Why Early Access?

“We are using Early Access to give the players the possibility to play the game, as well as giving them the opportunity to be a contributing factor in the game's development. We are a small independent team, and this will help us to develop the game further, through player feedback and funding.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Blinding Blade will stay in Early Access until we have developed our core features and feel confident in the game's overall state.”

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

“Early Access will allow Blinding Blade to implement our core features in Preparation for a full game release.

Our vision is to have a wholly satisfying multiplayer experience for our players and we have several goals that we would like to accomplish before Blinding Blade leaves Early Access.

1) Optimized Gameplay Experience:
-We need to ensure that players across a variety of hardware will be able to have an excellent gameplay experience
-Solving network related issues is very important to us. We would like to see that all our players have smooth gameplay experiences.

2) Rewarding Multiplayer Experience
-Meaningful progression systems are key to making players feel like their time spent in game is being rewarded. We need to fine tune our existing systems and create new, more rewarding systems

3) Optimized Combat System
-Blinding Blade is focused on very precise melee combat and to that end we need to make sure that this is as perfect as possible. We have spent the better part of the year hand tuning and play testing the multiplayer blade combat system and would like to make sure that it is perfected before release.”

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