What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“At the time of early access, the game was developed for 2 years. It implements my vision of the "dream game" and lays a solid foundation for a variety of ideas. But I see further development only in close connection with the gaming community - is development moving in the right direction? What would players like to see in the game first? Your opinion is very important to me!”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Prior to the release of version 1.0, in accordance with the release plan for new versions.”

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

v0.12
  • automatic purchasing, shipping, and selling of cargo.
  • scheduling the turning on and off of individual equipment or entire rooms
  • separate personnel control panel
  • automatic transfer of personnel via network of stations
  • different sized equipment
  • redesigned cafe Russian, American and Indian kitchens

v0.13
  • Temperature and radiation will be redesigned and their effect on the colonies will be more significant.
  • Natural disasters will be added (solar flares, meteor showers, dust storms, etc.)
    [Wireless energy transfer between colonies

v0.14
  • Hygiene - facilities, equipment and mechanics related to it
  • Disease and medicine (injuries, pandemics, treatment methods, their impact on gameplay)

v0.15
  • Factions/Societies/Groups and the interaction between them
  • Androids and Clones
  • Interstellar Ship Creation and Dispatch (no arrival to another star yet)

v0.16
  • interface redesign
  • performance optimization

v1.0
  • interactive training
  • exit from early access
.

After leaving early access, I will continue to develop the game:

  • Construction of parks at stations (with trees, lawns, paths, benches, streams and lakes)
  • Conveyor production
  • A greater variety of game models (indoor, outdoor), furniture and equipment
  • Land and air communication of colonies with each other
  • The possibility of building underground and underwater stations, as well as stations floating in the atmosphere (Venus)
  • The discovery of extraterrestrial life, and interaction with it
  • Story mode
  • Flight to other stars
  • etc

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“At the moment, all the basic mechanics are implemented in the game:
  • Simulation of the solar system
  • Construction of stations both on the surface and in the orbit of planets
  • Physically correct space flights
  • Research Tree
  • Vital activity of the staff
  • Resource extraction and production

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

“The price will gradually increase with the release of large updates.”

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

“I am glad to receive any feedback and suggestions from players, and I try to respond to them promptly on Steam, on the official Discord game server or by email.”
