Wozu Early Access?

„Kneel! is a systems-driven game — a living city built on behavior, needs, and social pressure.
The simulation is complex, and it’s impossible to predict every reaction of its citizens or how players will use the tools of control.

Early Access allows us to refine these systems directly with the community: to see which mechanics feel natural, which need balance, and which stories emerge from the chaos.

Our goal is not to release faster — but to release better, together with players who want to watch the city evolve from its first breath.“

Wie lange wird dieses Spiel ungefähr den Early Access-Status haben?

„Kneel! is planned to remain in Early Access for several months up to one year.
The duration will depend on player feedback, system stability, and the scope of additional districts and mechanics added during development.
We’ll leave Early Access once the city feels complete and its systems truly alive.“

Wie soll sich die Vollversion von der Early Access-Version unterscheiden?

„Kneel! is actively evolving during Early Access.
The current version focuses on core systems such as NPC behavior, social influence, and city exploration.

Development may explore expanding the city structure, experimenting with new districts, and deepening interactions with residents over time.
Some mechanics and systems may change, be reworked, or removed as the game evolves based on feedback.

We also plan to add progression, character development, and optional storylines that reveal the true nature of the city and your influence within it.“

Was ist der derzeitige Stand der Early Access-Version?

„The Early Access version of Kneel! already includes the first playable district — a fully simulated urban area populated with dozens of autonomous citizens.
NPCs have unique weaknesses and needs that influence their behavior, and players can observe, manipulate, and reshape their routines through faith, fear, or persuasion.

The build also features working systems for saving, localization, crafting symbolic items, and basic progression of influence.
Core AI navigation, physics, and world interaction are in place.

Further updates will expand the simulation with new mechanics, districts, and storylines, while keeping existing saves compatible whenever possible.“
