Why Early Access?

“I chose to release ASHOR in Early Access to involve players directly in the development process.
Player feedback is extremely valuable for improving gameplay balance, performance, and overall quality.
Early Access allows me to test core systems, develop the game step by step, and shape ASHOR together with the community.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“ASHOR is expected to remain in Early Access for a limited period.
This timeframe may change depending on development progress and player feedback.
My main goal is to release the best possible and most polished full version.”

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

“The full version is planned to offer significantly more content and features compared to the Early Access version.

Planned additions may include new enemy types and additional arena floors, as well as possible expansions to the combat system such as new spells and different arrow types.

In addition, development aims to expand weapon and armor variety, with a focus on improving combat animations and overall hit feedback.

Future updates may explore additional dungeon content and competitive features such as leaderboard support.

Multiplayer functionality is being explored, with potential expansions and improvements depending on development progress and player feedback.

Enemy artificial intelligence is planned to be iterated on, with the goal of creating more dynamic and challenging combat encounters.

Overall, the full version aims to deliver a more comprehensive, better-balanced, and visually more polished experience compared to the Early Access version.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The Early Access version of ASHOR is fully playable and includes the core arena-based gameplay systems.

In its current state, players can fight in the arena, face existing enemy types, and experience the core combat mechanics of the game.

However, some content and features have not yet been implemented. Elements such as additional arena floors, new enemies, dungeon content, advanced AI systems, enhanced combat animations, the Steam global leaderboard, and the multiplayer mode are still in development.

While the game is generally stable, players may encounter balance issues, missing content, or minor bugs during the Early Access period.

These aspects are intended to be improved over time, with updates influenced by development progress and player feedback during Early Access.”

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

“Yes. The price of the game is expected to increase when it transitions from Early Access to the full release.

Any potential price change is intended to reflect additional development and improvements over time.

Players who purchase the game during the Early Access period are intended to receive ongoing updates during development at no additional cost.”

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

“Player feedback plays an important role in the development of ASHOR.
Suggestions, comments, and feedback from the community can help guide balance changes and future content decisions.
Development updates and improvements may continue to be shaped based on community input.”
