1.Why do we need to adopt the model of "Early Access"?
First of all, this is an independent game made with heart. Our team is a group of players who love anime and rogue games. In order to make an ideal game, we put our bold and fun ideas into action and made this game with all our hearts. We have decided to adopt Early Access in order to listen to your ideas and suggestions earlier, and hope that you can participate in the creation of the game.
2.How long will the game's pre-release status last?
We hope that this game, through continuous improvement and refinement, will be satisfied and recognized by you. So the creation needs some time to polish it, probably expected to be about half a year. For this reason, we are working hard on the creation and look forward to presenting this piece of product to you in the most perfect form.
3.How much difference is there between the planned full version and the pre-release version?
