Hvorfor tidlig tilgang?

«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.»

Hvor lenge antas det at dette spillet vil være i tidlig tilgang?

«I'm thinking a solid year with regular updates.»

Hvordan er det planlagt at fullversjonen skal være forskjellig fra versjonen i tidlig tilgang?

«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.»

Hva er nåværende tilstand for versjonen i tidlig tilgang?

«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.»

Vil spillet være priset annerledes under og etter tidlig tilgang?

«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.»

Hvordan planlegger dere å involvere samfunnet i utviklingsprosessen?

«I stream development openly on twitch and solicit discussion on a dedicated discord.»
