Why Early Access?

“The game needs more graphical fidelity, content and a campaign.

We want to add more customization options to the player. Additionaly, we plan to add more and varied random missions.

While we have various endings for the game in mind, we also want to support some form of endless play. However both is not ready right now.

Finally, getting multiplayer in is something we'd like to do at the end.

Although the above list is quite extensive, we are moving fast so we are comfortable we can reach these goals in time. We want to hear from you and shape Sweet Surge together.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We plan to have all campaign content in the game before removing EA status. This should be done before summer ends, at most before the end of the year. Depending on player feedback requirements might change, tho.”

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

“Here is what we plan to add for the full release:
-campaign and story, couple of different endings
-endless mode/new game plus
-upgrades to character models
-polish to home, campaign and battle screens
-visual support for different equipment pieces
-visual queues to show which traits are being used for each skill in combat
-weight and info for projectile impact (damage numbers, hit animation)
-various different random mission types (objective-based and boss-like encounters)
-misc. polish
-proper soundscape
-a handful of additional music tracks”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“In the current version you can play with unit customization and pit your crew against others in autobattle glory.”

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

“We plan to gradually raise the price as we ship new content and features.”

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

“The plan is to collect feedback every step of the way. We will gather your feedback on the forums and there will be tools to send feedback from within the game.”
