Why Early Access?

“As an independent developer working on my very first game, Early Access provides the perfect opportunity for gradual development while gathering valuable feedback. The game is evolving step by step, and I’m continuously learning and improving through every update. With the support of the community, I aim to shape this game into a deeply refined experience over time.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“The plan is to remain in Early Access for approximately one year, during which I will complete the rest of the content, polish the experience, and implement player feedback to ensure the full release meets expectations.”

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

“We plan to include the following additions in the full release:

Additional regions including the final area and final boss fight

Completion of all Tombstones with full lore and endings

Additional weapons, armor sets, and runes

Optional side quests and hidden mini-bosses

Full balancing for weapons, enemies, and skills

Final visual polish and improved lighting/post-processing

Steam achievements and full Steam Cloud support

Final round of performance and optimization passes

Please note that all future content is subject to change based on development progress and community feedback.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The current Early Access version includes:

Four fully explorable regions, each with unique environments and enemies

The core combat system including sword and shield mechanics

The "Burn" system and the five main player stats (Fitness, Agility, Power, Resilience, Anger)

Spirit upgrades, rune system, and partial equipment system

Boss fights against the Four Catastrophes

Functional UI and inventory

Basic lore system via Tombstones (grave markers)

Progression up to the third major region

Initial implementation of performance optimizations”

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

“Yes, the price will increase gradually as more content is added throughout Early Access. Each major update will bring small price adjustments that reflect the growing value of the game, while still keeping it affordable. Early adopters who support the project from the beginning will benefit from a lower price as a reward for believing in the vision of a first-time solo developer. This approach ensures that players receive fair value at every stage of development while encouraging early support.”

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

“I plan to stay highly engaged with the community by actively monitoring reviews and participating in a Discord server (coming soon). I will be open to suggestions, bug reports, and ideas for improvement, and will strive to implement changes where possible to enhance the game based on player input.”
