Proč předběžný přístup?

„While the core gameplay and systems of Steel Swarm: Apocalypse are already functional, Early Access gives us the opportunity to shape the game's future with direct input from players. It allows us to balance XBTs and abilities based on real match data, fine-tune map pacing, combat flow, and team roles, and build and test key systems like Ranked Mode, Battle Pass, and seasonal structures. It also helps us prioritize the features players care about most whether that’s new skins, controller support, or entirely new game modes. Our demo phase has been successfully completed, and we plan to fully launch the game once we reach a total of 20 playable XBTs.“

Přibližně jak dlouho bude tato hra v předběžném přístupu?

„We expect to stay in Early Access for approximately 12 to 18 months. This timeframe may shift depending on the feedback we receive, the pace of content development, and the balance adjustments needed. Our goal is to ensure that the core gameplay, ranked systems, and all planned features are fully polished before the full launch.“

V jaké fázi vývoje se hra nachází?

„The Early Access version is fully playable, with all core gameplay systems active and functional. Players can choose from over 8 unique XBTs and engage in PvP matches. Casual match mode, training zones, missions, and in-game rewards are already implemented. Full gamepad support, Steam Deck compatibility, and various technical optimizations are also included in this version. However, some systems are still under development, and the content pool is not yet at the scale planned for the full release. You can enjoy the game as it stands and actively contribute to its development.“

Změní se cena hry po skončení předběžného přístupu?

„Steel Swarm: Apocalypse will be completely free to play during Early Access and after full release. Our monetization model is based solely on optional cosmetic items and DLCs. We will never sell competitive advantages (no pay to win) all gameplay-related content will remain fully accessible for free.“

Jak plánujete zapojit komunitu do vývoje této hry?

„During our demo phase, we actively used our Discord server, Steam forums, and social media channels to collect feedback from hundreds of players and that input directly shaped game balance, mechanics, and UX improvements. We plan to continue this approach throughout Early Access with regular surveys, playtests, and community-driven patch notes.“
