Why Early Access?

“After launching the demo and building a passionate Discord and Steam community, I realized this is the path forward for Drift. Being able to build in the open, with immediate feedback from passionate players has been a joy and will continue to impact the game in a positive way.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“With the current team and scope, Drift will remain in Early Access for at least six months. During this time, bug fixes and major content updates will be developed.”

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

“The full version of the game is planned to include a complete research tree that allows the players to build all the equipment their ship needs to return home. This will require players to venture into more mysterious biomes in the asteroid field and collect, process and build with new resources found in each.

In addition, new secondary features are planned to provide more options to traverse, explore and survive.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The Early Access version of the game will launch with all core features mentioned in the store page, including co-op multiplayer. Players will be able to work together or solo to build, craft, explore and research what they find in the field. The asteroid field will include distinct biomes full of flora, fauna and precious resources.”

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

“The price will likely remain the same when we leave Early Access.”

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

“I read all suggestions, bug reports and general feedback in Discord and Steam - and respond to almost all of it! The demo updates are the product of fantastic feedback from players like you and the game will be no different.”
