Proč předběžný přístup?

„Currently, the game is in a minimum viable product state. This means that we are still fully developing the features and systems that drive our game and want to get feedback from players to further enhance the game based on the community. This is why we want to have an Early Access phase on Steam.“

„The current state of the project does not allow us to determine for how long Stellar Survivor will remain in Early Access.
Since Stellar Survivor is an academic project, the game is bound to school deliverables deadlines. Once these deadlines have been met, the project will continue development and more updates will follow improving the Early Access version and working towards a full release.“
