Miksi Early Access?

We chose Early Access for XR22-SEAGUARD to engage with our community early on and gather valuable feedback. Our goals include improving cross-platform multiplayer capabilities and allowing players to manually place their ships on the game board. Early Access allows us to refine and enhance the multiplayer experience, promote social interaction, and ensure a polished competitive matchmaking system. We are committed to continuously working on the game, incorporating player suggestions, and seeing our project through to completion. Your support and feedback during this Early Access phase are instrumental in shaping the final product.

Miten kauan peli tulee arviolta olemaan Early Access -vaiheessa?

We expect XR22-SEAGUARD to be in Early Access for approximately 4-5 months or even longer

Millä tavoin lopullinen versio tulee eroamaan Early Access -versiosta?

As XR22-SEAGUARD progresses towards the full version, we plan to introduce several exciting enhancements, including but not limited to:
- A dedicated Steam-only mode, allowing players to enjoy seamless multiplayer/Single-player exclusively with their Steam friends—no Epic account required.
- Crossplay Control: Enable or disable crossplay for a focused Steam-only community gameplay experience.
- Helicopter Exploration: Fly with a helicopter for an aerial view of the battleground and freely explore the battle pool. Full functionality arrives with the Unreal Engine 5 upgrade
- Customization Options: Choose your country’s flag, select between male or female avatars, and personalize your in-game identity.
- Manual Ship Placement: Strategically position your ships with over 1.9 billion placement combinations, guided by an intelligent system ensuring correct placement.
These planned additions aim to enhance the multiplayer experience, promote social interaction, enrich strategic gameplay, and refine competitive matchmaking in the full version of XR22-SEAGUARD. Please note that the game's development is an ongoing process, and specific details or features may evolve and change based on community feedback and the game's development direction throughout the Early Access phase. We are committed to working closely with our community to shape the game's future, and your input during this Early Access period will be instrumental in shaping the final product.

Mikä on Early Access -version tila tällä hetkellä?

- Platforms: The game is available on PC (Windows) and compatible with VR devices such as HTC Vive/Pro,
Oculus Rift/Rift S, and Valve Index , Oculus Quest2/3 via Link Cable.
- Single-player mode: Play against an AI opponent with two difficulty levels, featuring a ranking and achievements system.
- Multiplayer mode: Includes a ranking and achievements system based on the Elo rating.
Steam players can invite friends to join battleship combats and use an in-game chat.

This game utilizes Epic Account Services (EOS) to connect players between the Steam and Epic storefronts. If a new user doesn't have an Epic Account, they can create a new frictionless proxy Epic Account.
This new Epic Account is linked to their Steam account, enabling automatic login on subsequent game launches,
without the need for users to provide additional information like email addresses or passwords.

Muuttuuko pelin hinta Early Access -vaiheen jälkeen?

Yes, the price of XR22-SEAGUARD will change when it leaves Early Access. We plan to add an additional amount to the price due to the new features and content we will be adding. We believe that the added value justifies the increased price.
