Wozu Early Access?

„As a single developer, I have limited resourced to test across many hardware configurations, yet I'm committed to putting out a solid game others enjoy. I want to fine tune gameplay and eliminate as many issues as I can before fully releasing the game.

Early Access lets me collect feedback to fine tune the game technically and artistically in cooperation with the players and their hardware who will enjoy this game the most.“

Wie soll sich die Vollversion von der Early Access-Version unterscheiden?

„Early Access is limited to free play "Cruise" mode and the prologue which includes the tutorial.
The prologue levels and enemies will receive balance adjustments and audio-visual enhancements up until the exit from early Access.

Three narrative-driven DLC episodes will become available after the Early Access period. These episodes include new environments, enemies, and complete story.“

Was ist der derzeitige Stand der Early Access-Version?

„Early Access is the feature complete beta test. All primary features are implemented, but only some of the content for the tutorial and first episode is complete. Some dialog is placeholder, and some elements may not be completely tutorialized.

Core gameplay and all prologue enemies are in the game, but systems and AI still need balancing and adjustments.

The idler loop and many upgrades are available, but item pricing, especially hacking upgrades, is wildly unbalanced.“

Wird dieses Spiel während und nach Early Access unterschiedlich viel kosten?

„No. The prologue is free.

However, additional narrative-driven DLC will be available for purchase starting at the end of Early Access. (See Above)

Achievements will be added, but Trading Cards might not make it.“
