Why Early Access?

“Because we want to engage the community and get player feedback as soon as possible. We believe that listening to players during development will help make Space Shells an even better game, and plan to add new content, test new features, listen to player feedback and refine the game experience throughout Early Access”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We expect to leave Early Access before the end of 2023, but it’s also important to us that we remain flexible and respond to players' thoughts and feedback, which may have an impact on our development roadmap.”

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

“We’ve already been working on Space Shells for a year and feel like the Early Access version is at a great point in development for players to begin the adventure and start playing. But there is still much more to come and we’re planning to add many more features and content throughout Early Access, including:

• New Shells
  
• More spaceships style
  
• New enemies, elites and bosses.
  
• Many more weapons types, usable items and devices.
  
• Additional types of missions and story
  
• Additional gameplay mechanics for lockpicking, energy system hacking
  
• Tweaked & refined game design iterated on through community feedback.
  
• Another language support.

”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“We plan to update the Early Access version regularly with new features and content, but right now it contains:

• The Hub
  
• 4 spaceship with randomly generated obstacles and usable items
  
• 3 type weapons
  
• 2 shells
  
• one mission type
  
• upgrades system

”

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

“We expect the price to increase as we transition out of Early Access into full release, due to the final game having more content and being a rounded experience. Buy earlier, save money.”

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

“We will read and consider all feedback received through Steam and Discord. We encourage all players to tell us how they feel about the level design, gameplay elements, sound, and anything they consider important. We'll take everything into account for the full game.”
