Varför Early Access?

“We still have plenty of work, as we plan to add much more conflicts, events and bifurcation points as well as additional mechanics, but the core gameplay is ready, so this project can be playable and enjoyable at the current stage. Taking the game specifics into account, it is very important to polish the balance, so that's where the players' feedback could come in handy. Of course, we are ready to hear feedback and suggestions not only about the balance issues, but about any other game aspects as well.”

Ungefär hur länge kommer det här spelet att vara i Early Access?

“We estimate that the Early Access period will last about 5-6 months.”

Hur är det tänkt att den fullständiga versionen ska skilja sig från versionen i Early Access?

“We have the following plans for the full version (although we won't stop with that and continue to develop the game further):

- A deep storyline in the form of a branching sequence of missions with several endings: for example, you will be able to roleplay a cynical businessman and pragmatist, a staunch supporter of one of the two ideological blocs, or an insane sociopath obsessed with the idea of ​​plunging the whole world into chaos.
- Addition of mercenaries. Mercenaries are "acquired" in the same way as weapons. They can either be sent to conflict zones, or you can hire them into the crews of your ships and aircraft to provide additional protection.
- More random events. The likelihood that something unexpected will happen with your transport or cargo, or even with your character, will be depending directly on the security factor and other parameters.
- Heroes. The game about the arms dealer's business can't be too abstract: it is rather important to show personalities, to display the protagonist and his team properly. Therefore, periodically in areas of conflicts you will be encountering local heroes available for hire - mercenaries, warlords, dissidents, criminals. Each of the characters will have characteristics that make him or her a valuable specialist in certain field. The hero can be sent to the conflict zone (in order to increase the chances of one of the parties to win), send weapons to the exporting country (so that he improves relations with the military or dulled the intelligence of the special services) or appoint to the ship (in order to further reduce the likelihood that you will be robbed by pirates or catch a customs inspector).
- A new sub-type of events - coups. Technically, they are very similar to conflicts, but require fast, decisive action: they are active for about a week, and during this time it is necessary to deliver weapons to one of the parties. Coups are necessary in order to make the game world even more alternative-historical.
- Additional map detail: more countries and regions.
- New conflicts, including alternative historical chains. What could happen if you help side B and not side A, which has won in real history? Would the winner pay attention to the disputed territories of its neighbour C? And how would its neighbour D react to this? And what could do the distant superpower E in that case? We have studied thoroughly many historical territorial claims and unfulfilled ambitions of leaders that were overthrown or didn't had a chance to come to power at all - and on this basis we are working on new branches of conflicts and events that didn't occur in our reality, but would have had high chances if the history had developed a little otherwise.
- Improved algorithms of the rivals' behaviour.
- More new types of weapons, including aviation and ballistic missiles.”

Hur är det nuvarande läget i versionen med Early Access?

“Currently the game has:
- Arms trade mechanics (you can freely purchase, deliver and sell large number of different weapons, dealing with various states and non-state actors);
- About 50 various conflicts;
- Dynamic event system that allows the game map to change according to real history as well as to players' actions.”

Kommer spelet att prissättas annorlunda under och efter Early Access?

“The price will be subject to change with high probability.”

Hur planerar ni att involvera gemenskapen i er utvecklingsprocess?

“We will listen to the players' comments and suggestions regarding balance, mechanics and content. We intend to openly discuss all these topics and take the community opinion into account during the further work on the project.”
