Why Early Access?

“Early Access will allow me to adjust game development process.
Game already has basic mechanics ready: building, collecting, sandbox mode, arcade mode.
DEMO version is ready ,so players can see what game is about.
Early access will allow me to add not yet firmly defined aspects of game and I have plenty of ideas.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“about 2 years”

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

“Full version will have:
- I plan to add plenty of content, meaning much more builds from which you create space ships
- I am considering creating advanced tutorial with plenty of lessons
Maybe I will add more features to game:
-more advanced tech tree/ maybe even randomized
-more enemies types: for now is 3
-idea of establishing builds on planets surface (resource bases, production lines)”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Currently version 0.5 has:
- sandbox mode - just build yours dream ship
- arcade mode - full game mode with enemies (possibility to load ship created in sandbox)
- unlimited 2d universe world space - with planetary systems, asteroids, comets
- building - players can build already spaceships from builds
- systems on ship - fully customized resource movement for specific systems: rocket, electric, oxygen generator etc.
- resource management/simulation is present
-load/save game is present
-load/save ships is present
-tutorial has 3 lessons
-enemy/wave system is present - enemies comes, actively search for Hero or his ship
-tech tree is present - and research is possible for skills and builds
- music melodies and sound effects”

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

“early access will be about 50% of full price”

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

“Feedback from community will be important part of developing future features.
Reporting bugs and just even overall comments will allow me to pave better path for game full release version. Feedback definitely will allow me to balance game, add or maybe remove some builds - for specific action in spaceship, add some game features.
If community will grow I will consider bigger suggestion: maybe modding of game.
I will monitor reviews after every update and consider suggestion.
Feedback also could be submitted to me by email: offcourseelementsofspace@gmail.com
I am solo developer and doing everything for game means wearing many hats:
coding, pixel art, music, gui design. Definitely community feedback will be very important in all those aspects of game.
I also hope community will be actively involved in creating game informative content: videos, game screenshots, tutorials, guides.”
