Proč předběžný přístup?

„Shadows of Thornkeep is developed by a solo creator. Early Access serves as a soft launch, giving me the chance to gather valuable feedback and refine the game before full release. For my previous projects, the Early Access period proved essential, as community input greatly shaped the final product and I hope to carry that same approach forward here.“

Přibližně jak dlouho bude tato hra v předběžném přístupu?

„I expect Shadows of Thornkeep to remain in Early Access for about 3–4 months. The base game is nearly finished, but I want enough time to test thoroughly, fix bugs, and polish the interface before full release.“

Jak se bude plná verze lišit od předběžného přístupu?

„The goal for the full release is to be more polished and stable, with most major issues addressed. I also plan to add endgame content beyond what’s available in Early Access. One of the first planned updates after launch may include opening the mysterious metal gate in the Thornkeep basecamp, leading to a new hub area with the Tree of Blood and additional vendors. The Tree of Blood is intended to serve as a portal to other dimensions, providing fresh challenges and new ways to progress beyond the base game.“

V jaké fázi vývoje se hra nachází?

„The core game is complete and playable. The Thornkeep camp serves as the main hub, and three expedition areas are available: the Veiled Thicket, the Black Woods, and the Swamps. Each area includes its own underground levels, unique monsters, and loot to discover. Players can currently expect around 10 hours of gameplay, with turn-based combat, grid-based exploration, party and camp management, and loot-driven progression all fully implemented.“

Změní se cena hry po skončení předběžného přístupu?

„Yes, price will increase by about 30%.“

Jak plánujete zapojit komunitu do vývoje této hry?

„As with my previous games, I’ll be closely listening to community feedback and suggestions. Watching players on YouTube or Twitch is especially helpful for polishing the interface and spotting rough edges I might miss on my own. I believe I have a solid track record here as community input played a big role in fine tuning both Blasted Road Terror and Dreadborne Drifters, and I want to continue that same approach with Shadows of Thornkeep.“
