Why Early Access?

“We have been working on Shields of Loyalty for a while. The core elements are now available and offer a full-fledged gaming experience. However, our goal is to develop the title into a unique experience among the Turn Based Strategy Games. We also have a whole range of great features and content that we want to implement to improve fun and replayability.

However, working with our community is much more important to us. Steam Early Access gives us the opportunity to integrate you into our world. With your feedback and input, we can create a final and worthy gaming experience together.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Even if we still work on details, sharpen some swords and axes, forge various armor and tailor robes, the core elements of the game have already been implemented. We have a stable version and will now gradually expand it with our visions and your feedback.

Update 01.NOV.22: during the development we've recognized further potentials, which we really would like to take over into a version 1.0. Some of theses ideas came from our great community and we want to thank you for all your feedback!
The EA phase will be postponed to the end of 2023! But we will be able to implement the complete planned scope and offer you a unique strategy experience!”

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

“We want to implement new functions and more content, such as new islands, factions, buildings and skills, to map the island world in its originally planned scope. The story in campaign mode should be told with all its facets and accompanied visually appropriately.

A very important feature that will be included in the full version is the multiplayer mode. We want to offer different modes for this.

In addition, we want to get the game started for both newbies and veterans alike.

The game should support more languages and include different localizations.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“A stable and performant version is very important for us. In advance we've tested and played Shields of Loyalty million times and optimized our QA process. The result is a smooth and flawless gaming experience

The player has the faction of the noble knight and one of the island worlds (called Darkwood) available. More playable islands and a second fraction will follow successively. A user-friendly map editor will also be available at a later date.

We will announce further content as early as possible.”

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

“Due to the planned final scope of the game, we assume that the price will probably have to be raised slightly after early access. We will inform you about this later.”

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

“As already mentioned, the input and feedback from our community are very important to us! This is the only way we can create a special gaming experience for all fans of the genre. We want to evaluate and answer all inquiries, ideas and suggestions. Even if we certainly cannot take all wishes into account, we do our best to integrate them into the planned scope. You can reach us via the game as well as on social media. We are looking forward to your ideas.

Thank you for being part of Early Access!”
