Coming Soon To Early Access

The developers of this game intend to release as a work in progress, developing with the feedback of players.

Note: Games in Early Access are not complete and may or may not change further. If you are not excited to play this game in its current state, then you should wait to see if the game progresses further in development. Learn more

What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“Players feedback will help me shape the content of the game and adjust the systems by playing each update of the game. New releases during EA will normally come in a one to two week basis.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“I expect the game to be in EA for 6 to 12 months.”

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

“The base systems will be adjusted, the game will have a better balance and it will have more content (in the shape of enemies, ships, upgrades, etc). It might also include new systems.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Game is not yet in EA but there is a public demo and a private playtest.”

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

“Yes, the game price will be lower during EA and will be increased on full release. Since it is a small game the difference will not be huge but for example could go from 6.99 to 9.99.”

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

“In terms of tools, both Discord and the Steam Community are going to be used. In terms of the game, the idea is to shape the content and adjust the systems of the game based on community and my original vision of the game.”
