BONUS Purchase Early Access for Episode 1 and include a Free future Key to continue in Episode 2

We believe we’ve created something really special here, and we want your input to take ARM Planetary Prospectors to the next level. As we continue to improve and support ARM: PP into the future and beyond, with future episodes.


What is the current state of the Early Access version?
The core gameplay is there, although the player is imprisoned aboard a Mining Barge, and has to mine and craft a way to freedom. Players can also currently pilot Mining Repair Rescue Mechs in a realistic space-mining simulator that is focused on fun, and not just click and mine. Space mining is a very dangerous and risky job, and there are many things that can go wrong and hidden dangers lurking in the unknown.

Will the game is priced differently during and after Early Access?
Yes. ARM Planetary Prospectors is currently discounted for Early Access, as we are adding more content bi-weekly. We want to encourage and reward our early adopters and contributors with digital and physical rewards.

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?
Community support will be the backbone to the success of ARM Planetary Prospectors We want to hear your thoughts on the game so we can make improvements during Early Access while we still have time to significantly improve the game.

We’ve integrated an idea and bug report tool into the game, which allows us to track the number of contributions any community member makes. We want to thank our contributors with well-deserved rewards!

The community is encouraged to connect with us via our website and social media as well if they’d like to learn more about NDiG, the game itself, and keep informed about our updates:

Like us on Facebook, and Follow us on Twitter, we will be giving reward points, for the Community sharing on social media. The more success we have, the better we can make the final version.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“The plan currently is to make ARM great enough to win some awards, then it will be finally released once it's finished. Once the release of the first episode one, NDiG will then begin releasing the following episodes. Although we plan to keep it in early access until it's polished and ready to ship. Currently, it is still in Pre-Alpha state, and working with the community, to complete an alpha that is fun, and what the Community wants.

We are also started planning a Kickstarter for the iOS/Android cross-platform Companion game that will have Cross-Platform Multiplayer with ARM Planetary Prospectors”

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

“The final release of "Episode One" will include procedurally generated "near infinite" open-world multiverse, destructible environments, simulated Newtonian physics, component system damage, and much more. Players will "Choose their own Adventure" as they find ways to try to break free from the Mining Barge Prison. They will meet enemies and friends along the way, as they come together to earn or find a clever way to escape, or work of the debt as a slave Asteroid Mech Miner. The newly added prologue helps explain the origins of our characters and tells a unique story and custom interactive experience.

After the final version, we will work to bring a Multiplayer experience, where friends can join in and help collect minerals. Later on, once mass amounts of minerals are collected, we will add a module that will allow Player, to design, craft and construct their own mining colonies, refineries, and set up defensive fortifications. Explore, Prospect, Mine, and Survive against rival mining corporations, pirates, bounty hunters, and atrocious aliens.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The game is currently in Alpha PvA (Asteroids) (PvE) form with additional episodes, new tools, new mechs/spacecraft, more branching stories and additional planets to be added over time.

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

“We will discuss content and features with the Early Access community and see where they can help us make changes or implement their ideas. We are not a secretive gaming company, we want to be open and transparent with the community and have them involved in our development process. After all, we are making this game for the Community and not just for ourselves.
