Why Early Access?

“We are launching our game in Early Access because we want to involve the community in the development process and get feedback from players who are passionate about our genre. Our game is already in a playable state, with core features implemented, but we have more content and improvements that we want to add before the final release. By joining us in Early Access, you will be able to experience the game as it evolves, share your suggestions and opinions, and help us shape the best possible version of our game.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We estimate that our game will be in Early Access for between 12 to 18 months, depending on the feedback we receive from the community and the scope of the changes we want to implement. Our goal is to deliver a polished and complete game that satisfies both our players and ourselves, and we don't want to rush the development process or compromise on quality. However, we will also keep you updated on our progress and communicate any changes in our plans as soon as possible.”

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

“The full version of our game will have more content, features, and improvements than the Early Access version. Specifically, we will be adding:

• More mission and enemy types to provide more variety and challenge to the gameplay.
  
• Additional weapons and ship upgrades for a greater range of customization options and gameplay strategy choices
  
• Point Defence System for protection against missile threats
  
• Full controller support with a combination of multiple buttons and/or quick action menu
  
• Steam Achievements
  
• Polish and improved gameplay based on the community feedback and our testing.

We want to make our game as fun and engaging as possible, and we will listen to your suggestions and opinions during development. We hope you will enjoy the game and join our community as we head into release and beyond.”

“We have no intention of adjusting the price when we leave early access,”

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

“We believe that the community is an essential part of our game development process, and we want to involve you as much as possible. Here are some of the ways we plan to do that:

• We will be active and responsive on our Steam and Discord community channels where you can share your feedback, suggestions, opinions, and questions with us and other players. We will listen to your voice and consider your input for future updates and improvements.
  
• We will regularly update you on our progress and plans through development updates and livestreams. You will be able to see how the game evolves and what we are working on behind the scenes.
  
• We will create a friendly and supportive community atmosphere, where you can interact with other players, make friends, and have fun. We will also moderate the community channels to ensure a respectful and positive environment for everyone.

We hope you will join us in our journey to create an amazing game that we can all enjoy together. Thank you for your support and enthusiasm!”
