Ensure Stability: Perfect the Backend integration for logging chats and EVENTS, ensuring seamless interactivity.

Millä tavoin lopullinen versio tulee eroamaan Early Access -versiosta?

The Early Access version of Nexus Wars (Version 0.0.2) is a text-based survival odyssey focused on Frames, loops, and a hostile galaxy. The full version envisions a vastly expanded scope based on a multi-stage future plan, adding new gameplay styles and depth while keeping specifics flexible. Here’s how it could evolve:

Stage 2 Additions: Plans include shifting to an auto-battler format where players command mech armies, introducing 240 units across the 9 factions with diverse skills. Strategic PvP encounters and dynamic, player-driven storylines could enrich the tactical experience.

Space Combat Expansion: The vision includes action-oriented space battles with ship control, customization, and solar system territory management, offering a fresh layer of progression and combat beyond the current ground-level survival.

World-Building Enhancements: Future stages aim to deepen immersion with faction-specific lobbies, robust character creation, and customization. Integrating RPG and FPS elements could add personal engagement and action to the narrative-driven loops.

Cosmic Mystery & Collaboration: The "Calamity of Eternal Wars" stage might explore dark, alien forces in a Souls-like challenge, set in impossible realms. Players could unite across factions to face these threats, blending cooperation with retro-style storytelling.

Live Service Scope: The full vision sees Nexus Wars as an evolving universe, mixing strategy, RPG/FPS, and space combat, all tied to community engagement for a uniquely retro yet expansive narrative experience.

The Early Access version is a raw, text-based foundation. The full version aspires to a broader, multi-genre galaxy—strategy, action, and mystery interwoven—without locking in exact features or timelines. It’s a journey we hope to craft with player input!

Mikä on Early Access -version tila tällä hetkellä?

The Early Access version of Nexus Wars (Version 0.0.2), as of March 15, 2025, is a text-based, narrative-driven survival experience set in a gritty, 6970-year-advanced galaxy. Here’s its current state:
Core Gameplay: Players inhabit Frames (synthetic, clone, or bio-engineered bodies) trapped in a 24-hour mind-swap loop via the HyperNet. Each loop starts with dire danger, requiring immediate survival decisions, followed by exploration and mystery-solving. The GAME MASTER AI challenges players with perilous choices, hostile encounters, and a chance-driven system using #Attributes#, @Traits
@, and %Skills%.

Factions: Features 9 playable factions (e.g., The Guild, Reapers Swarm), each with unique lore and starting contexts, plus 2 evil NPC factions (AruKai, Vrag) and 1 neutral (Rohar Empire), shaping a dynamic galaxy.

Mechanics: Includes character creation (name, citizenship, gender, race), a success chance system (e.g., #Dexterity: 5# = 50% base, modified by Traits/Skills), and progression via $Sols (currency). Loops reset on death or after 24 hours, carrying over stats.

State: Fully functional as a single-player, text-based experience with Database logging for chats and EVENTS. It’s raw and intense, focusing on survival and the HyperNet mystery, but lacks the broader features (e.g., auto-battler, space combat, RPG/FPS) planned for future stages.

Polish: Minimalist—cinematic yet brutal narratives rely on text, with no visual or audio elements yet. The focus is on testing core loop mechanics and storytelling.

It’s a foundational release, offering a relentless sci-fi odyssey ready for player feedback to shape its evolution!

Muuttuuko pelin hinta Early Access -vaiheen jälkeen?

Yes, we plan to increase the price for each expansion of Nexus Wars. The Early Access version (0.0.2) starts at an introductory rate, reflecting its current text-based survival scope. As we roll out new content and features—like auto-battler mechanics, space combat, and RPG/FPS elements—the price will rise to match the growing depth and experience. This gradual increase rewards early supporters while aligning with the game’s expanding universe!
