What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“As gamers, we understand the hesitancy to get involved with Early Access. Rest assured, many of our game features are already implemented in this Early Access version of the game. While there are several "End Game", quality of life and expanded features still to come as they are tied in with some of the lore aspects in the future chapters of the game, we want to try and gather as much feedback on the core systems of the game as possible as we push forward into creating these remaining chapters.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We are in the final phase of Early Access development and expect the full release, barring any unforeseen circumstances or delays, to be sometime within this first quarter of 2025.”

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

“The full version of the game will include a full visual overhaul as well as a completely new tutorial with less reading and more visual aids. This will release during Early Access, but will likely not reach the fully polished final form until our official launch. It will also include whole new guild systems, extremely challenging Elite Dungeons, the completed Chapter 1 story which includes a zone not currently in Early Access, and more!”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The current state of Early Access includes the majority of Chapter 1, and most of the full version features. However, it is using placeholder UI and a placeholder tutorial and we encourage those not familiar with gaming in general to simply add us to your wishlist and keep an eye out for the Early Access patch which includes the new UI and the updated 'Logbook', which is our tutorial. At this point, the game will be near completion.”

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

“No. We do not plan to increase or reduce the pricing of The Merchant's Guide to the Kingdom upon launch.”

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

“We will be actively discussing the game features and plans with the community via Discord, as well as taking in as much feedback as possible around the current features, the planned features, and any feature ideas our players may have to add to (or remove from!) the game. As this information makes it our way and we continue development into the next chapters of the game, we will be actively making any changes to the current content as needed to ensure the overall game is the best combination of our initial vision and the feedback from the community.”

About This Game

Create Your Guild
Create and manage your own guild of heroes. Choose your class and specialization for a set of loyal guild officers you create who will follow your every command, no matter the danger. With a realm full of eager potential heroes making their own logical AI driven decisions, recruit those which stand out to you into your guild and provide for them. In return, you will earn their loyalty as they assist your guild officers in the group dungeons and raids with party sizes of up to 40 heroes. Deploy your might to help restore peace to the world and provide aid to protecting the ancient and powerful Earthstone.

Grow Your Realm
It’s not just your guild that needs help. Engage in trade routes between the smaller towns and larger cities outside of your own. Create an economy of powerful gear and crafting materials to aid the world heroes on their own quests and adventures, while posting quests that the heroes will take upon themselves to complete for you. Engage in deep strategy by posting the right quests at the right times to help push the world heroes in the right direction of obtaining more experience and gear to grow along with your own officers. Upgrade gathering nodes and your quest log, rank up the dungeons of the world to better reward any hero powerful enough to come out alive.

Empower Your Heroes
Collect various materials you can use to forge powerful gear for the heroes of the realm. Hunt monsters in the world or delve deep into the perilous dungeons. Emerge victorious and claim the spoils of each new battle you face. Beware, as death is permanent in this Realm. Each death has consequences within the Realm, but the deeds of the fallen aid in empowering the realm and will serve to benefit the future heroes to come so long as you do your part.
