Why Early Access?

“We believe that player-driven development is essential to creating a fun game. Up until now we've been so grateful for a handful of players who became a part of our closed beta and helped us shape not only the balance of the game, but also the direction of certain features. When you work on something for so long, it can become difficult to see it for what it is, and having fresh new perspectives can be super helpful. This is also our (there's only 2 of us) first game we've ever released, and so launching with some "training wheels" also just seems like a good idea haha.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We estimate being in early access for somewhere in the realm of 4-12 months. I realize that's a big window, but it really depends on what happens once we start getting more players in the discord providing ideas and feedback.”

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

“We plan to:

• Explore some new level concepts that change up gameplay from our standard levels.
  
• Continue to add new abilities and attacks.
  
• Continue to add new captains and ships for each of the abilities/attacks

”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Currently the game includes:

• 3 Levels (The Caribbean, The Bayou, Final Frontier)
  
• ~14 Captains
  
• ~16 Ships
  
• ~36 Abilities
  
• ~20 Bosses

”

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

“The price will not increase after Early Access.”

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

“Community Feedback can be provided and is managed through our discord. We read and respond to all feedback, whether it is a yes, a no, or a maybe, and include our reasonings, whether they are technical, philosophical, etc. We really like to include the community in our thought process behind different decisions and make the experience both personable and educational. ”
