Чому дочасний доступ?

«Slotomancer combines roguelike deckbuilding with slot machine mechanics in a unique way, and we want to ensure the balance, difficulty curve, and progression systems feel rewarding for players. Early Access allows us to gather feedback from the community on:

• Game balance and difficulty tuning across 15 wizard encounters
• Card unlock progression and meta-game systems
• UI/UX clarity and accessibility
• Strategic depth and decision-making satisfaction

The core game is feature-complete with 115+ cards, 25 artifacts, and full progression systems, but community feedback will help us polish the experience and prioritize additional content based on what players enjoy most.»

Як довго гра буде у дочасному доступі?

«6-12 months

We plan to spend the first 3-6 months gathering feedback, balancing existing content, and polishing core systems. The remaining time will focus on adding new wizards, cards, and quality-of-life improvements based on community requests.»
