Why Early Access?

“I want this game to be as fun and engaging as possible, and to do that I need the help of players who see themselves as part of the process and are invested in the experience.

My goals for the game include additional races, missions, bosses, weapons, and an overall more polished experience. I'm counting on involvement and feedback from players to make this happen as development continues.

I plan to make navigation and mission objectives more important to progress. Right now the core systems of the game have been created, and I want to expand upon them and make a fun experience.

For overall feel, my goal is that the atmosphere and environment will also be more engaging and important to the player's experience. I want to create a convincing universe.

I've already spent a lot of time on this game, and as I make it into the game it was meant to be, I look forward to the feedback and involvement of players.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“The plan is for the game to be in Early Access for one year. I plan to provide a roadmap with planned features and approximate delivery dates that I plan to update regularly. ”

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

“For the full version I plan to have additional races, missions, bosses, weapons, and an overall more polished experience.

I plan to make navigation and mission objectives more important to progress.

For overall feel, my goal is that the atmosphere and environment will also be more engaging and important to the player's experience.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“As of April, 2025 the Early Access version allows the player to unlock and access 9 ships and a variety of upgrades, and battle three bosses in three different realms. There are also 3 missions that occur between boss fights. I plan to add ships and other features in themed updates as I approach full release.

The game is not finished, and will have plenty of warts, but I'm hoping the feedback of patient players will help me add content and polish in a way that makes it the most fun possible.

”

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

“Price will not change as I move out of early access.”

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

“My plan is to be regularly implementing feedback from the community and soliciting advice. I plan to do regular updates based on his advice. For instance, I have already added features suggested by NextFest demo players. I plan on maintaining a playtest version for extreme changes that might break the game, and will invite helpful players to participate in that if they wish.”
