Why Early Access?

“Since we began work on Project AURA, we had an idea for a different videogame focused on a wide degree of freedom for the player. We think we broke many aspects considered as standard in the genre to open new possibilities. Our wish is to involve the Steam community in all this to participate and help us to improve the playing experience.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We are confident that this game will leave the Early phase along 2015. During this time we are counting on the ideas and suggestions of our community on Steam, opening the possibility to leave their mark and influence on the final result of the video game.”

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

“We have big plans for Project AURA and its early version will little by little be closer to the final version.

There are characteristics that already exist in a very advanced development stage that we will open progressively like:
Colony expansion via platforms
8 new buildings for the Resources, Industrial, Social and Defense sectors
4 corporate buildings
2 new ships

We hope to introduce new characteristics and improve others as a result of the interaction with the community like:
Improving the playability by way of events and missions.
Balancing the economy.
Improving the Node Technology to automatize aspects of the colony.
Steam features like: Steam stats, Steam achievements.

*At the end of the Early phase, the videogame will be available in English, Spanish, French and German languages.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Project AURA is now in phase Beta (Beta 2), while Beta 1 has been already tested by users who preordered the game it will be still very possible to find bugs.
At its beta 2 stage, the core of the playing system is developed and there is a still basic sandbox mode playable.
To help with the introduction of the characteristics of the game, there are 4 tutorials available.”

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

“Yes, we are launching Project AURA with a low price we think is correct for the included content. As we get closer to the final version, the price will increase.

You can find in Project Aura official website additional purchase options like personalizing your own colonist within the videogame.”

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

“Being at the same time developers and players of Project AURA, our objective is to develop a great videogame.
Any interesting contributions will be taken into account, to help on this, we will use the community forum for suggestions, listen and debate ideas. We plan to add a poll system or similar tools.”
