Mikä on Early Access -version tila tällä hetkellä?

Escape from Andromeda is an overhead 2D sci-fi spaceship looter shooter based in a procedurally generated galaxy. In Escape from Andromeda, every planet is a level, and every star is a part of your story.

The game is currently in an Alpha state. I am still adding new features.
Features currently in the game:
-A new procedurally generated galaxy is created on each new save
-All ships and weapons are procedurally generated
-Intense, top-down ship to ship combat influenced by planet heat (based on closeness to the system star), procedural weapon and ship variety, asteroids, and miniboss events.
-Complex block-based damage system factoring in projectile type, size, and speed
-Different ship pieces hold different traits, such as more/less speed, more/less HP
-Solar system seeds that determine planet size/color and enemy equipment/behavior
-Breakable asteroids that serve as obstacles and cover
-Space station invasions with procedurally placed turrets, ships and minibosses
-Ship and weapon marketplaces with procedurally generated assets
-The ability to change ships and weapons
-Special abilities based on race
-End-match loot with multiple different weapon rarities
-A player character with clothing color customization

Muuttuuko pelin hinta Early Access -vaiheen jälkeen?

Miten yhteisö otetaan mukaan kehitysprosessiin?

I plan on involving the community in the development process of this game by implementing player suggested adjustments to gameplay mechanics and bugfixes for bugs reported by players.
This will change the direction of the game by making mechanics more enjoyable for the audience.
