What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“"Realm of Ink" is a sizable project with rich gameplay and content. While we aim for a flawless official launch, as a newly established independent game studio, we acknowledge that our experience and resources are still growing. We recognize that only by relying on genuine feedback and suggestions from players can we continuously refine our product and deliver the best gaming experience possible.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We plan to release the official 1.0 version later this year, maintaining frequent game optimizations and content updates until then. To provide transparency regarding our future development plans, we'll also publish a detailed roadmap alongside the Early Access launch.”

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

“The 1.0 official release will feature extensive content expansion based on the Early Access version, along with optimizations based on player feedback. Additional content in the full version will include:
  • Introducing 2 new playable characters and 6 new weapons
  • Adding more Ink Gem skills and Perks, expanding the variety of gameplay styles
  • Introducing more Ink Pet gameplay mechanics
  • Introducing additional bosses and boss mechanics
  • Introducing more unique environments and interactive structures
  • Increasing the challenge difficulty and combat mechanics
  • Introducing more special gameplay mechanics and encounters with unique NPCs
  • Expanding the Martial Arts system, introducing more diverse combat actions
  • Enhancing the storytelling and revealing the final stage of the first storyline

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“We aim for the Early Access version to be a sincere offering, presenting all completed content thus far. This version will include:
  • Complete 4-act levels and 8 bosses
  • The first playable character, Red the Swordswoman, with 3 weapons
  • Full gameplay for 20 Ink Gem skills across 4 tiers
  • Full gameplay for 15 Ink Pets across 4 tiers and over 40 forms
  • Over 150 Perks to provide diverse building possibilities
  • The first layer of world-building and approximately 30% of the storyline
  • Endless mode gameplay for challenge seekers

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

“As mentioned earlier, we offer a substantial amount of content for the Early Access version. Nevertheless, we aim to provide a highly competitive price during the Early Access phase to lower the entry barrier for players. Upon the official release of version 1.0, we will adjust the pricing accordingly. If you purchase the game during the Early Access phase, there will be no additional charge when version 1.0 is released.”

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

“We will actively engage with players through the Discord community (discord.gg/X63T277eVn), listening attentively to feedback, whether it's bug reports or suggestions. We will respond promptly and give careful consideration to all community input.”

“Beautiful action inbound.”
IGN

“With the launch of its free demo, I jumped in to get a feel for how it played – really the key factor for me in any good roguelike – and was impressed by what I saw.”
PCGamesN

“The game's swish inky art direction is its obvious silver bullet, or perhaps, silver rope javelin.”
