Isle of the Crown

About This Game

From a simple home to a mighty kingdom; explore, expand, exploit, and exterminate your opponent in this strategic pixel-art chess-like hex game using cards as your pieces and their abilities as your tools. As the saying goes; easy to learn, hard to master.

Monetization Method [EARLY ACCESS]

As the game progresses in development, the price will rise; online being the major update that will more than likely double the game’s price.

But until then, the game will be at its lower price-point, with possibly a middle ground between online and the first build; the price only changing when a significant amount of new features and cards have been added, or if sales take off. If I start selling more though, I’ll certainly add far more and do far more than I had initially planned for the beginning- particularly because if that happens, then I can focus completely on game development. And since this is an industry I love, I would happily focus on it.

But of course, these price changes and updates will all be announced and broadcasted for everyone to plan ahead to share with friends and whatnot.
