Why Early Access?

“The game has progressed to the point where community feedback would be very valuable. We have a few fundamental aspects of the game which need discussion, mainly around our "Dark Souls" mechanic and auto-mapping. We are also very keen to hear the experiences of our early adopters to make sure our game is as good as we can make it. Your input could make all the difference!”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“At this point we are thinking approximately six months until full release.”

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

“No fundamental changes will occur during this process other than adding a lot more content. We have the game fully mapped out, we just need to finish the world building. More time and some funds coming in (being honest) is what is needed at this point.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“We have a fully playable game with all mechanics working as required. We are spending most of our time now on the world building and pacing of the story. Both these aspects require lots of art assets creating so they are time consuming.

A quick summary of the segments of the game that are playable -

• Team creation - pick your party to take on the dungeon (1 to 4 members allowed).
  
• Full 2d intro setting the scene for the start of the game.
  
• First 6 large levels are fully playable with multiple encounters and items to discover.
  
• Real time combat and spell casting with clever AI.
  
• Character stats and leveling up.
  
• Crafting potions and medicines.
  
• Traps and puzzles to conquer.

As further changes and improvements are made they will be released during the early access stage so they can be reviewed by you guys.”

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

“No, we fully intend to keep the price the same before and after full release.”

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

“We have a couple of mechanics which we would like people to review and discuss with the community (hopefully). Obviously all feedback on the current build of the game is also very valuable to us. If you want to help steer our product please get involved now, your ideas are very welcome! We will be setting up a forum on our website () in the near future for the community to get involved. Stay tuned!”
