What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“We wanted to create a genre of game that never existed before. At the moment, we think we're on the right path, as we continue to explore new combinations of genres. However, we are, by no means, close to our goal. We hope that at the end of this long journey, our ideas and feedback will materialize into something that everyone can enjoy, thanks to the feedback, ideas and th powers of all our game players.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Say that developing a game is like building a house. We will finish the exterior until the end of this year. In 2021, we will be sorting out the interior design of the house, fix any holes or problems before ending the beta testing procedure. That will be around the end of 2021.”

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

“One key difference will be that there will be many more quests available. These quests will also affect the way individual player's storyline unfolds. We will also be adding new cards, equipment, consumables and trap items, as well as personal growth and monster conquering skills. On top of that, you will have many more types of soldiers, monsters, towers, epic monsters and boss monsters and various random encounters, coupled with a monster evolving system, achievements, replayability elements and playable characters. And finally, we'll also be adding contents to the break stage - the ones you'll encounter once you successfully complete a stage."”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“At the moment, we are nearly there with the very basics, or the very essentials.
You'll experience a new storyline, battle, stages, strategies and farming, as well as elements that require thought and physical game time. We believe that this game will provide more value for money.”

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

“After beta testing, there will be new systems and contents, as well as many more monsters and npcs. This means more problems for the developer, as AI programming, bugs and balance problems will be hard to solve. Hence, we need a lot of support from our players. Your reports, feedback and user votes are invaluable to us. Therefore, we've decided to release our beta testing version cheaper than we normally would. After the game is completed, we'll take into account the various differences in the scale of the game, and have come to a conclusion that the game may cost twice as much at most. However, by then, the everyone will understand why the game was priced that way.”

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

“At the moment, we're using the view discussions function to keep an eye on user feedback and opinions.”
