Why Early Access?

“We want to involve players early in the development process. By releasing in Early Access, we can gather valuable feedback on gameplay mechanics, difficulty balance, and feature preferences. This helps us prioritize development efforts and ensure the final version provides the best possible experience. We plan to actively respond to community input and iterate on the game based on player suggestions.We plan for the Early Access period to last approximately 3-6 months. The exact timeline will depend on the amount of community feedback received and the scope of features we plan to add. We will keep players updated on our progress through regular development updates.”
