Why Early Access?

“Balancing a deckbuilder with deep, complex mechanics is difficult to do without broader iteration. I want to create an experience that feels good to play no matter what happens in your run, and for that it's necessary to collaborate with the community's feedback and experiences.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“It will be in Early Access until I feel that the mission of universal pleasant runs is achieved. I don't expect this to take more than a year or so.”

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

“I plan to prioritize balance - not just of power level but also of fun. Fun cards will stay and improve, boring cards will be reworked, and power levels will be modified. I plan on adding plenty of brand-new content throughout Early Access as well, like enemies, keepsakes, cards, events, etc.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“All of the features in the "About this game" section are implemented. There are three Acts with all of their fights, besides some alternate bosses which need to be added. Cards and Keepsakes are finished (besides balancing), though more will likely be added throughout Early Access. Full art assets exist for most Keepsakes and all fights in Acts 1 and 2. Meta progression, like unlocking cards and tracking winrates, is fully implemented.”

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

“The price may marginally increase with a final version.”

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

“I plan on prioritizing player feedback and collecting data about pickrates, winrates, etc. to empower game design choices that make all in-game decisions feel conditionally correct.”
