Why Early Access?

“Gambit Heart is a project that will take time to realize it's full potential. From a hefty list of features to implement to creating an expansive world to explore, this game is our passion project. We want to build an engaging experience that will feel fresh and fulfilling and we think the best way to do that is with the community helping to shape it's outcome as early as possible.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We don't have a definite date planned but we have a road-map of what is required before leaving Early Access. There are still core features of the game that have yet to be implemented and that is our current goal. After that is complete we will then focus development on the world to make it new and fun no matter how many times you explore. We plan to organically gauge when we feel that has been accomplished.

Our best estimate is it will take around two years in Early Access.”

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

“Gambit Heart is at its core an Open-World Exploration Tactical-RPG, so it will be well-rounded in that regard with many classes to unlock, quests, towns and dungeons to find. We also plan a full-fledged crafting system which will cover weapons, armor, harvesting and preparing food and even building your own home. We also plan to have a robust class, skill, and loot system with lots of customization options for your style of play. Encounters will be affected by environment type, a day-night cycle and seasons, and NPC's will have personalities that will affect your interactions with them, and more interactions with the world including puzzles and hidden objects.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Gambit Heart is still very early in development, Pre-Alpha stage. The game systems are in place but need to be refined, art replaced, and lots of content added. It is a framework that is not complete. There isn't much to do currently because we are working on the base features.”

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

“Yes. We feel that the players currently interested in Gambit Heart should have a low price due to how early in development this game is. We appreciate your support at this stage! As the game becomes fleshed out and content added, so will the price increase.”

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

“We would love to hear your opinion on the game, added features, what classes you like or don't, bugs you might find, and so on. After the core of the game is finished we plan to open a dedicated forum for ideas and discussions. Until then please feel free to email us feedback[at]grizzlywolfgames[dot]com or post your questions or comments in the Steam Discussions. There are only two of us working on this game so please be patient if we happen to be very busy and can't respond right away. Thank you for your interest and we look forward to hearing from the community!”
