Why Early Access?

“I'm excited to finally present my open-world tactical RPG after several years in development. Early Access gives me the unique chance to not only share my creation but also to shape it into a game that reflects what you, the community, truly want. Your feedback is crucial for refining gameplay, adding the features you desire most, and resolving any problems that arise. Together, we can craft the ultimate gaming experience.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“With the scale of the game and major plans for upcoming updates, along with your feedback regarding what you want to see in the game, I'm estimating to reach full release within the next 6 months to 1 year.”

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

“I have numerous content updates in the pipeline for the Early Access phase, derived directly from your suggestions and feedback. For the full version, my plans include introducing a vast array of new equipment, crafting options, and buildings along with their upgrades. I will also be expanding the game with additional skills and passive abilities, new modes of battle, and I aim to fully flesh out the storyline, offering multiple endings for a rich and varied experience.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“My ambition with the Early Access launch was to deliver a game that is both stable and enjoyable across all gameplay aspects.
From day one, players have access to a comprehensive suite of features, including:

• Two game modes: One focuses on exploration, fortress management, and research, while the second focuses solely on battles and party management.
  
• Turn-based tactical battles in a destructible environment
  
• A living world that has its own life. Wars between factions and the possibility of factions being destroyed. The player may help a faction to repel attacks from invading hostile factions or let them fall.
  
• Player actions can completely change the world
  
• Fortress management, including building structures and managing resources
  
• Four distinct classes and eight subclasses, each offering a unique playstyle
  Interaction with six NPC factions, including the ability to improve or worsen relationships
  
• Options for multiclassing characters
  
• An expansive map ripe for exploration
  
• An introductory research tree and crafting system
  
• Approximately 10 hours of gameplay, but as the game features a sandbox environment, there are additional activities post-missions, including building relationships, trading, etc.
  
• Random events occurring on the global map

And much more...”

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

“Yes, I plan to gradually increase the price as I release new content and features during the Early Access period, as well as upon the game's full release. I believe that the game's price should accurately reflect its scope and quality at any given stage.”

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

“Engaging with the community is a cornerstone of our development strategy, which is a key reason for my decision to launch in Early Access. I am committed to actively participating in discussions on platforms such as Discord and the Steam forums to engage with players about the game. Your feedback will be a crucial part of the development process from start to finish.

Furthermore, I've built the game with the potential for user modifications in mind, though a final decision on this aspect is still pending. We value the creativity and innovation that come from player mods and are considering the best way to implement this feature.”
