Why Early Access?

“We are launching Wicked Arcana in Early Access to engage with our community and gather valuable player feedback. By involving players early in the development process, we can ensure that the game evolves in a way that meets and exceeds player expectations. Early Access allows us to test gameplay mechanics, identify bugs, and refine features based on real-world usage, ultimately shaping a better final product. Your feedback is crucial in helping us create a game that is both enjoyable and polished.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We anticipate that Wicked Arcana will remain in Early Access until 2026 to 2027. This timeline allows us ample opportunity to gather comprehensive player feedback, implement necessary improvements, and expand the game’s content and features to deliver a polished and complete experience.”

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

“The full version of Wicked Arcana is planned to be a significant expansion over the Early Access version. We aim to include more diverse regions to explore, each with unique environments and challenges. Additionally, we are working on introducing new gameplay mechanics that will enhance the player experience and add depth to the game. We plan to expand the story, with more characters, quests, and lore to discover. Our goal is to create a rich, immersive world that offers countless hours of gameplay and narrative content.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The current state of Wicked Arcana in Early Access is a limited slice of the beginning of the game. This version is designed to give players a taste of the core gameplay mechanics, introductory story elements, and initial region. While it represents a solid foundation, it is only a small portion of what we have planned for the full game. Players can expect to experience the essential features such as story and narrative interactions, combat, and interacting with the environment to get a feel for the game's direction.”

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

“Yes, the pricing of Wicked Arcana will change once we move out of Early Access. During Early Access, players can experience a short slice of the game for free. This is our way of thanking early supporters and recognizing their role in the development process. Upon the full release, the price is expected to increase to reflect the added content, features, and overall enhancements that have been made.”

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

“We plan to actively involve the community throughout the development of Wicked Arcana by creating various channels for feedback and communication. Players will be able to share their thoughts and suggestions through our Discord server and dedicated feedback forms. We will also host regular updates, including development blogs and livestreams, to keep the community informed about our progress and upcoming features. By closely monitoring player feedback and engaging in open dialogue, we aim to address any issues and incorporate community-driven improvements, ensuring that the final game resonates well with our audience. Your insights and feedback are invaluable to us, and we are committed to creating a game that reflects the desires and expectations of our players.”
