Perché l'accesso anticipato?

“It is amazing to work with community! We are reading every suggestion and answering on your every question. Please feel free to join our Discord chat and ask or suggest whatever you want. The game in VERY active development, so follow our development blog for news.

Besides that, we are three friends and this is our first project. We are working on it without any starting budget and Early Access gives us an opportunity to work on our project without distractions.”

Per quanto tempo questo gioco rimarrà in accesso anticipato?

“It is hard to predict release date for the game with such unusual concept and complex features. Especially if it is our first project.

Earlier we announced a release date, but development took more time than we expected, so we decided to not announce any further release date if we are not sure about it.

Actually release date is irrelevant and does not mean that game will become "completed" instantly. We release update almost every week and the game become better and better with each update. Besides that, we are constantly adding new features in our to-do list. So the game may be interesting and playable even while it stated as "Early Access".”

Quali saranno le differenze fra la versione completa e quella in accesso anticipato?

“Since we released the game we made a lot of work. We added multiplayer, save/load, trade.
An interface, ship constructor and production system was redesigned several times.
Graphics was completely changed from 2D to 3D!

In full version, we are going to improve all existed features, but in addition we plan to add:

• Interaction with planets (gathering resources)
  
• Several different types of star/planetary systems (with moons or gas giants)
  
• More complex production system (not sure how exactly, we are going to discuss it with community)
  
• More complex crew system (also not sure, will discuss it with community).
  
• Heat system (necessity to use radiators to prevent overheat)
  
• More various modules, functional devices and weapons
  
• More types of procedural missions
  
• Solve all bugs, optimize performance and improve usability
  
• Overall improvements of game design, so the player will be able to slowly improve its technologies, fleet, encounter with stronger enemies and accomplish more complex procedural missions.

You may found more details in our to-do list”

Qual è lo stato attuale della versione in accesso anticipato?

“Currently the game in Alpha stage. To answer this question will be better just to show a list of things which you can do in the game right now:

What is not ready yet:
Since it is Alpha, the game have some bugs, however we fixing all bug reports as soon as possible.”

Il prezzo del gioco varierà durante e dopo l'accesso anticipato?

“The price will be slowly increased during development according to quality and amount of features and content.
Initial price of first Early Access release was 8$.

At current state, the game cost 11$. When we increased the price, we asked a community about this and it was approved. You can read more details in our blog here and here.

When all planned features will be implemented and all bugs will be fixed, after stable release, we plan to increase price up to 20 or 25$.
Therefore, during entire early access you can buy the game with discount!

Some developers set the price for early access higher than after release, making money on the thirsty players.
We are not going to do that!

Actually, people who participate in early access make a great assistance for developers. They are making bug reports and send their ideas that helps to make the game much better. And most importantly, their feedback is really important because they give us enthusiasm, which allows us to continue to develop the project!”

Come pensi di coinvolgere la Comunità durante il processo di sviluppo?

“For almost two years of development we are working with community very closely! A huge amount of work has been done largely thanks to our community!

We're consider any ideas from community and your ideas really can be implemented in the game. You shouldn't thinking "I have so cool idea which will make the game so great! But probably developers are to busy to listen me". We read everything what you wrote to us and we glad to any ideas which will help us to make the game better together!

We receiving a lot of suggestions and bug reports. We have a huge list of suggestions in our to-do list and all bug reports added in to-do list and solved as soon as possible.
