Proč předběžný přístup?

„Early Access will allow players to help us get the game to release while we complete the additional content and features. We also believe that the game will be better for having the feedback and support of the community while we finish creating the content and polish.

The structure is solid but the game needs more content. We’re excited to finish making the locations, characters, and stories that will being the world to life!

Starwisp Hyperdrive is an ambitious project for a two person core team. But as an independent studio made up of developers who have worked on larger commercial releases, we’re familiar with complexity and scope.

If you choose to support us in this ambitious endeavour, we’re really grateful!“

Jak se bude plná verze lišit od předběžného přístupu?

• Crew with their own stories and quests.
  
• Additional quest locations, such as planets, moons, space stations and more.
  
• Additional locations that are not part of the main story, but feature their own unique stories, characters and quests.
  
• Lots more character customisation options - clothing, hair, and a masculine player base.
  
• More crafting - items, processes, and blueprints.
  
• Additional robot types.
  
• Trade – buying, selling, and managing cargo, which takes up room in the hold.
  
• Customisable ship colours.
  
• Space “weather” events such as nebulae, ion storms and asteroid fields.
  
• Generated location variations - asteroid and derelict types.
  
• Hidden easter eggs and discoveries.
