Kenapa Akses Awal?

“The Crust is a large project with a vast array of mechanics and high replayability. By the time the game was released in early access, we had been developing it for 7 years and had done a lot, bringing the game to an excellent state.

Early Access allows us to share our journey with the community as we continue to fulfill our vision, taking the necessary time and care required to complete a project of this scale. Feedback is invaluable, and we believe that this platform is a fantastic opportunity for collaboration and growth.”

Bagaimanakah keadaan semasa versi Akses Awal?

“In the Early Access version, players will be able to build a lunar colony, mine resources and automate production processes, explore the moon, play through a rich, story-driven narrative, trade with Earth, influence lunar and Earth politics, manage colonists and their needs, and use conveyor belts and drones for resource automation.

The game offers a wealth of core mechanics, balanced for over 100 hours of sandbox play and several dozen hours of story mode, which extends into infinite play after the main storyline is completed.

While we strive for stability, please note that bugs and missing features may still be present. For more details about the features that you will be able to enjoy in Early Access, please refer to the "About This" section on the Steam page.”

Adakah harga permainan ini berbeza semasa dan selepas Akses Awal?

“We want to ensure that our pricing is fair based on replayability and available content. While new expansions might increase the price, we don't plan for the base game to increase price throughout Early Access, which will result in different pricing post-launch due to updates during the Early Access period.”
