Why Early Access?

“Early Access will allow to receive feedback on the implemented features. A game with such deep mechanics requires it to be developed with the community. The game will evolve with the community, with the goal to make it as accessible as possible.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“The goal is to provide several major updates during the Early Access cycle of Rocket Engineer. The plan is to have it in Early Access for at least 5 years. We plan for the first year to be mostly about quality of life improvements and then starting to build the new planned systems. Then we plan to support the game post 1.0 for as long as possible.”

“The full version plans to include things like:
- More parts and fuel types

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

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