Why Early Access?

“We’re launching in Early Access because we believe it’s the best way to build a game of this scope—from the bridge of a flagship, commanding a fleet, exploring a galaxy - while staying flexible and responsive. An Early Access launch allows us to involve the community early, gather real player feedback on core systems such as fleet management, difficulty balance, mission flow, and the VR experience. It helps us validate design paths, improve performance and stability across the different modes of play, and iterate rapidly before the full launch.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We don’t want to lock ourselves into a rigid timeline, especially given the ambition of the project (open world, fleet RTS in VR, multiple game modes). However, our internal plan is to have around 12-18 months in Early Access, with key milestones (major feature sets) spaced out. We plan to provide regular public updates and refine the roadmap as we go. If things progress smoothly, we may shorten it; if major new mechanics emerge in scope, it might stretch. The important part is the quality and completeness of the full version, not an arbitrary date.”

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

“For the full version, we plan to expand and polish significantly:

- Cross-platform multiplayer, both PvP and Co-op experiences
- A wider selection of ships and equipment for more diverse and fun fleet builds
- Enhanced narrative/missions, more varied mission-types and procedurally generated events
- Additional polish: audio, visuals, cinematic moments, localization, QA, bug-fixing, balance.

Early Access will focus on fixing bugs, and expanding depth through more missions, ships, factions, and progression systems. It’s already an enjoyable, immersive experience - there is just more to add.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“In Early Access, the player will get core functionality: commanding a flagship, managing fleets, basic missions, open-world exploration, mining/trading, and basic conquest mode.

The core combat systems and main game modes - Gauntlet, Open World, and Endless - are complete and fully playable. The game is stable, feature-rich, and represents the intended experience, though there’s still room to grow.

In short: the Early Access version gives the foundation and core gameplay. The full planned version completes the vision, adding depth and polish.”

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

“No - we expect the price will remain the same through Early Access into Full Release.”

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

“We hope to actively engage with players through frequent (often daily) updates, open discussion on Discord, and by answering questions and feedback on the Steam forums. Community input will directly shape balance changes, new content priorities, and feature improvements throughout Early Access.”
