Why Early Access?

“Zodiac Legion is a complex game, combining tactical turn-based battles with an overarching dynamic campaign and base building. We want the game to have many paths to victory -- for instance, by focusing on necromancy to keep veteran warriors fighting even after death, or on arcane empowerment to make even unexperienced recruits start with supernatural abilities -- which is why community feedback is of critical importance to us. It'll let us ensure that the player's decisions will remain interesting and that all the tactical and strategic options will continue to be fun until the end of the game.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Zodiac Legion should remain in early access for roughly one year, but it may take longer, as we will work on it until both we and you are happy with the state of the game.”

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

“We will add mid and late campaign content (higher tier research, artifacts and abilities for player characters and opponents, events, chained and "storyline" quests, end game enemies), and refine the flow of the campaign with your feedback.
We also need your feedback to refine the UI and the AI of the game, and to get it to the level of polish we will all be happy with.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The early access version of the game only contains the early stage of the campaign at the moment. We're quite happy with the general "feel" of the combat, but the strategic campaign around it is still a work in progress, for which your feedback would be invaluable.
The random level assembly process also needs tweaking to make sure that all the generated levels feel interesting and varied.
Regarding content, a good analogy would be thinking as the game currently having one "chapter" out of the three planned for the final release.”

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

“The price may rise as more content is added to the game, but it would be announced several weeks before we do it.”

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

“We will keep you informed about the progress of the development process through regular posts on the Steam community page and on the Steam discussion boards. We will try to solve bugs and issues, and discuss suggestions and feedback with you here on the Steam boards, or on our Discord channel as quickly as possible.”
