Why Early Access?

“The core mechanics of the game are fully functional, and every feature of the experience is working as intended. We're at a point where we can add new content with ease, like research projects or ships, and they integrate seamlessly into the game.

However, the main campaign itself is taking longer to build than we initially anticipated. While the supporting systems are in place, the lack of a dedicated level designer means we're juggling content creation and feature expansion. As a result, both areas suffer.

To give players something exciting to dive into during this period, we've created a special roguelite campaign prologue. This will explore the assassination of the Blessed Mother and the founding of Sanctuary, taking place centuries before the events of the main story. It's a galaxy-hopping adventure where you lead a flotilla of faithful through various challenges using all the systems from the main game, but with a lighter narrative focus.

Our goal with Early Access is to deliver an experience that feels complete on its own while we continue to refine the gameplay, fix technical issues (especially in VR), and take the time to craft an immersive, engaging campaign with an expanded team. Your feedback will help us make the game even better, and we appreciate your support in shaping the final release.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We anticipate the main campaign to take around a year of development.”

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

“The full version will build on the core gameplay systems in Early Access by adding an immersive, story-driven campaign that ties everything together. Shifting the perspective from survivor to rebellion commander, you'll navigate a rich narrative full of twists, betrayals, and high-stakes decisions with the fate of the galaxy on the line.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The game is feature complete with a special roguelite prologue campaign that allows you to hop in the cockpit and explore the game's strategy layer mechanics with a light narrative leading to the events of the main story.”

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

“We currently have no plans to change to price. We're using Early Access to polish and finalize an already expansive experience.”

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

“Since the beginning, we've been building our community through active conversations and feedback, especially on our Discord. We're dedicated to staying connected with you throughout the development process, taking your suggestions, feedback, and bug reports seriously. Your voice will help us shape everything from gameplay mechanics to story content as we continue to refine and polish the game.”
