Varför Early Access?

“This is the kind of game where the feel of exploration—its pacing, tempo, and difficulty curve—has a huge impact on how fun it is.

Right now, there’s a solid playable foundation. From here, I’m searching for the best balance:
do I make it more complex to go deeper, or keep it simpler to make it smoother and more satisfying?
Rather than relying only on the developer’s judgment, I want to tune it with real player feedback.

The goal of Early Access is to shape the game’s “core fun” together with the community.”

Ungefär hur länge kommer det här spelet att vara i Early Access?

“We’re aiming for roughly 6–12 months.
That said, we’ll prioritize locking in the game’s direction (more complex vs. more streamlined) and reaching a stable, satisfying feel—so the timeline may shift depending on progress.”

Hur är det tänkt att den fullständiga versionen ska skilja sig från versionen i Early Access?

“Early Access lets you experience the game’s core gameplay loop. For the full release, we plan to expand and finalize the following:
Exploration density & meaningful choices (strengthening the structure so exploration doesn’t become repetitive)
More content such as items, enemies, and terrain (biomes)
Balance tuning (difficulty curve, and the risk–reward tradeoff)
UI & presentation improvements (clearer information and better pacing)
More long-term replayability (greater depth, challenge, and goals to pursue)”

Hur är det nuvarande läget i versionen med Early Access?

“Turn-based dungeon exploration built with Noto Emoji—move, explore, and make decisions, one turn at a time.
Enemies, items, and UI are in place, and the game is fully playable.
That said, the density of exploration (how “rich” the fun feels) and the overall game feel are still being tuned, and we’re currently reworking how the whole system fits together—deciding whether to lean toward deeper complexity or a simpler, faster tempo.
Because of that, Early Access will be about more than just adding content: we’ll also keep refining the game’s core structure.”

Kommer spelet att prissättas annorlunda under och efter Early Access?

“We don’t plan to change the base price. Instead, we’ll adjust the discount rate as a “supporter price.””

Hur planerar ni att involvera gemenskapen i er utvecklingsprocess?

“You can get involved in the following ways:
Share feedback and requests on the Steam Community (Discussion Boards)
Report bugs (steps to reproduce, screenshots, logs, etc.)
Give balance-related opinions (difficulty, pacing, unfairness vs. lack of challenge)
Vote and discuss direction (more complex vs. more streamlined—what’s more fun?)
If needed, we’ll also gather input via Discord and other channels (we’ll provide a clear path)
We’ll organize all feedback by priority—based on reproducibility, impact, and development cost—and reflect it in our update plans.”
