Why Early Access?

“Zero-Point has reached a stage in development where we are very happy with how the game plays and feels.

As development continues, we'd love to get the community involved with feedback on the features currently in the game, plus feedback that could be useful for balancing and bug fixing, as we build our way up to the full release.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“While we don't have a date that's set in stone, we are targeting the game to be fully released within 12 to 18 months of entering Early Access. (This may be subject to change but this is our general goal.)”

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

“We aim to add more playable events and star systems. Additionally, we want to implement missions (linked to Steam achievements) and add more playable crew, weapons and ships, as well as some as-yet-unannounced features that we've been coming up with.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The current Early Access version offers you a fully playable and challenging experience. You can command and recruit crew who gain experience and promote as they serve. There's a variety of powerful weapons to choose from at various depots (trader ships) scattered across the galaxy. You'll encounter different factions with their own strengths and weaknesses, and engage in dynamic ship-to-ship and crew-to-crew combat where you'll be fully hands-on to keep your crew and ship alive. If you can find the Teleporter module, you'll also be able to beam your crew aboard enemy ships to take the fight right to them.

So the current Early Access version represents a solid and replayable chunk of gaming content that should keep players engaged for quite a while. The game is a high difficulty roguelike where no 2 runs are the same!”

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

“The price of Zero-Point will increase when the full version is released. Currently, during Early Access, Zero-Point will be offered at a reduced price - we'd like to thank you for supporting and sticking with us!”

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

“We are encouraging feedback from our players on the Steam forums (check the pinned thread(s) for details) where we'd love to hear your thoughts, balancing feedback, bug reports and so on.”
