Waarom vroegtijdige toegang?

'The purpose of our Early Access is to involve the gaming community in the development process of Spaceminers and gather valuable feedback from experienced players. This feedback allows the Spaceminers team to identify and address bugs and issues, balance gameplay, and make improvements based on real-world experiences and player preferences.'

Hoelang blijft dit spel ongeveer in vroegtijdige toegang?

'We intend to stay in Early Access while we release all the Spaceminers Academy training modes. We plan to launch the full version in 2025, giving constant free content updates throughout this period.'

Hoe gaat de volledige versie verschillen van de versie met vroegtijdige toegang?

'This Early Access version is focused on the Spaceminers Academy, a school to train worthy rebels from around the galaxy into Spaceminers. Students who first enter the school are called Cadets; they rank up after completing each training course until they graduate from the Academy as a Spaceminer.

Introducing our first training course, Gold Runner. This timed racing obstacle course is available now, allowing players to compete against both themselves and global leaders to achieve the best time while crossing the finish line. In this game mode, players will learn essential skills such as running, jumping, and hazard avoidance, all aimed at boosting their confidence to become the fastest cadet in the Spaceminers Academy.

Our second training, Gold Warrior, offers a single-player or PvE Co-Op arena experience for up to 4 players. Here, players will master the Spaceminers Combat System as they battle waves of enemies and ultimately face off against a final boss. Each completion of the arena rewards players with new gear and weapons, enabling them to customize their characters. This module is set to be released by the end of 2023.

The third and final training course, Gold Miner, takes players to a special room designed to teach the fundamentals of the Spaceminers Mining System. Working against the clock, players must collect as much gold as possible. Every week, the player who collects the most gold will receive unique and special new gear and weapons as a reward. This module is scheduled for release in early 2024.

As for the complete Spaceminers game, it's still a work in progress. We'll be sharing more information in the coming months.'
