Why Early Access?

“War of the Damned is already 100% functional, but we are launching in Early Access because we need players to thoroughly test the game to refine our concepts and mechanics. The main focus is balance: we want to fine-tune abilities based on community feedback to ensure none are overpowered or lack practical utility. Furthermore, Early Access will allow us to continue expanding the game by adding new playable characters and more enemies to encounter before the full release.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We estimate that War of the Damned will remain in Early Access for approximately one to two years. This timeframe will allow us to integrate all planned content and, most importantly, fine-tune the game's balance based on actual player experience. Our priority is not to rush the full release until the combat system, character roster, and Game Master tools reach the level of polish and variety we are aiming for.”

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

“We plan for the full version of War of the Damned to feature a much broader catalog of content. We intend to add a wider variety of playable characters with unique abilities, expand the bestiary with new types of enemies, and significantly increase the amount of items and equipment available. Additionally, we aim to continue integrating advanced tools so that Game Masters have even more control and options when creating their campaigns.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“War of the Damned currently features a fully functional core mechanic and is completely playable. The automated d100 die system is 100% implemented, handling all rolls natively. Players currently have access to all 7 playable classes (Iron Judge, Inquisitor, War Architect, Fencer, Pursuer, Astrologer, and Armored Specter), a functional bestiary with 24 enemy types, and editing tools for the Master to create custom threats.”

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

“The game is and will be FREE.”

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

“The community is the driving force behind War of the Damned. We have an official Discord server where players can report bugs, discuss rule balancing, and propose new mechanics directly with us. Additionally, we've enabled a section on our official website to receive detailed suggestions. We constantly review this feedback to decide which new characters, enemies, and Game Master tools should be prioritized in upcoming updates.”
