Why Early Access?

“Siege at Sundown brings hero combat, economy and fortress building into the same competitive match. We want player feedback to help refine how those choices interact: which strategies create interesting decisions, where a fight becomes difficult to read, and how each hero influences a siege. Early Access gives players a part in shaping that experience.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“From 4 too 8 months”

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

“During Early Access we want to focus on the core game loop: 1v1 matches, the day/night cycle, one main map and a small roster of hero-civilizations with their basic building sets.

Over time we plan to:

add more hero-civilizations and additional building options for them;

expand the map pool and introduce more variants of the central objective (Temple of Plenty and other key structures);

improve UI, onboarding and tutorials for new players;

add new modes and meta features such as ranked play and extra progression.

The exact scope and order of these additions may change based on feedback and our resources, but the goal is for the full version to feel more complete and polished than the Early Access version.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“At the start of Early Access we expect players to have:

a working 1v1 mode with the day/night cycle and castle sieges;

one main map

a small roster of hero-civilizations with unique roles and building sets;

basic UI, controls and controller support;

the ability to play online against other players.

Some elements are still in development: additional content, improved onboarding, a ranking system and some of the planned heroes. For a detailed list of current features, please refer to the “About This Game” section on the store page.”

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

“At this time we expect that the price may increase slightly for the full release, once the game contains more content and features. The current price reflects the Early Access state and helps us continue development. However, we reserve the right to revisit this plan later if development shows that a different approach would be better.”

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

“We plan to use Steam discussions to collect bug reports, match experiences and suggestions. Feedback on hero balance, economy, combat readability and learning the game will help guide our priorities. Development updates will explain the changes and the reasoning behind them.”
