Hvorfor tidlig tilgang?

«As a solo developer, playtesting and community feedback are extremely important to me. I am releasing in Early Access in order to get feedback from players about the game and to involve them throughout the development process. I hope that by releasing in Early Access, I will be able to create and deliver a better product.»

Hvor lenge antas det at dette spillet vil være i tidlig tilgang?

«This game is planned to remain in Early Access for approximately 9 months. This is based on the scope of the game left to complete for a full release and how long it has taken me to develop.»

Hvordan er det planlagt at fullversjonen skal være forskjellig fra versjonen i tidlig tilgang?

«The Early Access version currently contains about 70% of the game's planned content for full release. More importantly than content is the stable bedrock I have been able to build. The last several months before release have been spent on polishing, optimizing, and bug fixing, ensuring that additional content will be much easier to add.

Content that I plan to add includes:
- New stages, with their own enemies and boss
- New attachments and attachment classes
- New ships and crew members
- New Void Crystals and Relics
- Steam Achievements»

Hva er nåværende tilstand for versjonen i tidlig tilgang?

«The current state of the Early Access version is a fully playable game with lots of progression and replayability. The following months will focus on fleshing out the remaining content, fixing any bugs or balance issues that players find, and implementing community feedback.

A full run takes about 20 minutes to complete, taking the player through all 4 implemented stages, each with their own set of enemies and a boss fight. Progressing through all 12 Void Crystals, unlocking all ships and crew, and experiencing all the different relics and attachments is likely a 5-6 hour experience.

In between now and full release, there will be smaller patches to fix bugs or balance issues and one major update to add about half of the remaining content. A roadmap is included within the game to give players an idea of future progress.

In terms of content, the Early Access release has:
- 35 attachments
- 11 attachment classes
- 4 stages
- 4 bosses
- 7 ships
- 17 crew members
- 95 relics
- 12 void crystals»

Vil spillet være priset annerledes under og etter tidlig tilgang?

«The price will increase slightly after the full release. No price increases will happen in between Early Access and Full Release.»

Hvordan planlegger dere å involvere samfunnet i utviklingsprosessen?

«I have a discord and have used Steam Playtest in the past. This has been very helpful in allowing me to find bugs, but has also been limited by my community of dedicated playtesters. I hope that by releasing in Early Access, I will gain access to a much greater pool of playtesters as players are able to provide feedback throughout the development process. I also hope that by involving players in the development process, I can help my community grow, which will in turn give me more feedback and ideas on improving the game.»
