Waarom vroegtijdige toegang?

'I decided to put Galactic Prospectors into Early Access to give players the opportunity to already play the game in the course of development. This allows me to see what gameplay elements and features could benefit from further development, and what possibly needs to be changed, so that I can adapt development according to community feedback and needs. '

Hoelang blijft dit spel ongeveer in vroegtijdige toegang?

Hoe gaat de volledige versie verschillen van de versie met vroegtijdige toegang?

Wat is de huidige staat van de versie met vroegtijdige toegang?

'The current state of the Early Access version is what I would call Pre-Alpha. Current features include the ability to destroy Asteroids, which earn you (the player) money. Destroying enemy AI ships, which earns you Scrap. You can buy ships using Money and Scrap. The enemy AI will target both you, and Asteroids, and will also destroy Asteroids to get to you to try and destroy you. The game is built on it's own game engine (called Vyrex Engine), which has been created from scratch and is constantly expanding with every update. The game also has Steam Leaderboards integrated to allow for some competitiveness from other players in this early state.'

Zal het spel anders geprijsd worden tijdens en na vroegtijdige toegang?

'I don't plan to increase the price during Early Access. Once the game rolls out into full-release, the price may increase, but as of right now I don't have any plans to increase the price. By buying this game, you're buying into an evolving project, getting forever free updates for it, and getting me a coffee or something so I can continue working on it until late hours of the night. '

Hoe zijn jullie van plan de community te betrekken bij het ontwikkelproces?

'I plan to involve the community in the development process via the website, Discord, and through Steam. I would love to collaborate with and integrate things from the community into the game as well.'
