Why Early Access?

“Early Access gives me the opportunity to gather valuable feedback from the community at an early stage and incorporate it directly into development.

My goal is to create the best possible experience together with the players. Through direct communication, I can make balancing adjustments, refine new features based on your suggestions, and ensure that the final game meets the expectations of the community.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Early Access will continue until all features planned for version 1.0 have been implemented and thoroughly tested. I’m aiming to release the full version later this year – depending on the nature and scope of the feedback from the community.”

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

“The full version is intended to offer players significantly more gameplay options and greater depth. New content, additional game mechanics, more variety in progression, and improvements in balancing and overall player experience are planned. The goal is to expand and refine the core systems based on community feedback gathered during the Early Access phase.

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

“I’ve decided to keep the price the same during and after Early Access. Those who choose to support the game early will get access right away without any price increase later on.”

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

“I'm developing this game as a solo developer, which makes the Steam community especially important to me. Your feedback helps me improve the game and steer it in the right direction.

The Steam community features provide a central hub for direct communication. Players can share their feedback, bug reports, and suggestions directly in the Steam forums. This gives me the opportunity to respond to posts and regularly share developer updates and patch notes through Steam announcements, keeping everyone informed about progress and planned changes. Community feedback plays a key role in prioritizing new features and improving the overall gameplay experience.

I truly appreciate every piece of feedback and every idea – it helps me tremendously in shaping the game further. Thank you for being part of this journey! 😊”
