Why Early Access?

“Cosmorists is still a planetesimal of a game, not a fully formed matured planet yet, and once released as an Early Access, the community will be involved in adding mass to the planet that is Cosmorists. As the game gets fleshed out, the community can push Cosmorists into a direction that both me, and the community would want. Once it's officially released, the planetesimal that is Cosmorists will be a full fledged matured planet with a stable orbit, and stable features that are locked in place by its core. New features that could potentially be added after that are changes to the planets characteristics!”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Even though I may continue to provide updates for the game after Early Access, it'll take approximately 3 years counting from August 2023 before Cosmorists has all the planned features down, and patched all the relevant bugs the community can find, and I'd consider it a completed package.”

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

“I've been working on the game solo since December 2021, but I plan to add a lot more content and features to the game as it develops in the Early Access phase.

It'll include things such as new biomes to explore, new enemies, an expanded tech tree, upgradable spaceships, quality of life features, and more base building features.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Cosmorists is quite playable with a decent amount of content. Most of the mechanics are done, and you can explore a decent amount of biomes. The features that are currently in the game can be found under "About this game".”

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

“As the game gets fleshed out, the price will gradually increase until the full release, where it'll stay the same price apart from sales.”

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

“The community can suggest ideas that they'd want on the Steam forums, or on my YouTube channel, as long as it fits the game's design, as well as being able to report bugs that need fixing.”
