Perché l'accesso anticipato?

“Although Heliopolis Six has everything it needs to be played as intended, we want to extend the content for which we already have plans. For example additional station parts, different station part sizes and a more complex resident behaviour. With Early Access we hope to determine what and how this content can be integrated. Additionally we see it as an opportunity to find and remove as many bugs as possible - if there are bugs at all ;) Therefore feedback from the community is much appreciated.”

Per quanto tempo questo gioco rimarrà in accesso anticipato?

“We expect to be in Early Access for at least 12 months. But since the future is unpredictable, this is subject to change.”

Quali saranno le differenze fra la versione completa e quella in accesso anticipato?

“For the full version of the game we plan to add more station parts, modules and vessels, different recreation modules and a cargo vessel. Furthermore we want to add new size classes for station parts. Currently, station parts are available in size class S, planned are the classes M, L and potentially X as class for special construction projects. Additionally, we like modules to change the surface of the station part they are built into, if it is reasonable. The space station residents are another pillar of the gameplay and we are planning to extend their behaviour. This can be, among other things, a greater number of available activities, regarding both work and recreation and that the space station as habitat has a greater impact on the residents. And what shouldn’t be missing, from our perspective, is a camagne telling a story, presenting different challenges and taking the player to different places in the solar system.”

Qual è lo stato attuale della versione in accesso anticipato?

“Currently a solid implementation of the core gameplay exists. Building and extending station parts, mining and refining of resources and hiring and managing of residents work as expected.

The current version 0.3 includes the following:

• 12 station parts
  
• 15 modules
  
• 25 ressources
  
• building in all 3 dimensions
  
• extending station parts with different modules
  
• implementation of resident behaviour
  
• management of resource refining and distribution

Il prezzo del gioco varierà durante e dopo l'accesso anticipato?

“We plan to gradually raise the price when shipping new content and features.”

Come pensi di coinvolgere la Comunità durante il processo di sviluppo?

“We have a Discord Server, where both the community and the developers can discuss the current state, feature requests, bug reports and other issues.”
