Why Early Access?

“Overview:
We believe that player feedback is invaluable in refining the experience and ensuring that Wonderland: Red Queen Protocol reaches its full potential. Early Access allows us to gather community input on game mechanics, card balance, and overall gameplay to make the final release as polished and enjoyable as possible. By involving players early on, we aim to create a more immersive and strategic card-battling experience that resonates with the fans of both Wonderland lore and cyberpunk themes.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We anticipate Wonderland: Red Queen Protocol will be in Early Access for 6 to 12 months. During this time, we plan to introduce new cards, features, and balance updates based on player feedback.”

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

“For the full version, we plan to expand the deck-building system, introduce additional cards, and enhance the storylines. However, these plans are subject to change based on player feedback and development progress. We may add or remove features as needed during the Early Access phase to ensure the best possible final experience. Our current plans include:

Additional character cards, each with unique abilities and backstories.
Potential enhancements to visuals, including more detailed environments and card effects.
New game modes, such as tournament-style play and a campaign mode.
Improved AI for single-player experiences.
While we are working towards a polished final version with extensive balancing based on community input, we cannot guarantee that all planned features will be included in the final release. Development priorities may shift, and we will regularly update the community on our progress.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The Early Access version of Wonderland: The Red Queen Protocol is fully playable, with core mechanics in place, but several assets are placeholder versions that will be updated over time. Players can currently experience the following:

Main Story Campaign: 60% complete, offering several hours of gameplay. More story content will be added based on player feedback.
Combat System: Fully functional, designed to test the mechanics and powers. The current card designs are placeholders to test these mechanics and will be replaced with final assets in future updates.
Deck Building System: Fully usable, allowing players to create custom decks with the current card sets. These cards are placeholders, designed to reflect the final abilities and mechanics that will be introduced later.
AI Opponents: Several AI opponents with unique strategies are available for testing the combat mechanics.
Multiplayer: Basic local multiplayer functionality is available, allowing players to challenge each other on the same network. Expanded multiplayer features are planned for future updates.
Art and UI: The current art and user interface elements are placeholders. These will be gradually replaced with high-quality visuals as development continues.
We are actively gathering player feedback and regularly releasing updates to introduce new story content, replace placeholder assets, expand card rosters, and refine gameplay mechanics.”

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

“Yes, we plan to gradually raise the price as we add new features, cards, and content. Players who purchase during Early Access will receive all future updates and content at no additional cost.”

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

“We plan to actively involve the community throughout the development process by gathering feedback, suggestions, and balancing ideas from players via our forums and social media channels. Players will have the opportunity to provide input on game mechanics, card abilities, and overall gameplay balance through regular surveys and feedback forms.

Our approach to Early Access involves transparent communication, with development updates and patch notes shared regularly to keep the community informed about progress. We will also host community playtesting events to experiment with new features and gather direct feedback before implementing major updates.

We encourage players to share their experiences, report bugs, and suggest features, which will help shape the final version of Wonderland: The Red Queen Protocol. Player feedback will be a key factor in refining the game's mechanics, card designs, and multiplayer experience.”
