategies

Expanded narrative content and more questlines

Additional monster types, tile effects, and environmental features

We will continue refining the game’s balance, visuals, and user experience based on player feedback throughout Early Access.»

Який поточний стан версії для дочасного доступу?

«The current version is stable and fully playable. It includes:

One complete stage with randomized tiles and cards

Full dungeon-building mechanics (designing paths, placing traps and monsters)

A sample story quest with player choices

A working save/load system

A complete and polished UI/UX for the core game loop

The game already offers its fundamental experience. Additional content and systems will be added gradually throughout Early Access.»

Чи буде відрізнятися ціна гри протягом дочасного доступу та після його завершення?

«No. The price of the game will remain the same after Early Access.
We may offer temporary discounts or promotional pricing during Early Access, but we are not planning to raise the base price upon full release.»

Як ви плануєте залучати спільноту до розробки гри?

«We plan to engage with our players through Steam forums and Discord.
We will actively collect and respond to feedback related to game balance, new content ideas, and overall user experience.

Community input will be especially important when testing new features or planning future updates.
We also intend to share regular development updates, conduct feedback polls, and involve players early in content testing.»
