Why Early Access?

“I have plans for some additional features, but I would like community feedback before I proceed any further. Some balancing changes will probably also need to be done for the industry recipes and building costs.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Roughly 3 to 6 months, but possibly longer. I don't want to release it until I'm satisfied that it's free from major bugs, and the game is reasonably balanced.”

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

“I plan on adding a colonist education / skill system. Industry recipes and technologies will likely change to improve game balance. I may add a few new buildings, and I will improve the detail of some of the models and terrain graphics.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The game is nearly feature-complete and stable. Players can build an empire spanning multiple planets, grow a civilization, and upgrade technologies to unlock all buildings and vehicle equipment.

The only planned feature I haven't implemented yet is the colonist education and skill system, and some improvements to the models and terrain graphics to make them more detailed.”

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

“Price will increase slightly when the game leaves early access.”

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

“Community feedback is important, for helping to identify bugs and improving game balance.”
