Why Early Access?

“We, the Ukrainian studio Berko Games, believe that the best games are created in close collaboration with players. Jitter is an ambitious sci-fi project about survival, exploration, and controlling a ship's AI. We designed the game with Early Access in mind so that the community can help us balance complex systems, such as the fully destructible environment, ship module management, and crew survival. Your feedback is critical to turning Jitter into a complete and deep experience.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We will exit Early Access when we and the players agree that the game has the necessary quality and content for the final release. Our driver is quality, not just a date. However, we expect this stage to last approximately until the end of 2026. This period will be dedicated to final refinement, balancing all mechanics, and filling the game with content alongside our community.”

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

“We plan to include:

- A full story campaign that reveals the whole truth behind your mission and the colony.

- More unique modules for customizing your ship and base.

- Expanded meta-progression systems for the AI, allowing you to choose a unique development "path."

- Additional locations to explore and new enemy types.

- Full support for Steam services, including achievements.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The Early Access version will contain the core gameplay loop: AI simulation, ship modification, open space combat, and the first chapters of the story campaign. Players will be able to:

- Experience the first chapter of the story campaign.

- Explore a significant portion of the mining colony and its outskirts.

- Experiment with our unique environmental destruction system.

- Manage the ship's vital functions (oxygen, power, repairs).

- Rebuild and modify their ship using various modules.

- All the core mechanics that make Jitter unique are already functional and will be refined with every update.”

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

“Yes. We plan to increase the price once the game exits Early Access and transitions to the full 1.0 release. By purchasing the game now, you are not only supporting development but also getting it at the lowest price.”

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

“The community is the cornerstone of our process. We will actively gather feedback through:

- Steam Forums (Discussions).

- The official Discord server (link is on the store page).

We will regularly post updates, patch notes, and ask players to test experimental features. Your input on balance, new modules, and mechanics will help us shape the final vision for Jitter.”
