Why Early Access?

“The reason for choosing Early Access is to build a “co - creation” relationship with players. On one hand, my indie game still has room for polishing in terms of gameplay and content depth. Through Early Access, I can quickly collect players’ feedback on core mechanics (such as combat feel), so that the game can iterate in a direction more in line with players’ needs. On the other hand, as an indie developer, I am eager to build a long - term communication community with players. From gameplay ideas to art style, I can communicate with players in real - time and let everyone participate in the growth process of the game from “a work - in - progress” to “a premium product”. For a small team, this “co - creation” model is the best solution to make the game more enduring.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“The Early Access period is planned to last about 1 year. As an indie dev, I need sufficient time to polish gameplay and expand content based on player feedback, ensuring the final version’s quality while letting players shape the game’s growth.”

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

“The Early Access version will first present the core gameplay framework of the game, allowing players to experience the basic core fun; the full version will build on this and differentiate itself from the Early Access version by focusing on "deepening the experience and enriching content". In terms of content, we will attempt to enrich the quest system—for example, adding more diverse quest types and dynamic branches to make the quest process more exploratory. At the same time, we will expand the equipment system, exploring more equipment traits and matching possibilities to enhance the strategic nature of the gameplay. In terms of experience optimization, we will adjust the existing maps based on player feedback to make the scene movement smoother and the exploration experience more comfortable; additionally, we will polish the game’s art assets, iterating on character details and environmental atmosphere to enhance the overall visual immersion. However, these are all optimization and expansion directions based on player feedback, with no commitments to mandatory implementation. We prefer to maintain development flexibility and work with players to drive the full version toward a more mature state.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The current Early Access version has completed the core gameplay setup. Core features such as map exploration, equipment acquisition and usage are all ready, allowing players to experience a complete basic game flow. However, there is still room for improvement in details, such as the interaction feedback of some scenes and the fine - tuning of equipment values, which will be gradually optimized based on player feedback in the future.”

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

“The price will remain unchanged after the Early Access period ends.”

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

“Given the audience characteristics of the game's theme, most of the target users are Chinese players. For this group, I will set up an exclusive QQ group as a real - time communication channel. Players can directly feedback issues or suggestions regarding core gameplay (such as combat experience, map exploration) and the equipment system in the group. I will respond promptly and update the progress of feedback handling. For non - Chinese players, I will rely on the Steam Discussions, focusing on game optimization directions (such as map adjustments, art asset polishing) and other content. I will regularly check and organize players' opinions, integrate feedback from players in different regions into the development process, and allow the community to truly participate in the iteration and improvement of the game.”
