What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“Game development is a rather lengthy yet fascinating process. The game has been in development for several years and is undergoing active refinement. It has now reached the Beta tage, where players are introduced to the storyline, and is being actively refined: new and interesting features are being added. Minor bugs are being fixed, and existing features are being polished to perfection.

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“The most challenging part of development namely, building the foundation is now complete. The game is currently in the phase of introducing the story and the key characters involved in it. But, as we all know, good things take time, and the game world will expand gradually, offering a small surprise with each update.

The estimated development time is several years until the project is fully completed.

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

“Yes.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Work on the game is 50% complete”

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

“The price will remain largely unchanged, except for inflation adjustments. Since the amount was chosen to be minimal in order to recoup the time and effort, the money is only needed to develop the project and buy time to work on it, so that everyone can afford to enjoy the game without feeling the burden of the price in the store.”

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

“We take players' opinions and suggestions into account, and the most interesting ideas may make it into the game. Also, our favorite players can always report any sneaky bugs they find, and we'll fix them as quickly as possible.”

About This Game

DarkShine is an open world game in classic graphic style where you will meet a former soldier who left the war to save his life and settled in a small but progressive village “Gudwine” that lived a peaceful life, until one day an evil in white armor destroyed their peaceful life. In this game you have the opportunity to develop by running errands for people, earn money for decent equipment, improve this equipment, do farming in your free time and even get your own ship, immediately going to sea on it as a deliveryman of goods between ports. And of course don't forget to save the world along the way, as the Capital is already surrounded by a white army. Where to look for adventure depends only on you. But evil never sleeps, so evolve to fight back when the time comes, find out the main secret of the Shadow or forever be stuck in the loop trying again and again.

AI Generated Content Disclosure

The developers describe how their game uses AI Generated Content like this:

AI should not take away people's jobs and turn paintings into posters, which is why DarkShine is developed as much as possible by human hands and their exuberant artistic impulses. In some rare moments, such as improving blurred textures and mechanical issues, it acts as an assistant where it is necessary to write a complex system with complex and comprehensive code without involving highly paid specialists. The majority of the game is the work of a living person with all their small achievements and mistakes.
