Why Early Access?

“Queen of Clubs is a big, branching game made by a very small team. Early Access lets me release it in solid, playable chunks and shape the rest with the players. Player feedback will directly change several mechanics, as it did with my previous game.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“I plan to have the game ready in a couple of years but, as with my previous project, I’ll only stop when I’m fully satisfied with what I’m delivering to the players.”

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

“The full version will have every chapter of the story, NG+ mechanics for much higher replayability, all the remaining Princesses and Dragons (with their scenes, bosses and tavern events), more minigames, and more TCG content. It will also be balanced and polished across the whole game, including performance options for weaker PCs.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“It’s fully playable from the tutorial through Chapter 3. That covers the main mechanics of the game, many of the Princesses with their scenes, the first 3 Dragon boss fights, fistfights and other minigames. You can also start collecting the trading cards in the game. Also, there’s a video gallery, Steam achievements, and full English and Chinese support. It’s stable, and I patch reported bugs quickly.
Save files are, and will stay, compatible with every update released during Early Access.”

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

“The price will stay the same, and everyone who buys during Early Access gets every update and the full release at no extra cost.”

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

“Through the Steam discussions and reviews, which I read and answer personally, plus bug reports that get fixed as soon as possible, usually in the next patch. Every update comes with a Steam post and changelog, and I share devlogs and previews on social media.”
