Why Early Access?

“To get detailed reports for game breaking bugs or soft-locking in the game while also funding personal financial investment made into the game for commercially licensed assets, sprites, and RPG Maker plugins.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Between 6 and 8 months for full release.”

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

“I plan to finish the main storyline and get the game to a complete state.
The current main storyline is 40% completed, with the direction and ideas in place, only development time needed for a solo developer to complete.
The Early access version has the "west" half of Emerald Island completed as a first half of the game, and I plan on completing the "east" half and remainder of the world.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“At least 40% of the entire game is completed and playable. All 6 party members can be obtained in the game now. There are over 4 hours of unique playable content with completed dungeons that give the player the majority of the game experience and vibe.
The story currently goes up to the point where the main problem is fully identified and the party is directed towards the second half of the game with all party members obtainable and usable ingame.”

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

“We plan on keeping the price of the game the same throughout both Early Access and Full Release. ”

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

“Community feedback on bugs, exploits, soft locking spots on the maps or with NPCs.
Also improvements to performance in areas that lag due to RPG maker engine limitations. I have a dedicated discord server for the development of the game and a recorded Developer log that has kept track of development since starting on the discord. ”
