Wozu Early Access?

„I’ve chosen to launch my game in Early Access to make sure our players are an integral part of the development process. As a solo indie developer, I believe the community will be a crucial part of this game. I believe the inclusion of orbital mechanics will bring a lot of fun, but there’s a crucial challenge in balancing the difficulty and numerical design. I want to involve you, the players, in shaping these aspects and use your feedback to refine the experience.

The interplanetary mechanics framework is already in place, but I still need to fine-tune the numerical design for optimal gameplay (it should be balanced between "real" and “fun"). To make this process smoother, I provide a necessary debug tool (an sandbox tool), allowing you to offer more detailed input. Additionally, I’m still working on the main plot, and your feedback on the story would be invaluable to help guide its development.

Once the numerical design reaches a more solid state, I plan to introduce autonomous NPCs, as their functionality heavily depends on the game's numerical systems.

I’m excited to collaborate with you as we continue to build and improve the game. “

Wie lange wird dieses Spiel ungefähr den Early Access-Status haben?

„I plan to continue updating the game throughout Early Access. I aim to complete the numerical design by the end of this year, and the NPC system by the end of next year. Therefore, I expect the game to be in Early Access for approximately two years.“

Wie soll sich die Vollversion von der Early Access-Version unterscheiden?

„There are mainly three key differences:

• The main story plot
  
• Improved numerical design for the interplanetary game mechanics
  
• The autonomous NPC system

“

Was ist der derzeitige Stand der Early Access-Version?

„Currently, we have implemented all the basic mechanics, including orbital mechanics, asteroid scanning/drilling/mining, ore chemical reactions, research, and space station/spacecraft building, which together enable the space simulation experience.“

Wird dieses Spiel während und nach Early Access unterschiedlich viel kosten?

„I plan to gradually raise the price as we ship new content and features.“

Wie werden Sie versuchen die Community in den Entwicklungsprozess miteinzubeziehen?

„I will get your feedback mostly on steam discussion forum. Other social medium platform is yet to be determined.“
