Why Early Access?

“Due to the vast world view and the story we aim to present in "Shadow of Terra", and the fact that our studio is driven by love, we still need sufficient time and dedicated individuals to refine our story. Meanwhile, this game itself has many flaws (as the main developer's level is still relatively poor), so it needs to be optimized after a large number of friends try it out and give feedback.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“It's hard to say. It might last until the basic functions of the entire game are complete, which would take about several months to a year, depending on the developer's (my) time and the participation of everyone and the community.”

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

“At present, a considerable number of functions of this game are still unfinished. Meanwhile, as an electronic novel, the current content is only two chapters of the "Soul Line". We plan to introduce other chapters, other storylines, interacting characters, events and choices, etc. in the subsequent development process.

However... Let's take it step by step. We can't aim too high.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“It can only be said that it is playable - currently, the basic AVG functions (voice, background music, typewriter, options, ending), backpack, Settings, save and read files have been realized, and most of the recall functions have also been completed, including the display of CG/ background images, character profiles, and keyword profiles. There is no problem playing normally.”

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

“No, this is always driven by love(For Free!). The Three White Whales Studio might go bankrupt (but how could it go bankrupt without money?) But it will never go bad.”

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

“You can play this version and then contact me or join our chat and test QQ group, and send me the bugs you encounter, suggestions and optimizations, or simply feelings, so that our studio can make more improvements and optimizations to this work. Strive to release the complete version as soon as possible.

Once again, I would like to reiterate that if you have experience in development, writing, painting, dubbing, distribution, etc., please also contact me. We currently have too few developers. If possible, I hope you can join us and work together for this project.”
