Чому дочасний доступ?

«As a solo developer, community feedback is not just helpful—it's everything. Early Access gives me a direct line to you, the players. I want to build Sky Scaffold alongside the people who play it, using your feedback to focus on what's most fun, fix what's broken, and guide the game's development.

The core of the game is here, but the potential is massive. By joining now, you get to help shape the future of the game, ensuring the final version is as deep, polished, and enjoyable as possible.»

Як довго гра буде у дочасному доступі?

«I am are targeting a full 1.0 release by the end of 2026.

This timeline gives me about a year to act on community feedback, roll out major content updates, add new features, and fully flesh out the game's universe. This is an estimate, of course—if amazing ideas come up that require more time, we'll keep the community updated. The goal is to release the best possible game, not just to hit a deadline.»

Чим повна версія гри буде відрізнятися від версії для дочасного доступу?

«My primary goal for a full release is to build a deeper and more dynamic universe. I plan to enhance the exploration experience by making planets more unique and interesting to discover. I'm also planning and designing ways to expand on core systems—including trade, exploration, and planetary management—to give players more meaningful choices and strategic depth.»

Який поточний стан версії для дочасного доступу?

«The Early Access version is a fully playable and stable game with the complete core gameplay loop.

From day one, you can:
• Start on a barren planet and establish your core industry.
• Drill for resources and automate your production lines.
• Begin the multi-stage terraforming process.
• Construct the massive Sky Scaffold to reach orbit.
• Expand into space to mine asteroids and discover new planets.
• Find Blueprints to make ships and build fleets to sweep new territory for industry.
• Build defense weapons to protect your investments from invasions.

All the core features that define the game are implemented. You'll be getting a solid experience right from the start. A few bugs and placeholder assets can be expected.»

Чи буде відрізнятися ціна гри протягом дочасного доступу та після його завершення?

«Yes. The price will be lower during Early Access.

I plan to increase the price for the full release to reflect the significant amount of new content and features added throughout the Early Access period. By buying early, you're getting the game at a discount and helping us fund its future development.»

Як ви плануєте залучати спільноту до розробки гри?

«I will be in communication with the community through several channels:
• Official Discord Server & Subreddit: These will be our main hubs for real-time discussion, sharing ideas, previewing upcoming features, and gathering feedback. I'll be active there every day.
• In-Game Feedback System: We're implementing a straightforward bug reporting and suggestion tool that sends feedback directly to me. No middleman—I'll see every report.
• Development Roadmaps: We will share our development plans and update them based on community input, so you always know what we're working on and what's coming next.»
