Why Early Access?

“I hope to involve customers in the game's development process earlier. By collecting feedback on the gaming experience from players during Early Access, we can optimize the game to better meet players' expectations. At the same time, I also hope the game can gain attention earlier.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“About one month.”

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

“Currently, the Early Access version of Legend of the Emperor has presented players with the core gameplay of ancient emperor simulation. On this basis, the full version plans to introduce the following features:
Diplomatic Game SystemThe full version intends to add a "Diplomatic Hall" module: allowing you to conduct diplomatic maneuvers with neighboring countries — by sending envoys to sign trade agreements, form marriage alliances, or initiate negotiations and even wars in the event of border frictions. Each country has unique diplomatic tendencies and interests, and you need to skillfully use strategies such as "tribute", "marriage alliance", and "deterrence" to expand the dynasty's influence through intricate diplomacy and build an East Asian diplomatic landscape.
Official Factions and Court StrugglesWe plan to launch an "Official Factions" mechanism: forces including civil officials, military generals, and imperial relatives will form different factions, engaging in open and secret struggles over political views and interests. You need to balance power among the factions and consolidate imperial power through actions such as "promoting confidants", "suppressing dissidents", and "holding court meetings"; if factional conflicts intensify, random events like "palace coups" and "civil officials' strikes" may be triggered, making court struggles full of variables.
Cultural and Technological Development LinesWe plan to introduce a "Cultural and Technological Tree" system: enabling you to invest resources in developing fields such as Confucianism, agriculture, and engineering. Developing Confucianism can enhance officials' loyalty and people's support; researching agriculture can increase food production; and delving into engineering can unlock new weapons and buildings (e.g., improved farm tools and siege weapons). Each technology line comes with exclusive achievements and characteristic buildings, helping the dynasty achieve comprehensive upgrading from culture to productivity.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The current status of the Early Access version can be referenced in the "About This Game" section on the game's store page.”

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

“It won't change— the game will remain free-to-play permanently.”

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

“We will regularly collect feedback on the gaming experience from community discussions and reviews to optimize the game.
Players can also provide feedback via the customer support email reserved in the game.”
