“There are two primary reasons we see early access as a more substantial process compared to the typical:

(1) Early access in steam allows players to directly support the game development process, providing key insights to help tailor a unique and strong experience for the player. This symbiotic relationship between game developers and the player base keeps the project grounded to meet expectations and deliver a desired outcome.

(2) Early access provides players an opportunity to financially support the project, allowing for development to continue and achieve the projects potential. This is a passion project and we will do everything we can to bring this to the finish line ourselves, but any support is appreciated and helpful.”

“We intend for the game to be released as soon as the base content is completed; we anticipate this should be 12-18 months from release into early access. It is our goal and intent to release high quality content as fast as possible, to expand the experience for the player quickly.”

“Project Gunship in early access will provide the player with a small variety of scenarios and game modes to thoroughly test the game mechanics and flow of gameplay. Assuming there aren’t any major changes to these mechanics resulting from player testing, the primary difference between early access and a full version is content. We have plans on releasing several content packages that contain maps, assets, and scenarios from specific conflicts throughout the history of the AC-130. These would include conflicts in Vietnam, the Middle East, South America, and Eastern Europe.”

“Currently, the early access version provides limited playable content as foundational systems are developed to support the future of the game.

At the moment, there are several game modes that can provide a player at least 2+ hours of gameplay. These include:

• Realistic Scenarios - These are dynamic scenarios that put the player behind the sensor to provide close air support in realistic scenarios. his includes a variety of different types of scenarios including air interdiction, troops in contact, and point defense. As AI is unpredictable, these scenarios can dynamically change from game to game allowing unique experiences each time.
  
• Zombie Rush - This is a point defense game where the player prevents zombies from killing friendly forces. There are several different variations with multiple difficulties.
  
• Training Range - This is a sandbox style game mode that allows the player to spawn enemies to their hard content. This is a useful mode to get comfortable with the controls in the gunship.

With much of the foundational work being completed as of build update 0.6, primary focus going forward will be on scenario creation.”

Liệu trò chơi sẽ có giá khác nhau giữa và sau khi Truy Cập Sớm?

“Yes and no. The early access low price will remain the same into release but will only include the base game and content. Additional DLCs (featuring new content and conflicts) that are added later potentially will be offered at a low cost as well but would need to be purchased in addition to the initial base game purchase. Our intent is to keep pricing low and modular, allowing more players to have reasonable access to the game, while giving them control over which content they continue to purchase.”
