Why Early Access?

“Our game will slowly develop over the years, and we know that our budget can suffer lots of constraints and rough periods of time. We can provide quality content over the development process and give a large discount for players willing to fund our project. Though it is not dependent on Early Access sales for us to reach our goals with our game, it surely helps reaching it faster.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“The more our game sells, the earlier we can deliver its finished version. Our earliest prospects for a full release (early 2020's crisis over the Chinese Coronavirus Flu included) indicate that by late 2024, early 2025 our game will be finished. There will be an utmost commitment of our development team to not push this date any further.”

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

“The game's Early Access will be more limited in scope, featuring more localized battles in smaller groups. We will divide the game in two phases during Early Access: Alpha and Beta. As per Alpha/Beta standarization for software, Alpha will be more focused in increasing the amount of content, mechanisms and coding inside the main game, while Beta will be focused in stabilizing, fixing and improving game code for smoother gameplay.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Our current state is in Phase 1; we have 1v1 skirmish battles ready, two playable tribes, with one tribe ready to be released soon and another a month later, for a total of four in the second month after release of Early Access. New content will constantly be added for additional playability, until we can reach a critical mass to release our de-facto game mode, World Campaign, a huge MMO strategy/RPG region domination game based on 5th century Europe.”

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

“Our game will cost a fraction of its intended price during Early Access. Once we develop our game and advance in phases of development, there is going to have price updates to reflect the quality and extension of our content. There will be very little, if any, discounts during Early Access for our game.

Players who purchase our game during Early Access receive better deals in the form of very large, exclusive discounts for in-game microtransactions of skins.”

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

“We plan on making a weekly developer briefing on how developing is faring and keep the playerbase knowing what are our priorities, what we are working on and any future additions/corrections to the game will be.

When possible, we want the community to vote and give their say on what tribes, types of units or territories they'd like introduced next, giving some control of how we expand our planned content.

Our team is available through contacting at any time outside Steam through our email (genosstudios@gmail.com), forums and website. For practical purposes, however, we will prioritize contacts and informations through the Steam application.”
