Why Early Access?

“As a complex multiplayer card game, Star Scum is constantly evolving as it's being played and we would love to open it up to players to join in the process as the rest of the planned features are being worked on. We hope that we can build a community that is passionate about the game and helping guide its direction towards the finish line.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We hope to be in Early Access for 6 months to a year.”

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

“We are planning to continue balancing the game, add many new cards, tighten up the game's enemy AI and add a few more game modes, such as a Challenges mode, a Hotseat local multiplayer mode and an AI Tournament mode, and keep refining the visuals and audio.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The game currently features a single player roguelike run with 230 cards where players build their deck and ship as they battle increasingly difficult AI opponents. The cards and ships unlocked in the roguelike run can be used to build decks for the other two modes currently in the game: a quick-play skirmish mode where you can battle customizable randomly generated decks and a multiplayer mode on a ranked server where you can battle other players.”

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

“The price will be higher when the game leaves Early Access.”

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

“There is currently a game Discord with a community of players, which serves as a hub for Early Access feedback. We would love to hear feedback regarding balancing, ideas and changes for the game's cards, ships and systems and would love to assist curious players in modding the game!”
