Why Early Access?

“As a solo developer, I want to work closely with the community to shape Dynasty Protocol into the ultimate space RTS experience. Early Access allows me to gather valuable feedback from players and implement features that truly enhance gameplay. Your input will directly influence the game's evolution, from balance adjustments to new strategic elements that make each playthrough unique.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Dynasty Protocol will remain in Early Access for approximately 6-8 months. This timeline allows for meaningful community feedback integration, additional content development, and comprehensive polish based on player experiences.”

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

“I plan to explore adding a crew morale system, additional upgrade options for colonies, and other enhanced gameplay mechanics that could reflect each colony's identity and technological approach. I'm also considering visual and gameplay enhancements, potential new mission content, and comprehensive polish based on community feedback. Additional quality-of-life improvements and balance refinements may be added throughout the Early Access period.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Dynasty Protocol's Early Access version is feature-complete with a robust core gameplay experience. It includes 20+ missions, 6 unique colonies with distinct super weapons, a comprehensive tutorial system, asteroid mining and logistics, technology research trees, colony management with taxation systems, trading mechanics, and AI battles. The game is fully playable from start to finish with deep strategic gameplay.”

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

“Yes, the price will increase when the game leaves Early Access. Early Access players will get the full version at a lower price as a thank you for supporting the development. The final price will reflect all the additional content, features, and polish added during the Early Access period.”

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

“Community feedback is central to Dynasty Protocol's development. I actively engage with players through Discord, Reddit, and Steam forums to discuss balance changes, feature requests, and gameplay improvements. Regular development updates will showcase how community suggestions are being implemented. Player feedback directly influences priority features, balance adjustments, and quality-of-life improvements.”
