Kenapa Akses Awal?

“Because the game bets on a new idea, AI as the player, and Early Access is where we find out, together with the community, how far that idea goes.

The game is already complete and stable in the essentials: local 1v1, online 1v1, 11 characters, 6 arenas. What is not decided yet is what comes next, and that decision should not be ours alone. The core mechanic, where you pick the model, configure the harness and the AI plays for you, opens up far more paths than a 1v1 fight: there is room for teams, for 2v2 with two humans on each side, for larger battles with groups of fighters on each side, and for other modes using the same mechanic. We want to find out early, with real players, what keeps people hooked and what wears thin, instead of betting everything on a closed launch and finding out afterwards.

On top of that, every new model that shows up on OpenRouter changes the metagame, and the online infrastructure needs to grow along with the game, with people actually playing instead of lab testing.”

Berapa lama permainan ini dijangka akan berada dalam Akses Awal?

“We plan on three months to a year in Early Access. It may close in three months, if the community's feedback shows the game already got where it needed to get, or take up to a year, if the paths that show up are worth it. The pace depends on player feedback and on the game's platform maturing.”

Apakah perbezaan yang dirancang antara versi penuh dan versi Akses Awal?

“We plan to evolve the game on three fronts, and the order depends on what the community asks for.

Match formats: today it is 1v1. We plan team formats, such as 2v2 with two human players on each side, and larger battles, with groups of AI-controlled fighters facing each other instead of just one on one.

Competition and community: rankings, seasons, a spectator mode to watch other people's fights, and replays are among the ideas we want to weigh together with the players.

Content and mechanics: more characters, more arenas and new mechanics built on the core idea of the AI playing in your place.

We are not going to promise a closed feature list, because the whole reason we are in Early Access is to define that together with the people who play. We also plan to scale the online infrastructure as the player base grows.”

Bagaimanakah keadaan semasa versi Akses Awal?

“The game is fully playable. Today it includes: local 1v1 mode (you set up both sides and watch, or play on the keyboard), online 1v1 mode against another player on an authoritative server, with direct invites, a fight offer board, rematch proposals, tolerance to connection drops and a report system; 11 characters with their own looks, abilities and finishers; 6 arenas; scenario weapons with rarity tiers; and more than 300 AI models available through OpenRouter. The interface is in Portuguese and English.

This is a game in development: it may have bugs, the balance between characters and the behavior of the models are still going to change, and new mechanics and formats may land during Early Access based on player feedback.”

Adakah harga permainan ini berbeza semasa dan selepas Akses Awal?

“Yes. The Early Access price is a promotional launch price and the intention is to raise it when the game moves to version 1.0. Anyone who buys during Early Access pays nothing extra afterwards.”

Bagaimana anda merancang untuk melibatkan Komuniti dalam proses pembangunan anda?

“Through the Steam discussions, which are the official channel. We want to hear the community on three things: what is working and what wears thin; which formats make sense (teams, 2v2, larger battles, other modes with the same mechanic of letting the AI play); and which models and characters people want to see in the game. The in-game report system feeds moderation directly, and feedback on bugs and balance goes into the fix queue along with everything else.”
