早期アクセスにした理由

“Good question! I (ashtorak) have been developing this mostly by myself for three years now, constantly improving and expanding it. This will continue for as long as you support the development. So, while it never will be really finished, it's listed as early access right now as even the most basic features are very rough still or missing, like there is no tutorial or proper gamepad support. When this basic stuff is in, it will be marked as released, but development will go on of course.
The main goal is, that the game should be accessible enough to someone who doesn't know anything about the topic or who does know about it, but doesn't play much games, that they do not give up after a couple of minutes.”

大体どのくらいの期間このゲームを早期アクセスにする予定ですか？

“Roughly 69 weeks.
(I don't know exactly, but I had to put some number. For sure it will take a while.)”

早期アクセスバージョンと計画されているフルバージョンの違いは？

“There should be some sort of orbit around a spherical Earth, maybe with direct flight to Moon. Probably not Mars as it is too far away, and then Moon and Mars landing in any case and some ground based stuff there, depending on whatever happens in reality.”

早期アクセスバージョンの現状はどうなっていますか？

“There is just one map right now, which is Starbase, and kind of a fake earth which gives the impression that you can go to space.
With every Starbase device you can move around freely as everything is physics driven.
You can drive from Build Site to Launch Site with booster and ship and stack them at Launch Site with Mechazilla, also in multiplayer without much problems.
You can launch, hot stage, return to launch site and catch booster and ship. The latter is a little tricky though currently, but will be improved in the future. Also, while flying (or moving at higher velocities in general), multiplayer is very laggy for physics objects. This is not easy to fix and I am currently waiting for more Unreal Engine updates that make it easier to tackle this.”

早期アクセス期間中と期間後ではゲームの価格は変わりますか？

“The price will go up continuously over time as more features are added, also during early access.”

コミュニティは開発プロセスにどのように関わることができますか？

“You can comment anywhere, X, Discord, YouTube with feedback and suggestions. I will read it all and might even respond sometimes! :)
There is also a bug / issue / suggestion / feature tracker now, where you can vote on issues and features and suggest new features: https://starbasesim.com/tracking”
