Why Early Access?

“Early Access allows us to spend more time on features and bug fixes while also listening to player feedback.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Our Goal is to have a finished game towards the end of 2026, but we can't promise that it'll be done by that time exactly.”

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

“The Early Access version is currently in Alpha
Sirius-4 is currently in Alpha, which means that many bugs are to be expected, core gameplay elements can change, features are missing or might even be removed and so on. Our plan for the full release is:
Modding Support (Ships, Stations, Planets, Sectors, etc)
... (and more)
This list may change during development and is not final or a promise that any of these will make it in.”

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

“Feedback and Surveys: Conduct regular surveys and collect player opinions on various aspects of the game, such as mechanics, story, and design. This will allow us to understand the expectations and preferences of the community.

Social Media: Create an active community on social media where players can discuss the game, share ideas, and suggest improvements.

Participation in the development: The introduction of the “friends of developers” program, where dedicated fans will be able to participate in the decision-making process on any aspects of the game.

Content from the community: Encouraging the creation of user-generated content such as models, art, and fanfiction that can be integrated into the game.”
