Why Early Access?

“We currently expect Chessman Adventures to remain in Early Access for around 6–12 months. This may change depending on community feedback and the scope of future updates.”

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

“The full version is planned to include additional levels, new playable characters, more enemy types, expanded mechanics, and overall polish. We also plan to improve balance, user interface, and player experience based on feedback gathered during Early Access.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The Early Access version includes a solid foundation of the core gameplay experience. Players can choose from multiple heroes, each with unique abilities and movement styles, and take on a series of handcrafted levels with varied objectives and enemies, including boss encounters.”

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

“We may increase the price once the full version is released as more content and features are added. Players who join during Early Access will receive all future updates.”

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