What does Early Access mean for Medieval Kingdom Wars?
Early Access means exactly like it sounds, an early access to the game. Early Access is for players who want to be part of the development cycle of MKW while we build the game. As the game is not finished while in Early Access, there will be bugs and missing features. You will see balance issues, possible performance stutters or even crashes. Many of the 'final release' features and mechanics will not be in game yet, but will slowly be added over time.

"Early access, early funding, alpha-access or paid-alpha is a funding model in the computer game industry by which consumers can pay for a game in the various development cycles (pre-alpha, alpha, beta) and obtain access to the pre-full-release versions of the game, while the developer is able to use those funds to continue work on the game. Those that pay to participate typically help to debug game, provide feedback and suggestions, and may have access to special materials in the game."

Why would players want to be part of Early Access if the game is unfinished?
Players who purchase the game now will receive the game at a discounted price. They will also be able to interact with the Developers and provide feedback - potentially helping us design and improve the game. We plan to talk with our players directly in-game, and read and reply to almost every forum suggestion and reports. Players will be asked to vote on features proposed by other players, and our team will do our best to add most desired ideas, and features in-game. By being part of the community, your voice will be heard and help us decide what features we work on first. If this does not sound like something you care about, but the game looks like something you will play when finished, be sure to add the game to your wish list so you can come back when it's finished!
