What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

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

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

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

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

“Endciv is a complex project and a game of such scope requires a lot of testing and adjustments and having a supportive community provides many benefits for our small team. Unfortunately it occurred that the first attempt was not leading into the right direction, this has been elaborated a few times.Meanwhile we agree that on its current state it should not be a Steam Early access title, but this situation cannot be changed without taking the game down forever. Therefore, we are working on a solid version and until then we do not ask anyone to buy the game who is not directly interested in the development progress and mainly wants to play a game.”“It will take at least until Spring 2019 for the game to be in a good state for a wider audience. Furthermore, the game will be in development for at least one year and this is guaranteed. We do want to develop the game further for about 2 years but that will depend on the situation by then.”“As the current state only contains the minimum features the differences will be vast. A better idea of what the scope of the game is can be seen in our Roadmap .”“The game is in a very early state with limited content and is mainly a showcase for owners of the game to see where development is heading. You can see how the core features play out, how the UI functions and how basic building and town management works. Everything that would make the game fun to play over a couple of hours is still missing. In Spring 2019 this should change.”“The price will be adjusted if the content of the game justifies it. The current price will stay at least until Fall 2019.”“We’d like to get your feedback and ideas! The best way to communicate with us is to use our Discord Channel .
