Why Early Access?

“Early Access allows me to involve the gaming community early in the development process. By releasing Tidehaven: Ale & Trade in Early Access, I can gather valuable feedback, implement player suggestions, and refine the game based on real user experiences. This collaborative approach ensures that the final release meets the expectations of our diverse player base.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“While the exact duration may vary based on the feedback and features I plan to implement, I anticipate Tidehaven: Ale & Trade to remain in Early Access for approximately 6-12 Month. This timeframe allows me to iterate on the game, introduce new content, and ensure a polished and feature-rich experience before the full release.”

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

“I plan to expand the game by adding features such as a more detailed customization via discovery system and mechanics like mini-games and timed events. My goal is to improve the overall design and idle elements by introducing deeper economic system with Town Building feature which is one of the unique part of the Tidehaven. These updates are planned based on the development process and player feedback.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“During Early Access, the core feature of the game will focus on managing and upgrading your inn with a wide range of customization options. Players will be able to expand their inn by adding new rooms, unlocking additional gameplay mechanics, and gaining access to more diverse decoration and personalization choices reflects the style of 15-17th Medieval Centuries.

Beyond inn upgrades, players can trade with traveling merchants to optimize profits, unlock new products to sell, and complete various achievements tied to gameplay progression. Some of these tasks will even lead to the discovery of mini-games, offering surprising twists and delightful rewards along the way.”

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

“I'm not planning a price increase at this point.”
