Why Early Access?

“Sketch Tales is developed by an experienced, yet very small team. Launching on Steam is a possibility to receive the players’ support, owing to which we’ll be able to expand the team and do what has been planned. Support us and we’ll make a game like you have never seen before.

A new important stage of coming out to public access begins for Sketch Tales. We do it only for you and your feedback is very important to us.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We expect 9-12 months of further development and polishing of the game before it's ready for the release. There is still a ton of features to add, polish and tweak before the game meets our vision and your expectations.”

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

“First, it's going to be a better quality and polished product. Secondly, we will add Multiplayer, possibility to modify landscape, work out the Sketch Tales story and... yet undisclosed features.
Last but not least, a Cloud server to host all players' creations that can be integrated into the game.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The story brings you to an island, inhabited by 3 types of living beings: monsters, sketchmen and animals. They live their own life, look for food, goodies & shelter, hunt & fight, and even build relationships with you. It’s basic AI Simulation which we plan to expand drastically in future updates. On the gameplay side, Sketch Tales in Early Access offers all necessary basics for both adventurers and creative minds:

• Draw your character, objects, weapons, spells, items, construction parts and creatures (to enable this, the game features built-in doodling editor and guides)
  
• Build structures and fortifications
  
• Fight enemies, survive deadly traps and anomalies
  
• Explore the world and get quests

”

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

“The full release version will be priced higher than the Early Access one.”

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

“We're really counting on the community's feedback to move the game forward.
We plan multiple contests and activities to inspire the players' creativity.”
