早期アクセスにした理由

“The game development process has been under way since 2015. For all this time, a lot of content and functionality has been added to the game. As we are an indie team, we cannot decide on a full-fledged release without positive feedback and extensive testing of all the functionalities. In addition, we want to test the game balance and to add more content.

Also, we want to get feedback about our game. The whole development work has been done at our own expense and without any investors. Therefore, due to temporary financial difficulties, we look forward to receiving some financial support, at least at the early access stage.
At its earliest stage, game development was not a matter of commerce, but rather a matter of creativity. We didn’t really like it that many modern collectible card games (CCG) lacked balance altogether. They lacked balance in game mechanics (the dominance of the random element). And there was also no balance in terms of unbalanced maps being present, from which the meta was built. As a result, the only thing we could do was develop a game, interesting to play, which combined similar mechanics and skill-based competition with no sheer luck assisting you on your way to victory. We really are in need of community support, since our team is not very large.”

Achievements, boosters, flags, shirts, rating, gold and players’ diamonds will be transferred from the early access version of the game to the full one.
We are planning to carry on with our development work after the official release. We are going to add new cards and, after a certain time, we are planning for a campaign with a captivating plot.”

早期アクセスバージョンの現状はどうなっていますか？

“Currently, the game is absolutely playable. A chat and over 100 balanced cards have been added. Now we also have a multiplayer, a quick match with rating-based rival selection, a card-, flag- and shirt-purchasing system and a rerun-watching functionality. There are unit voiceovers and animation effects.
We believe that almost all the necessary functionalitis are ready now, but there are still a number of minor shortcomings.”
