Why Early Access?

“PLEASE NOTE THIS GAME IS IN ACTIVE DEVELOPMENT. IT MAY NOT REPRESENT THE FINAL QUALITY OF THE PRODUCT. EVERYTHING IS STILL SUBJECT TO CHANGE.

ORIGIN is an ambitious project for a Solo Developer, doesn't mean it can't be done or that I will always be working alone, I am looking to get more developers involved in this project, and the work on it towards full release may take as long as a few years but hope not. Me, as the developers, are interested to ensure that players from our community can enjoy the game as early as possible, and can give some feedback on it. This may greatly improve the quality of the final product because it will be created in collaboration with the players, and it will also speed up the process of searching and fixing bugs in the early builds.

ORIGIN do contain placeholder assets that will be replaced in the future. I would greatly help me to get input from the community already playing the game. I truly want to make this game a success.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“I expect that the game will be in Early Access state from 12 to 18 months. This will be enough time to complete the development of the minimal set of gameplay features as planned. Of course, the actual state of things will depend on many factors that are difficult to predict.”

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

“This feature lists will make clear how the game will differ during early access period and after the release of the full version.

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

“I plan to increase the price of the game slowly as I am getting closer to the release of the final version. In the early development stages, the price will be slightly lower, reflecting a kind of "thank you" to our community for participation and assistance in development process.”

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

“As I mentioned above, I welcome any feedback, be it comments, ideas, feature requests or bug reports. To achieve that, I will use a maximum of possible communication channels with our players, from Steam discussion forums to social networks and even comments on videos at my official YouTube channel.

Everything that players say about my project has a significant value to me and I will constantly analyze the feedback during the development to make the final product to look the way the players want it to be.

I ask that everyone please bare with me and help make this game amazing, please, if you have ideas or suggestions do not hesitate to contact me.

I promise to do my utmost best to meet every players expectation of the game.”
