Miért a Korai Hozzáférés?

„Trade Empire is a trade-focused strategy simulation game "developed by a single person", combining various mechanics to offer players a better experience.

Unlike classic strategy games, I believe it's crucial to continuously improve the game based on player feedback to create a completely trade-focused and, most importantly, exciting game. Furthermore, as this is the developer's first project and a significant portion of the budget allocated for the game has been exhausted, we decided to release Trade Empire in Early Access to make it the best game of its kind.

Please support us so we can make Trade Empire the best it can be together.”

Körülbelül mennyi ideig lesz ez a játék a Korai Hozzáférésben?

„Considering the size of the game's maps, the systems planned within the game, and the possibility of new mechanics being requested by the community, reaching the full release will take at least two years.

During early access, we will update the game as planned, actively add content, and improve game mechanics.

Depending on the development and feedback process, we may consider extending the early access period or releasing the game if we deem it complete.”

A tervek szerint miben fog különbözni a teljes verzió a korai hozzáférésűtől?

„While the core mechanics of the game are currently available, we plan to add additional content in the full release, inspired by community feedback.

We also aim to continue working on future graphical improvements, gameplay and opponent difficulty balance adjustments, and bug fixes during the Early Access period.”

Milyen állapotban van jelenleg a korai hozzáférésű verzió?

„The Early Access version includes playable content.
- Merchants can be created, heirs can be assigned by selecting family and background, and heirs can be sent for training.
- Cities' production is renewed every 2 weeks, and goods not in city stocks can be brought to the city market by external merchants.
- Goods can be transported by sea or land via more than 100 routes between cities; transported goods can be added to inventory or sold in the market.
- A tax system will be implemented based on buying and selling; penalties may apply if taxes are not paid, or loans can be obtained from the bank.
- Vehicles used on routes can be rented or purchased for a certain period. Depending on the type of danger these vehicles may encounter on their routes, it is possible to lose some or all of the goods. Additional security measures are active to counter this.
- Stats that form the basis of diplomatic relations are maintained separately for each city, and these stats allow for the acquisition of more than 75 different missions. Stat boosts can be obtained through 24 different diplomatic actions.
- The Advisor, who assists the player throughout the game, explains the game to the player in a simple way without requiring an additional tutorial.”

„The game price is planned to increase closer to the official release date.”

Hogyan tervezitek bevonni a közösséget a fejlesztés folyamatába?

„We welcome feedback from various sources, including Steam forums, Twitter, Discord, LinkedIn, and other social networking sites.

We actively plan to implement new content and system improvements that were not initially planned but will meet player expectations.

We believe Trade Empire will be a community-developed game rather than a one-person-developed game.”
