What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“We focus on the initial development in the realism and graphic quality of our game.
Once this is done we can explore all the possibilities! Like missions and challenges involving more situations.
We are currently testing and adding more missions to the game, but we don't want quantity, we want quality. So each mission is thought out and adds a new component to the game.
You will notice that in the first missions, we teach you how to use the weapons and controls and in other missions these items are complementary to help you finish it.
Other ideas are still cooking on our to-do board. But the idea of ​​publishing now is to follow with the community what path we should take to prioritize what makes the most sense for the majority.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We hope that in 6 months after the initial release we will be able to implement everything we imagine. So we are talking about leaving early access in the late 2023.
However, we are keeping an eye on the reviews and tips that the community will ask us and we may have to implement more elaborate items. For example, multiplayer and collaborative missions. Today the game is 100% single player and if the community wants it, we will have to start this huge effort. That it makes no sense to implement before launching and find out if it really would make a big difference in the experience.”

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

Lasting Compatibility
We aim for compatibility with all the VR headsets that will be launched. Today we are already compatible with everyone that is compatible with OpenXR.

Customizations
We thought about allowing the customization of the weapons. Today they make sense for missions but not necessarily to play as it is.

VR Graphics
We think that the graphics, although beautiful and run very smoothly on the PCs that run VR, optimizations appear in the process and we are sure that we will be able to add more scenario items with the same processing cost.

Many developers are not concerned with optimizing their VR games. Generally, the game is designed for the desktop and then is compatible with VR. We have experience in this type of development and we know that when we make a game for virtual reality it needs to be 100% focused on VR. Interaction with the game, comfort while using the controls and improving the experience are part of our day and I think that in the future, we will reach even more the state of the art.

Conclusion
We will never release products that is buggy, boring and weak in the experience for you. We focus on quality, physics and VR interactions to your perfection!
However, we know that now that the game is ready we have many incredible possibilities to explore! We will need time and feedback to make the best VR product possible!”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

Physics is Perfect
We have been improving our physics for desktop games for a few years now and we now port this technology to virtual reality. T

The Scenario is Beautiful
We focus on a realistic sci-fi perspective, with a rocket launch and a Sci-fi base. Enemies are intelligent and responds do user actions.

Different and challenging missions.
We focused on this initial version on quality, not quantity. The missions are interesting and teach you how to use each of the components from the game”

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

Yes
For some basic reasons.
The final product may have some costs (such as servers, for example) and also because we want our players in the initial phase to have a discount while playing the game
We think the current price for our early adopters is fair and we will certainly make a fair price later. We want a long-term game and establish ourselves as a VR development company for life.”

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

Features, features and features
We create a state-of-the-art world. A fully VR sci-fi shooter and the possibilities are now huge!

We think our brainstorms for the future are very productive but we also know that the Steam community is huge culturally and certainly everyone's feedback will be taken into account.

Today we think about features and ideas for missions and maybe even more story. And please! Give us your feedback!”
