Why Early Access?

“We are launching in Early Access to involve the community in balancing the game's core mechanics and validating the art style. While the foundation of our 2D platformer with RPG elements (combat, character progression, expeditions) is solid, we believe player feedback is crucial. It will help us fine-tune the difficulty curve of platforming levels and boss fights, and ensure the loot system feels rewarding before the full release. We want to build the game together with our players.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We're planning to keep the game in Early Access until roughly July 30th, 2026 - that's our best estimate for now. For us, quality comes first: we'll only leave Early Access once all the core features are polished and the experience feels complete. We'll keep you in the loop as development progresses, and we won't call it a full release until the game meets our standards and your expectations.”

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

“The full version aims to be a more complete and polished experience. Based on your feedback, we plan to:
-Expand the inventory system to allow for more gear variety and deeper character customization.
-Add new difficulty levels for expeditions to challenge veteran players.
-Introduce new types of helpers (Entourage) with unique buffs and abilities.
-Continuously improve the UI and layout for a smoother, more intuitive experience.
-Potentially add more levels, enemies, and bosses if the community responds well to the core gameplay loop.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The current version is fully playable and includes:
-The core expedition system with a set of hand-crafted platforming levels.
-Initial implementation of the Entourage - you can recruit and level up helpers who grant active buffs.
-A basic version of the inventory and loot system - you can find and equip items dropped by enemies.
-The first few boss fights.

We are actively developing the features listed in the 'About This Game' section, and this section will be updated as major milestones are reached.”

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

“The game is completely free. It will remain free-to-play after we leave Early Access - no price changesю We want to respect our community and thank everyone who joins us during development and helps shape the game.”

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

“Community feedback is at the heart of our Early Access plan. We will be:
-Actively monitoring the Steam Community Hub for discussions, bug reports, and suggestions.
-Creating specific discussion threads for feedback on level difficulty, boss balance, and UI layout.
-Using your input to help us prioritize which features (from our 'planned' list) to work on next.
-Publishing regular development updates (news posts) to keep everyone informed about our progress and roadmap.”
