Why Early Access?
“We love considering and implementing ideas from players, and we will use Early Access to both expand and improve the game. Early Access provides a great way of involving players in the development process, and we are looking forward to working with the community to make a better game together.”
Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?
“We plan to remain in Early Access for a year, but that could change depending on how the design develops with player feedback.”
How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?
“We plan for the full version of Heroes of Might and Magic: Olden Era to have additional content influenced by community feedback during the Early Access period. We plan to add additional scenarios and map templates alongside improvements to the map editor and an additional Underground map layer. Players will also be able to experience the full story of Olden Era across all acts of the narrative campaign.”
What is the current state of the Early Access version?
“The Early Access version is fully playable, featuring 6 unique factions and three different game modes available to play in both single and multiplayer. Players can also engage with the opening act of the narrative campaign, design their own maps using the map editor, and explore scenarios featuring self-contained stories.”
Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?
“We might increase the price during the Early Access period as additional content and features are added.”
How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?
“We love involving the community in development and are active on our Discord and the Steam forums. We want to hear all suggestions, bug reports, and player feedback in order to make a better game together.”
