Why Early Access?

“DRAPLINE is a training-based roguelite where your goal is to raise a dragon girl to be the strongest within one in-game year.
We chose Early Access because we want to refine the game through real player feedback—especially in areas like replayability, build diversity, and difficulty tuning.
As we work toward the full release, we plan to improve game balance and UI based on your input. Our ultimate goal is to deliver a complete and uncompromising experience in both gameplay and content volume.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We’re aiming for a development period of 6 months to 1 year, targeting a full release between late 2025 and summer 2026.
That said, the timeline may be adjusted depending on content volume and player feedback.
We will share a roadmap with each major update and notify players in advance if an extension becomes necessary.”

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

“In Early Access, players can experience the core systems and play through the full main scenario: DAYS OF TORNADO.
Future updates will unlock post-game modes, multiple ending routes, and more.
We’ll also be adding new skills, fine-tuning the balance for advanced players, and improving the UI/UX step by step as development progresses.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The current version includes:
・Complete main scenario: DAYS OF TORNADO
・High-difficulty mode for strategic and advanced play
・Test version of the achievement system
・Over 150 skills
・Language support for English, Japanese, and Simplified Chinese”

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

“Yes. During Early Access, we’re offering the game at a lower price to reflect its in-development status.
The price will increase upon full release, in accordance with the additional content and polish.
We encourage you to try the game now at its current value!”

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

“We’re actively accepting feedback through the Steam Community Hub.
Whether it’s bug reports or suggestions like “this skill is overpowered” or “UI needs improvement,” we’d love to hear from you.
Your feedback helps shape our priorities for bug fixes and feature updates. Thank you for being part of the journey!”
