Why Early Access?

“I would like to get the community involved and get feedback.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“1 year”

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

“More machines, recipes, customers, biomes are planned.
I would love to add challenge "dungeons" where you can gather rare items.
While this won't be a multiplayer game, I still would love to have some interaction between players. Think of a delivery truck where you can dump items in and other players can receive them.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“You can walk around, jump, duck. Set rotation to snap or smooth.
You have rigged hands that grab items dynamically, and adjust to surfaces, so it feels really nice touching items.
You can unlock the merchant. He will sell you all sorts of machines:
- Checkout (so customers can order items)
- Rubbish bin (destroys items, not machines)
- Floating Shelf (handy to gather items and place near machines to have ingredients handy)
- Slushy machine, cup dispenser (used to craft slushys)
- Normal display shelf (put items on it, customers will want to buy them)
- Cooled display shelf (used for items that need to be cooled, e.g. slushys)
- Grill, gas bottle charger, gas bottle (used to grill items)
You can unlock mushroom biome, it will provide new items:
- Mushroom seeds (great for slushys)
- Snails (their meat goes great on the grill and in slushys, yikes)
Game load and save is 90% implemented. Remaining task: Items do not snap in their place points in machines after load, which is currently in dev. Shelves of course work fine.
There is no story implemented yet. Just that gramps left you that asteroid.
Main focus is on interactive elements, rather than story.
Music and Sound FX are missing. Only placement sounds are in there so player get feedback that everything is ok.”

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

“The game will become more and more expensive the more features are added.
That way early adopters are rewarded and late comers get great value.”

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

“There is a discord server which is used to communicate with the community.
You can actively talk to the dev (who reads comments daily) and other players, giving you the opportunity to shape this game.
Of course you can also interact with us on this games steam discussion board.”
