What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“As the game has reached its current state, receiving various forms of feedback is becoming an essential step in making it a better game. Therefore, proceeding with Early Access is crucial for me to create the highest quality game I can offer as a beginner solo developer.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“The plan is to release the game in the summer of 2026.”

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

“The addition of bosses, more pieces, upgrade cards, rules, and an achievement system. I also plan on improving and making small changes to the main concept of the game depending on community feedback.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The current version contains a fleshed out gamplay loop, the basic pieces found in normal chess, 14 upgrade cards, and 6 rules.”

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

“The price is expected to increase when the game hits full release.”

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

“I value community feedback a lot and will work with players to improve the game either on the Steam community page or on my YouTube channel.”
