What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

Setting forth on an adventure of cosmic proportions demands the united endeavors of a vast community of star-bound allies.
As we initiate our Early Access phase, we extend an invitation to you, the bold voyager of the stars, to partake in the crafting of this monumental odyssey’s ultimate boundaries. The precious feedback and perspectives you provide during this stage will be instrumental in refining our game, guaranteeing that its ultimate unveiling delivers an experience that transcends the celestial limits.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

We are targeting a 1.0 release at the beginning of 2025.
Balance for features is going to be key to a good game feel, and we want time to adjust.”

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

Game feel is the main focus of the Early Access phase.
While the core game will be in place from the beginning, having player feedback on the polish and juice of the game is something we thing the release product would benefit from.

Features to be Added During Early Access:
  • Ship Customization: Upgrade and personalize your spacecraft with advanced equipment, weapons, and defensive systems. Tailor your ship to your preferred playstyle, whether it's trading, combat, or exploration.
  • Captain Customization: We want the ability for captains to be a bit focused at the beginning of the game and grow deeper as time moves forward.

    Features Deepened During Early Access:
  • Game Feel: A big part will be the sound design, streamlining of menus, and available ships.

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The core game loop is present and rewarding to play.

Current State of Features:

While the "About This Game" contains the more expansive list, living the life of an spacefaring merchant is fully available in the current state.

Key Features Implemented:

  • Galaxy and Star System generation
  • Market Trading
  • Travel across the galaxy

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

“While we have not finalized the 1.0 release price of Epic Space Trader. The current plan is to gradually raise the price as we ship large new content and features. We want it to be fun and at an attractive price point.”

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

“We are committed to our players and listening to all feedback, ideas, and suggestions. We believe that combining all of these, with our vision of the game, we will truly create the greatest possible experience for players.”
