What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“While Space Game is a fun and polished game there is still a lot of potential yet to be reached. I plan to add more items, NPCs, and worldbuilding by utilizing your feedback in combination with the hopeful addition of chapters to Space Games main storyline. To make the game's mechanics feel deeper and the world more lively it will take time and I hope you will join in on the process.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“The game is planned to be in early access for around 1 year before the official 1.0 release of the game.”

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

“The plan for the full release of the game will include a branching storyline, unlike the early access version, which consists solely of an open world. We also plan to update the open world with more content, like random NPC missions and more variety in the armor, stores, and collectibles.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The current state of the game includes the ability to collect resources, explore the world, and engage in combat. For the resource collection in the game, there is a simple inventory system where you can read the description of each item that you pick up. For world exploration, there are different types of asteroids that you can find, as well as ship wreckage sites, where there are NPCs that can spawn, which you can talk to and get a better understanding of the world. Finally for the combat in the game, there is the ability to destroy any ship with corresponding consequences including having the police chase and attack you.”

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

“The game will have one price increase after leaving early access, but until then, the price will stay the same.”

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

“I plan to release monthly updates, with some smaller updates sprinkled in between to fix bugs and tweak values. You will be able to get involved by having a large say on what the monthly updates will look like. By having the game in early access you will be able to play and discuss your thoughts on old, and new systems on our community page giving me more information about how people are playing the game and what is not working. I also plan on releasing more devlogs about the game on my YouTube channel where you can get a closer look on how the game is being developed and give feedback in the comments.”

About This Game

You are stranded with a spaceship, a full tank of fuel, and 100 bullets. You must use the resources that you have to learn more about the world and its inhabitants. Space Game has rogue-like components where items don't get saved between runs, and sandbox components where there are no specific objectives. Each time you play you will be thrown into a newly generated region where you must use your knowledge of the game to survive, and space is not a friendly place.

              

You will run into multiple factions throughout your journey, the biggest two being the Pirates and the Federation. Your actions will affect your relationships with these factions as you play, so make sure not to make too many enemies.

 Your reputation status is visible as you play so you can learn what affects it or not.

              

In Space Game the world is procedurally generated and infinitely large, and as you explore you will find singular broken ships which can be destroyed for extra loot. If you explore enough you can find more than just one ship but a whole wreckage site. That wreckage site tells a story of what is happening in the world and what has come before you. If you are lucky enough that wreckage site can spawn with an NPC that you can talk to, telling a story about what happened there.

              

As you progress further into the game you will collect more and more items called Collectibles which can be seen in your inventory and inspected to be read about. Similarly to the wreckage sites these descriptions will tell you more about the world you are in, and maybe even give you hints towards what the items are used for.

              

Combat in Space Game is mostly straight forward where shooting is in the direction that you are facing, and to be more precise with the direction that you shoot in, swapping between two directions as you shoot will go between. There is a melee option but it is not lethal, letting you stun the enemy for a short amount of time stopping them from moving or shooting if sprinted into. The enemy have different navigation patterns ranging from directly following you, to circling you like a shark.
