Miksi Early Access?

Early Access is an opportunity for us to understand what you expect or are content with, we can expand our game accordingly together. Early Access builds are the evolved form of our demo and closed betas, tried and tested, to deliver quality gameplay.

Early Access has taken longer than originally planned for due to expansion of features. We are aiming for but cannot promise a full release in Q4 2023-Q1 2024.

Millä tavoin lopullinen versio tulee eroamaan Early Access -versiosta?

The campaign world map in the Early Access version will be restricted and expanded until the full version is released. The full version will include more missions and perhaps additions of a couple more boats, call ins, etc on top of the final Early Access builds. The game already is mechanically developed, in fact, we seem to have filled all the buttons on the gamepad. We don't intend to add more features in terms of mechanics, apart from reworks or quality of life mechanics.

Mikä on Early Access -version tila tällä hetkellä?

The current Early Access version offers,

• Real time naval combat with crew management,
• Three playable boats with many predetermined loadouts.
• Many challenge scenarios to rank S.
• An ever-improving dynamic Campaign using an abstracted world map of the Solomon Islands to traverse, pick fights, and progress your crew and boat.
• The Fleet Endurance mode that lets you customize your boat and recruit allies to fend off waves of enemies.

The Early Access campaign aims to offer,
• Progression and further improved, vast customization of boat loadouts/builds.
• Completion of the features outlined in the roadmap and discussed in the bi-weekly Developer's Diaries.

Muuttuuko pelin hinta Early Access -vaiheen jälkeen?

The game started out with a discount in its first two weeks, before settling to its current price, which is now the baseline price for this game. Price increases are possible as more content is added throughout Early Access and after release. On full release there will be a discount for a brief period so the game can briefly be purchased at a price set during Early Access.
