Why Early Access?

“The engine is in place: full seasons, standings, playoffs, pick & ban, scouting, economy, and a match simulation where every player makes their own decisions.

What I still have to build is far harder to validate on my own, because the living meta, the team chemistry, the events and the game plans are all systems that have to be fun before they can be correct, and no test is going to tell me whether they are.

So I'm opening the game up now to decide where it goes with the people actually playing it, to learn what lands and what doesn't before committing twelve months of work to a hunch.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Around twelve months.

The estimate comes from the project's actual development pace so far, with room for the support work Early Access creates. If community feedback shifts the priorities, and that's the point, the timeline may move. It will be announced rather than quietly missed.”

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

“1.0 deepens everything Early Access puts in place. The planned axes:

Game plans: the strategy you write before a match will actually shape what your players do on the map.
Living meta: patch cycles shift champion viability, and your roster has to re-adapt.
Team chemistry: confidence between players, archetypes, tension around pick decisions.
Events and narrative: decisions outside the match, injuries, transfer offers, interviews.
Club building: facilities, academy, sponsors, manager profile and career record.
International competition: a competitive calendar reaching beyond the domestic league.

This list is the game's direction. It will be debated with the community during Early Access, and that's exactly what the game is going there for.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The game is playable end to end, across multiple seasons.

What's in: club creation and management, scouting and economy, training, schedule and standings, playoffs, season-to-season continuity. A playable pick & ban. And a live match simulation where your five players make their own decisions. You issue directives from the bench, but they are limited, and your players can ignore them.

What isn't in yet: game plans can be written, but do not yet influence how a match unfolds. Everything listed in the previous section is still to be built.

Important, saves: during Early Access, updates may make existing saves incompatible. A career you start is not guaranteed to survive a patch. This will be flagged in every update note where it applies.

Languages: English and French.”

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

“Yes. The price will go up when the game leaves Early Access. Buying now means paying the lowest price the game will have.”

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

“Through feedback, and through a readable rhythm.

Steam discussions and the game's Discord are the two feedback channels, and they feed development priorities directly. Every major update ships with detailed patch notes, published on both Steam and Discord.

Target cadence: a major update every four to six weeks, with fixes in between. The point of this Early Access is to decide the game's direction together. What lands gets built on, what drags gets reworked or cut.”
