Why Early Access?

““Stream Dogfighter is built around streamers and their communities. Early Access gives us the opportunity to learn from real streams, improve match balance and reliability, and gather feedback as we develop additional modes.”

We want to build on the free-for-all experience with cooperative battles and player progression, shaped by how people play and what they enjoy.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

““We currently expect Early Access to last approximately one year or longer. This is an estimate, and the timeline may change as development progresses and we respond to community feedback.””

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

““We plan to expand the game beyond free-for-all battles with cooperative encounters, different combat areas, hostile ships, and group bosses.

Our goals also include progression and rewards for co-op players, further development of Streamer vs Chat, and improvements to balance, performance, and the hosting experience. These plans may evolve during Early Access.
NB: Bugs will be steadily reduced and performance steadily increased.””

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

““The current version supports Chat vs Chat free-for-all spaceship battles. Twitch streamers can host matches, and viewers can join through chat commands.

The companion website lets players view their stats and recent matches, and customize their ship loadout.

Co-op and Streamer vs Chat are not currently included as finished, playable modes. The game remains in development, and players may encounter bugs and balance issues. ””

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

“"We may increase the price as substantial new content and features are added"

Why is Stream Dogfighter not Free - I am not adding microtransaction into the game/experience

- Everything is earned in-game or via Drops”

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

““Players and streamers can share feedback, report bugs, and suggest improvements through our Discord and Steam discussions.

We will use that feedback to help guide match balancing, usability improvements, and the development of future modes. Updates will explain what has changed and what we are working on next.””
