What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“While many of the basic mechanics in Deep Space Outpost are complete, there are still lots of advanced mechanics and systems to add for it to become a fully-rounded experience.

Early Access allows us to get your feedback as early as possible to shape Deep Space Outpost into the best game we can.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Currently aiming to finish Early Access in 2025. We want to keep working on Deep Space Outpost until it delivers a satisfying gaming experience.”

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

“We have a lot planned during the Early Access period. We'll continue to improve existing features while also implementing new ones, with the purpose of expanding the gameplay experience.

These are some of the features we are hoping to implement:-

- Expanded sandbox, additional scenarios.
- More production and defence items.
- More recreation items for your crew and visitors.
- More events (pirate attacks, space anomalies).
- Research or upgradability of items.
- Steam functionality - leaderboards/cloud save/achievements.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Our current build of Deep Space Outpost provides a sandbox mode and several scenarios (with seed generated levels). Many of the core mechanics are implemented, including: resource gathering, refining, building infrastructure and space threats.

Our demo is updated alongside our early access build (generally), so do give that a try. Demo features a restricted sandbox mode, (no load/time limited).”

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

“Our current pricing is to encourage those people who want to be part of the early access process and help shape Deep Space Outpost. Price is being raised gradually over the months, as features are added, and we approach full release.”

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

“We're releasing via Early Access as we want your feedback. We’d love to hear from you and there are several places you can reach us to do that. Use any of our channels: Steam Community, Itch, YouTube, Twitter. You can follow our updates and progress through these.”
