Why Early Access?

“Right now, many of the features we plan to add to the game are not complete, but we feel that by releasing in Early Access we can continue to work on the game while also providing players with our current content. The feedback returned by you, the player, will help us make our game a more complete whole while letting everyone enjoy our game as soon as possible. The first release into Early Access will be the first region of the game out of the nine regions we plan on creating. Each region will be fully complete with dungeons, characters, and all. We will continue to release by region. Once all regions are complete we will move ahead with the final piece of the game, story mode.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“It is currently difficult to say how long until the game is released. Most of us are college students with varying amounts of time on our hands during the semester. At the moment, we are slowly making progress toward our goals, and we plan on releasing substantial content soon. It all depends on when we complete every region as well as the main story line. We can say for certain, however, that once the first region is completed, the rest are to come faster thanks to the foundation we lay. Suffice it to say, development could take 1.5-3 more years, but hopefully not that long!”

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

“The Early Access version will only include the regions we have completed thus far as well as several dungeons associated with each region. Early access will also provide the continuously updated versions of the map/custom games editor. The full version will not only include all 9 regions and a completed map/custom games editor, but also the full story mode. The story mode is the eventual goal of this project, involving all 9 regions with unique dungeons and bosses.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The first release of Early Access is a functional map/custom games editor and the first region of the game, the nature region. This region will also come with a few dungeons. All nine characters will be playable, and the release will be complete with all necessary animations, music, and aesthetics for the region. More coming soon!”

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

“We have not come to a consensus on whether the final release, which is the story mode release, should make the game priced differently or as downloadable content. The completed base game should remain the price it is now up until story mode. Most likely the price will not change. We will update our stance on this later.”

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

“The map/custom games editor is one of the driving forces of our game. We hope that the community can build more games from the one we created, allowing this project to become more than just Project Amaranth. We also hope the community can point out bugs or glitches when they become apparent. We also have an ongoing community helping translate our game into different languages. Communicate with the developers directly through our discord, website, and social media pages.
