Miksi 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.

The length of the Early Access stage will be driven by the feedback and response of the community. Currently we anticipate Early Access to run for a period of at least 8 months.

Millä tavoin lopullinen versio tulee eroamaan Early Access -versiosta?

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.

Mikä on Early Access -version tila tällä hetkellä?

Currently the game is playable from start to finish and players can complete the campaign visiting dozens of procedurally generated asteroid as they make their way home to Earth for the very first time. We hope to grow this experience and continue balancing the gameplay through Early Access.

Muuttuuko pelin hinta Early Access -vaiheen jälkeen?

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

Miten yhteisö otetaan mukaan kehitysprosessiin?

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.
