Why Early Access?

“We are a small team and Early Access will help us get in touch with our audience and community. We aim to deliver the best anti-submarine warfare experience out there, so communicating with players over the ongoing development process is key to achieve this.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Depending on the feature requests and feedback that comes in during development, we aim to adjust the scope of the game accordingly. Right now, we would like to have the game fully realized within 6 to 8 months.”

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

“We want to implement some features that would thrive and profit from Early Access feedback: Rescuing survivors, torpedo attacks against the escorts, a campaign, quality of life and miscellaneous features. The core features of Destroyer: The U-Boat Hunter are already in place, but new content and features will turn the game into its final form over the Early Access period.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The current state of the game delivers a stable and polished core experience, with high replayability thanks to custom scenarios and generated challenges. The core of the game, that being the player’s interactions with the ship, is already well realized and in a state that we are proud of.”

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

“Possibly. We will evaluate the pricing regularly as the game gains features, expands in scope and moves to beta and then final release.”

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

“We are already very involved in letting our community be part of the development. But giving them access to the game to move them from onlookers to participants will increase the involvement and give both sides a great opportunity to improve the game over the period of Early Access. We will closely monitor your experiences and suggestions, whether you post them on the community hub or release them in video or text form in other places around the internet!”
