Wozu Early Access?

„Nightshift Galaxy is a arcade-mecha-battler, which is a good fit for an iterative development process where I can get feedback from players about the direction to take loadouts, arenas, and enemy types. Additionally, as a solo-developer, the opportunity to get real feedback while also building a community creates a virtuous cycle.“

Wie lange wird dieses Spiel ungefähr den Early Access-Status haben?

„I'm thinking a solid year with regular updates.“

Wie soll sich die Vollversion von der Early Access-Version unterscheiden?

„For early access I want to create more of a sandbox that players can play-around in and experiment. For the full version, I'd like to add more curated gameplay and narrative framing, as well as polish the art and music.“

Was ist der derzeitige Stand der Early Access-Version?

„Core combat is implemented with three playable characters:

• A transforming robot/jet that acts as a balanced choice.
  
• A wall-crawling spider tank with heavy weapons.
  
• An acrobatic, high-speed glass-cannon fighter.

There are also three intial maps, featuring unique environmental features:

• Changing Gravity / Zero Gravity
  
• Rail-Shooter Sections
  
• Level-Scale Interactive Mecha & Spaceships

Lastly, there's a basic set of customizable weapons/equipment, and wave-spawned enemy types.“

Wird dieses Spiel während und nach Early Access unterschiedlich viel kosten?

„Comparing the limited scope of the early-access sandbox to a content-rich full release, I would expect to raise the price for the full-version.“

Wie werden Sie versuchen die Community in den Entwicklungsprozess miteinzubeziehen?

„I stream development openly on twitch and solicit discussion on a dedicated discord.“
