Coming Soon To Early Access

The developers of this game intend to release as a work in progress, developing with the feedback of players.

Note: Games in Early Access are not complete and may or may not change further. If you are not excited to play this game in its current state, then you should wait to see if the game progresses further in development. Learn more

What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“I would love to consider Early Access players feedback while working on the missing pieces of the game. I normally update the game on a two week basis and plan to keep up that pace during EA too which could benefit the game and the players.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Considering the current state of the game right now (and my solo dev speed xD), I expect the game to be in EA from 6 months to 1 year.”

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

“My plan is to focus on adding more content and closing a couple of systems while also working more on the meta game.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Game is playable and can be completed, there are some systems to be refined, and needs more content, but there is already a complete experience that should improve over time.”

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

“Current plan is to have a lower price during early access and increase it on 1.0 release.”

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

“Right now, I mainly use Discord and the Steam Community to interact with the community. There is also a feedback form from inside the game, and I am also reading all social networks. The current plan is to shape the content and adjust the systems of the game considering the feedback of the community and my original vision of the game.”
