Miksi Early Access?

Tapper’s Fiefdom mixes idle/clicker progression with real-time strategy, and getting that balance right depends on how the economy grows and how fast combat escalates. Early Access gives us the space to adjust those systems while people are actually playing the game. Community feedback helps us see where the pacing feels good, where it drags, and where the strategy needs more depth, so the experience becomes enjoyable rather than a simple race for bigger stats.

Miten kauan peli tulee arviolta olemaan Early Access -vaiheessa?

We expect Tapper’s Fiefdom to stay in Early Access for about 6 to 12 months, but that’s a flexible window. If players point out areas that need more work or we decide to add extra features along the way, we’ll take the time needed to do it properly.

Millä tavoin lopullinen versio tulee eroamaan Early Access -versiosta?

We’re planning to grow the game a lot as it develops. Here’s what we’re working toward:

* New building tiers and more specialized production options, like an Armorer or expanded Steelworks.
* Deeper RTS combat with added mechanics and new enemy types.
* Larger Research trees to give the late game more direction and progression.
* More dynamic events and richer interactions with characters like the Trader and the Alchemist.
* Improved visuals, a cleaner UI, and additional Steam achievements.

This list may evolve, but it reflects the kind of depth and variety we want the full version to offer.

Mikä on Early Access -version tila tällä hetkellä?

The main gameplay loop is already in place and fully playable. Right now, the game includes:

* A working resource system where you gather and manage your economy.
* Building construction and upgrades for key structures like Housing and the Barracks.
* Unit training and two ways to fight: direct RTS control or an auto-resolve option.
* A functioning event system with dynamic choices that can shift your strategy.

These systems form the foundation of the experience, and they’re already up and running.

Muuttuuko pelin hinta Early Access -vaiheen jälkeen?

We plan to gradually raise the price as we ship new content and features. Early supporters will keep the game at the lower Early Access price.

Miten yhteisö otetaan mukaan kehitysprosessiin?

We will be actively monitoring the Steam Community Hub and reading reviews. Player feedback is essential for balancing the economy (resource costs, unit stats) and fixing bugs. We invite players to share their ideas for new buildings and events to help shape the final version of our game.
