Varför Early Access?

“Deep Space Directive is the work of a single developer and feedback is incredibly important. Some of the best ideas in past OWS games have come directly from the community during Early Access. The community can play a significant role in generating new ideas for units, upgrades, enemy behavior, economic balancing and so much more. Early Access is great way to get the community involved early and often!”

Ungefär hur länge kommer det här spelet att vara i Early Access?

“Work is ongoing to implement and polish all of the planned features in Deep Space Directive, but that takes time. DSD will stay in Early Access until all the planned features have been added and all major bugs have been resolved. This is expected to take roughly 12 months once the intial Early Access build is released.

This is the 3rd Early Access title for OWS. Both of the previous games were in Early Access for less than 12 months.”

Hur är det tänkt att den fullständiga versionen ska skilja sig från versionen i Early Access?

“In the full version the complete tech tree will be unlocked with all units and resources developed and accessible. Major early access releases will be focused on unlocking additional tiers of the tech tree. There are currently 6 tiers of the tech tree, 2 were unlocked for the demo, 3 will be unlocked at the start of early access.”

Hur är det nuvarande läget i versionen med Early Access?

“Deep Space Directive is playable and with features primarily lmited by the tech tree being partially locked. Many if not all of the early bugs were addressed when the demo was released prior to Steam Next Fest in October 2024. Feedback from the demo continues to be implemented. Many quality of life improvements have been added and will continue to be added.”
