Защо „Ранен достъп“?

„Early Access is a great opportunity to improve Starseed and guide and steer development. It gives Heartsynth (that’s us, the dev) a chance to interact with fans and really grasp what they think is most important without derailing our vision for Starseed. Other factors include: help with testing and polishing. And using revenue gained from sales to further development (hiring contractors, commissioning works, buying software, etc)“

Приблизително колко дълго тази игра ще бъде в „Ранен достъп“?

„The current idea is that development will continue beyond a year. It may extend further depending on feedback. We could also see further updates after the full release but that all comes down to feedback and amount of interest in the game.“

Как ще се различава планираната пълна версия от тази в „Ранен достъп“?

„The main focus of Starseed is the freeplay/sandbox experience. It's about making your own destiny and finding your fun as you please. The Early Access version is about developing and refining core mechanics, testing, balancing, etc. Improving as needed with help of players' feedback.

The full release will be significantly more polished and streamlined. It will also include a short story mode designed to help players better understand the world. While story elements will expand, they will remain a secondary aspect of the overall game experience.

Depending on feedback and amount of interest in the game, there could be plans for post full release content. But please don’t purchase expecting this.“

Какво е текущото състояние на версията в „Ранен достъп“?

„The current development is centered around expanding and polishing the freeplay/sandbox features. There are areas to explore and you have your base hub to customize. There are resources to collect, things to craft and many items and upgrades to discover. More content is being added with each update.

Update
At this point we have had multiple small updates and a few bigger ones. There are new items, resources, machines, features and areas (lots of resources, new laser cutter, forests, lava area, etc ). These include updates which were originally planned and new suggestions from players. So the Early Access has really been successful!“

Ще има ли разлика в цената на играта по време на „Ранен достъп“ и след това?

„The game will be cheaper during Early Access as both a thank you to customers for early support and to represent the lack of content.“

Как планирате да ангажирате общността в процеса Ви на разработка?

„We will mainly use Steam updates, news and forums as ways to communicate with players. With our Social media taking a lower priority. It’s difficult to focus on development and communication in an indie scope, but we will continue to keep players updated and respond to feedback. We want players to feel that they are a valued member of this community!“
