Why Early Access?

“Citywars Tower Defense is a very special project. All the tools to develop it are directly implemented inside the game. By releasing an Early access version this means our staff can work directly with the community live from inside the game to improve the project. The sooner we have a version available to the public the sooner we can get the community to help with the project. Having live feedback about your project and how you can improve it is very valuable to us.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We estimate the game will stay approximately 9 months in early access. We can't give a precise date since it will depend on the community and on the amount of features we require for the final version.”

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

“The main core gameplay of the game is already fully functional in the Early access version. We will add some new core mechanics at the release like modes where you PVP your friend and unlimited wave mode for the most hardcore gamer but the main difference between the Early access version and the Final version will be the editing tool. Since the game is in reality at its core a multiplayer sandbox editor. Any content in the game can be edited at runtime and any content you experiment with is created with this special editor. Our goal is to grant access to the community to these tools so they can design their own gamemode and own content for the game.

At the moment this editor is fully functional, our only issue is these tools are extremely powerful and cannot be used in a safe environment for the user, so only our staff with a special training can use them. Our goal in the future is to make these tools easier and safe to use by anyone. This way anyone can help us to create new content for the game.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Most core features of the game have already been implemented in the early access version. The game can be played single-player online, multiplayer, co-op or split screen, the game is massively multiplayer already. Tower systems, Combat, level up, skill trees and build mode are all 100% functional. What we are adding each week is new content and new tools to edit the game.”

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

“The current plan is to keep the game free to play.”

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

“YES... Yes... and yes xD it's the whole point why we are releasing an early access version. This way we can easily give access to the community to the game so they can take part in the development.

In fact you can contact us directly in-game or by Discord to request access to our in-game editor. We will do a quick training with you to evaluate you if you are mature enough to use them xD and then will provide you with all our special video training so you can create your very own content in the game.

We are a very small team developing this game. If you see someone named Darkirby3 or Linkupdated, we are the main developer of the project, but you can also contact anyone with a tag [Staff] next to their name in-game. They are there to help you with anything.
