Why Early Access?

“Early Access is a perfect fit for 'To the Star,' as it allows us to develop the game collaboratively with our community. Being a small but ambitious team, player feedback is invaluable to us. It helps ensure we meet our design goals and deliver a fun, high-quality gaming experience.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We anticipate that 'To the Star' will be in Early Access for approximately 6-9 months. However, this timeline may adjust depending on various development challenges that we encounter along the way.”

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

“In the full version of 'To the Star,' our primary focus will be on refining, polishing, and balancing the existing content, particularly the late-game mechanics. The extent of further changes will largely be shaped by player feedback received during Early Access. We're also planning to expand the content by adding more resources, enemies, and crafting options. Additionally, if time permits, we aim to introduce a new diving mechanic and an underwater biome, further enriching the game's experience.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The Early Access version of 'To The Star' is currently in the preparation phase. We're working diligently to ensure that when it launches, players will have a solid and engaging foundation of gameplay that reflects our vision and gives a taste of the full experience to come.”

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

“We currently do not plan to change the game's price during Early Access. However, we will continuously evaluate our pricing strategy and may consider an increase as the game evolves. Rest assured, any potential changes will be communicated well in advance of the main release.”

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

“We are deeply committed to involving our community in 'To the Star's development process. We'll be actively collecting player feedback through our forums, where we'll monitor comments to gauge overall impressions on features, gameplay balance, difficulty, and more. Additionally, our presence on Discord and various social media platforms will facilitate direct engagement. We plan to host regular community brainstorms, AMA (Ask Me Anything) sessions, and share work-in-progress screenshots and videos. Community surveys will also play a crucial role in gathering targeted feedback. Our goal is to create an open dialogue with our players, ensuring their voices are heard and integrated into the game's ongoing development.”
