Why Early Access?

“Krodha is in Early Access because key parts of the game are still being designed and finalized, and we want players to meaningfully influence that outcome. The foundation is playable today, but several big decisions are still open during development, especially around:
Progression + meta systems: how runs evolve over time, how long-term unlocks work, and how the game rewards different playstyles.
Content shape and variety: what kinds of cards/relics/enemies we add next, how many routes/encounters a run should have, and what “good run pacing” feels like.
Difficulty philosophy: how punishing vs forgiving the game should be, how frequent build pivots are, and where the “fun challenge” line sits.
Narrative delivery and structure: how story events trigger, how much story appears per run, and what players find most engaging.
Early Access is a commitment for us to keep building the game alongside players, using community feedback to guide priorities and design choices not just polish”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We expect Krodha to remain in Early Access for roughly 3-6 months.
This range is based on the amount of system design and content expansion we still plan to do (progression, balance, UX improvements, and additional game content), and we’ll update this estimate on the store page if it changes.”

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

“We plan for the final version to be a more complete and refined game, shaped by community feedback. Compared to Early Access, Final version is expected to have:
More content variety (additional cards/relics/enemies/encounters).
A more finalized progression structure and run pacing.
Refined difficulty and balance based on real player strategies and data.
Improved UX/readability/onboarding and overall stability/performance.
We’ll be transparent about what’s in the game at each stage, and we may adjust plans as we learn from feedback”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Krodha is playable now and includes the main run-based gameplay loop: combat runs built around deck-building and dice/slot mechanics, plus progression systems and story elements that are actively being expanded and refined during Early Access.
Players should expect balance changes, usability improvements, and content adjustments as we respond to feedback.”

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

“We plan to increase the price when we leave Early Access, as the game expands with more content and reaches a final state. The Early Access price is intended to reflect the current amount of content, and early supporters get the best price for jumping in sooner.”

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

“We want the community to directly influence development priorities and parts of the game’s design. We’ll use:
Steam Community Hub (bugs, balance feedback, suggestions, discussions)
Discord (feedback channels, playtest threads, polls)

How feedback affects direction:
We’ll use reports, discussions, and play patterns to choose what to build next (content priorities), what to redesign (progression pacing, difficulty spikes), and what to tune (balance and run flow).
We’ll run community polls on selected design questions (for example: pacing preferences, difficulty expectations, UX priorities, and what content types players want more of).
We’ll publish patch notes explaining what changed and why, so players can see how feedback translates into updates.”
