Why Early Access?

“Early Access will allow us to gather player feedback while continuing to develop Mapborn.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We expect Mapborn to remain in Early Access for approximately 12–18 months. This timeframe may change depending on development progress and player feedback.”

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

“Currently, the Early Access version includes core game systems and playable content. During the Early Access period, we plan to further expand the game content, including adding systems such as city specialization, legion experience and levels, and legion stances, while continuously improving the user interface and AI performance. Compared to the current Early Access version, the full version plans to complete and refine the above systems, further polish various mechanisms, and provide a more complete and stable grand strategy game experience. Specific content may be adjusted based on development progress and player feedback.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The Early Access version includes the core playable grand strategy sandbox experience. Players can create playable worlds from custom maps, create and customize civilizations, and interact with the game's core strategic systems including expansion, technology, laws, armies, and warfare. Some systems are still being refined, and players may encounter bugs, balance issues, or incomplete features during Early Access.”

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

“We plan to gradually raise the price as we ship new content and features.”

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

“We plan to use Steam Discussions as our primary channel for community feedback. Players can share suggestions, report bugs, and discuss the game there. We will review feedback throughout Early Access and use it to help improve Mapborn.”
