Why Early Access?

“Making a Game is a lengthy Process, especially if you are only 1 Person working on the Game.
I want to give People the Opportunity to play Dark Skies 2 early so they can give feedback and influence the future Game directly. This worked great in Dark Skies 1 and I decided to go the early access route again.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Dark Skies 2 will be in Early Access for about 2-3 Years. This Highly depends on the Feedback the game is getting. It also depends on how much time I have to work on the game.”

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

“The Final game should be well balanced, fully working and have a complete storyline.
All the Feedback gathered in the Early Access Phase will play into account of the final Product.
The Game has 12 playable Levels at Early Access Launch and features 19 different Weapons.
My goal is to have more than 20 Levels and at least 30 Weapons when the Game leaves Early Access.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The Current Early Access Version has 12 Levels finished and is fully playable.
There may be bugs, glitches and crashes. I have done my best to ensure a stable gaming experience right at the start. but I have only 1 Computer so there might be Issues appearing on other systems. Thats why Early Access will help sorting them out.”

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

“There are plans for a slight increase in price, when the final game is done.
The Price should be about 30% higher than currently.”

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

“The Community can use Steam discussion boards, email adress and other ways to contact me personally. I will read everything and do my best to fix bugs and work on this Game to make it stable and complete.”
