Miksi Early Access?

We want your support and feedback! and we want to share our work with you so we can continue development with your support and feedback in mind.

The game has undergone 100+ iterative public builds on other platforms. We have taken into consideration people's suggestions and ideas which they have shared over Discord and Reddit.

And we believe it is now ready for Steam Early Access. We are completing one year of development this Christmas (2022).

Please refer to "About This Game" section for features already available in Early Access.

How often do we update the game? 

Updates to the game have been happening at least once or twice per week,
But sometimes a big update takes 2-3 weeks.

Team Scale

Currently the team consists one gamedev, and friends made making/sharing the game.
We plan to increase the core team as our community size increases. We will be looking for Streamers, Community Managers, Artists, Level Designers etc.

Goal

Our goal for the game is to last longer than 2 years, we would try our best for it to not disappear from internet in 2 years.
We want to setup a self sustaining community around it.

*Personally I would like it to last longer than 5 years.

Whats pending for 1.0 "Release"? 

• Automated Custom Track, Custom Spaceship Review. Currently we manually review each and every track and ship submissions to ensure they are good enough to play.
  
• Self hosted game servers. We have a rough idea what needs to be done, But community feedback for expected features is needed.
  
• Spaceship Skin Submission. Currently this process is manual and needs out of game communication with us. We plan to streamline this. Also a set up an automated review process for the same.
  
• Improved art/graphics/sounds

Since the game will be in early access we might need to reset the scores in case we discover score integrity issues. We had done this once already so we do not expect to do it again.

Mikä on Early Access -version tila tällä hetkellä?

Please refer to "About This Game" section for features already available in Early Access.


Core game loop is finished. Quality of Life fixes and motivational improvements are being done. Art might change. Some new functionalities might be added depending on requirements and suggestions from players feedback.



Depending upon the community demand we might even make the core game servers self hostable.

Muuttuuko pelin hinta Early Access -vaiheen jälkeen?

The game will be priced at minimum paid value (to not be clubbed into free category) during early access. So as to set the customer expectations appropriately. We do not want over promise and under deliver. Or generate hype and fail spectacularly.

The price will go up as development reaches certain milestones.
It will likely be 2x or 3x more expensive once we hit 1.0. It might be higher if needed to fund our servers.
