Why Early Access?

“I want to make this game the best it can be—and I believe that requires building it with real players.

I’ve been developing this project for a while and it’s finally taking shape into what I envisioned: an isometric RPG/strategy/management idler where NPCs think, queue tasks, and collaborate, while a living world grows from small settlements into a thriving realm.

Why Early Access?
Early Access helps in two crucial ways. First, your feedback at scale will shape balance, surface edge cases, and guide content priorities—based on real play, not just my test scenes. Second, it provides the resources to bring in help on specialized areas like art, audio, and UX so the whole experience reaches the level it deserves.

In short: the game is “fun and playable” in its early form, but far from finished. If you’re excited to experiment, comment, suggest, and report, I’d love to build this with you. Welcome to Early Access.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Probably in 2027.
We will continue adding more things even after the full release”

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

“We plan to expand Chronominion Idler with the following features as development continues toward full release:

15+ planned jobs
Over 150 skills
400+ collectible and craftable items
Additional biomes and exploration regions
New types of resources and critters
More buildings, crops, and tile varieties
Additional merchants and trading features
More upgrades, refinements, and automation tiers
Expanded core mechanics such as skill mastery, equipment upgrades, companions, and modding systems
Quality-of-life improvements and UI/UX polish
Performance and stability optimizations

Ongoing balance adjustments across skills, enemies, economy, and progression — guided by Early Access feedback and player data

We also intend to continue evolving the game even after its full release, based on community input and long-term design goals.”
