Varför 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.”

Ungefär hur länge kommer det här spelet att vara i Early Access?

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

Hur är det tänkt att den fullständiga versionen ska skilja sig från versionen i Early Access?

“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.”

Hur är det nuvarande läget i versionen med Early Access?

“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.”

Kommer spelet att prissättas annorlunda under och efter Early Access?

“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.”

Hur planerar ni att involvera gemenskapen i er utvecklingsprocess?

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