Why Early Access?

“Outer Storms was born from the ambition to create an independent game and offer players complete and unique entertainment.

Straight from a brain in constant turmoil, the launch of Early Access will allow you to appreciate the beginning of the history of the Kerrians.

Community feedback is now essential for the development of Outer Storms. I am therefore counting on this community power to improve the game experience.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Outer Storms will remain in Early Access for at least 18 months, until the game experience is complete. There is still a lot to do and a lot of content planned. The necessary time will be taken to achieve the desired quality.”

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

“Early Access will launch with one planet and several regions to play.
I plan to add more areas and content as development of Outer Storms progresses.

Planned additions

⚇ More planets/areas with environments and resources to collect and mine.
⚇ Interplanetary travel.
⚇ Sanctuaries with challenges and puzzles.
⚇ More technologies to discover and build.
⚇ A variety of enemies ever more hostile.
⚇ Underground cave network.
⚇ Meteorological and extra-space events.
⚇ Character customization.
⚇ Improved AI with group behaviors and hierarchy system.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“After almost a year of solo development, Outer Storms currently includes a starting zone as well as a first playable planet.

The main gameplay mechanics are in place and allow you to explore and get into the action fairly quickly.
The first planet already offers a few hours of gameplay, during which the player will have to explore, collect resources, clean up the alien infection, then begin to impose their presence in a lasting way by terraforming.”

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

“I plan to gradually raise the price as I ship new content and features.”

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

“A Discord will be made available to exchange with the community. Reviews and feedback will obviously be a gold mine for the development phase. Time will be dedicated each week to reading and moderating posts. The maximum will be done to respond as best as possible without impacting the time spent developing the game.”
