What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“Our experience has taught us that it's vital to get early feedback from our players to polish and refine our games. This applies to Silica even more so, as the game is being made by an external developer through our Bohemia Incubator program.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Our goal is to have Silica in Early Access for approximately one year.”

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

“During Early Access, we plan to continue polishing the current game modes and adding more content, such as more combat units, and also to improve the gameplay as a whole.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“At the moment, the game has two fully playable game modes: Strategy and Arena. Strategy is the flagship game mode where players take on the role of Commander, experiencing classic real-time strategy gameplay, or Soldier, bringing an FPS twist to the genre. The Arena is a chaotic pure FPS shooter mode that allows everyone to try all combat units.”

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

“We plan to increase the price slightly after Early Access.”

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

“We intend to use a wide range of methods to gather feedback and engage with the community. These will include Discord, Steam Discussions, and processing feedback through our dedicated Feedback Tracker website app. We also want to use Steam Stats to gather anonymous analytics.”
