Why Early Access?

“We chose Early Access to shape the game's final form alongside our community. Currently, the game is planned to have three major diverging storylines, with one fully available in the Early Access version. We believe player feedback is invaluable. By launching in Early Access, we aim to gather direct input on core gameplay, narrative direction, character development, and balance. This ensures that as we develop the remaining two storylines, our direction is clear and aligned with player expectations, helping us polish the game to its full potential.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We expect the Early Access phase to last approximately 12 to 18 months. This timeline is based on the workload required to complete the remaining two core storylines and the time needed for content polishing and quality assurance based on player feedback.”

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

“We plan for the full version to offer a significantly expanded experience compared to the current version:

Three Complete Storylines: In addition to the current 'Luocha Island' arc, we plan to include two additional major diverging storylines, offering completely different narrative paths, character fates, and level challenges. We aim for the total content volume to be more than three times that of the current version.

Deepened Gameplay: Based on feedback during Early Access, we plan to deeply optimize and balance all core systems, including Combat, Alchemy (LianDan), Artifact Crafting (LianQi), and the in-game economy.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The current version is fully playable and includes:

Story Content: The complete 'Luocha Island' storyline is available. Players can experience the full narrative arc from start to finish and reach multiple endings within this specific route.

Core Systems: The combat loop is complete with finalized enemy and BOSS designs. The Alchemy and Crafting systems are fully functional and interactive. The progression system (including unique artifacts) is implemented to support the full playthrough.

Technical State: The core framework is stable. We have conducted internal testing to fix critical progression issues, ensuring a smooth experience for early adopters.”

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

“Yes, we plan to increase the price upon the official full release.”

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

“We plan to engage with our community through multiple channels:

Steam Community Hub: We will set up dedicated threads for feature suggestions and bug reports. We plan to post weekly Dev Logs to share progress and design thoughts. Our team will actively monitor and reply to feedback.

Community Groups: We will maintain active social groups (such as Discord or local equivalent groups) for deep discussions on gameplay and lore. We intend to have direct 1-on-1 communication with dedicated players providing high-quality feedback.

Surveys: We will use systematic surveys to collect data on bugs and player satisfaction. This helps us quantify community trends to support our decisions on balancing and development priorities.”
