Wozu Early Access?

„We have chosen to go with an Early Access release to allow for a community of players to get involved in the final balancing and help us learn more about the game's balance. Astronomics has been in development for quite some time and it features an engaging core loop that we have plans to take farther and we want to make sure that the direction we take is one players enjoy. Early Access allows us to gather that data as we balance the game and figure out the final elements that will make it great.“

Wie lange wird dieses Spiel ungefähr den Early Access-Status haben?

„We plan to remain in Early Access for approximately 8-10 months. The length of the Early Access stage will be driven by the feedback and response of the community.“

Wie soll sich die Vollversion von der Early Access-Version unterscheiden?

„The full version is meant to be more balanced, more polished and feature some additional systems that result from our iterations during Early Access. We already have plans to introduce some more mining tools along with some new contract types and we are looking forward to hearing the community's thoughts on what could make the game even greater in its full release.“

Was ist der derzeitige Stand der Early Access-Version?

„We initially had planned for the game to be playable from start to finish but over the course of playtesting have expanded the scope and now this Early Access release will contain only the first 3 regions with the first 12 asteroid classes along with plenty of contracts, tools, equipment and upgrades for players to get into. In total we have 7 regions planned and will be opening up the game to new regions with each content update as we go.

This means that the game is currently not playable through to the end as was previously stated in the answer to this question.

We will be growing this experience and continue balancing the gameplay through Early Access.“

Wird dieses Spiel während und nach Early Access unterschiedlich viel kosten?

„There is no definitive plan but it is likely that the price of the game will increase when we complete the Early Access stage.“

Wie werden Sie versuchen die Community in den Entwicklungsprozess miteinzubeziehen?

„We are hoping to gather player feedback and learn through the forums about how the game is being played and what elements players think would improve their experience. We are interested in quality of life as well as larger system ideas and building Astronomics into the greatest game that it can be. We will be interacting with the community on here in the Community forums as well as on our discord and gathering feedback through an in-game feedback form.“
