Why Early Access?

“This game is a student project encapsulating the culmination of all of our work throughout our educational journey. However, because of this, it will need to be released in a state not fulfilling our vision of a "full and complete" experience. You may encounter bugs and unfinished gameplay conducive to a student project under a strict deadline with minimal external playtesters, or areas not necessarily representative of our degree field and therefore were a lower priority during development.
We are committed to resolving any bugs or issues encountered by players as well as adding content relating to new mission types, enemies, and improving existing systems based on player feedback.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We will hopefully be able to exit early access before the end of 2026.”

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

“We want to add more on-ship features, missions, and many more enemy types. We also want to improve the experience of many of the existing systems once we have more development time.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“We believe that our game is an enjoyable experience that offers adequate replayability and minimal issues to impede play. However, we have a lot of features that were not able to make the cut and were scrapped, and some additional systems that had to be molded around these cut features. Some gameplay areas are slightly "feature-sparse" and may or may not (but hopefully) be more fully featured at a later date.
For a description of features currently fully implemented into the game, you may refer to the game description.”

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

“We plan to leave free-to-play at a later date once we believe the game is in a finished state. If this happens the game will likely be priced very low.”

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

“We need playtesters to find bugs. We need playtesters to find areas we can improve in. We need playtesters to tell us what is fun and what isn't.
This game has been a labor of love from us for months and therefore our perception of some features may be skewed as we were the ones that poured hours into creating it. We need people to tell us facts and unbiased opinions. Please, leave feedback in steam community posts and your reviews and we WILL read it, but also realize that we may be in a position where we cannot implement your idea, regardless of how good it is; and be nice about it too (please?).”
