Miksi Early Access?

We believe Early Access is the ideal way to develop innovative games – by playing with players and listening to players.

Miten kauan peli tulee arviolta olemaan Early Access -vaiheessa?

We expect the Early Access phase to last between 6 to 12 months. However, we don't believe development on ToV will drastically slow down after release. The cycle we follow – play the game, listen to players, add features, fix bugs, repeat – is, in our experience, the only viable path for online games.

Millä tavoin lopullinen versio tulee eroamaan Early Access -versiosta?

During Early Access, we aim to grow and refine the game based on community feedback while continuing to implement planned features and fix bugs.

Planned additions include:
- More objectives – Explore, Exploit, and Exterminate will complement the existing Expand.
- Expanded Diplomacy – including more functional Alliances, more demanding and oppressive Suzerainties, neutral systems, and open systems.
- Strategic features – while we aim to keep core gameplay simple and elegant, we’re considering additions such as Doomsday Devices, Gas Clouds, Warp Gates, Jump Gates, Wormholes, and Scan Amplifiers.
- Localization into additional languages.
- Optional selection of primary and secondary campaign languages.

Mikä on Early Access -version tila tällä hetkellä?

Check the 'About This Game' section to see what the game offers in Early Access. We plan to build on this foundation with ongoing content and feature updates.

Muuttuuko pelin hinta Early Access -vaiheen jälkeen?

ToV is free to play and always will be. We are considering optional paid cosmetics and campaign customization features, but it's too early to share concrete details.

Miten yhteisö otetaan mukaan kehitysprosessiin?

All community members are welcome to share feedback, reports, comments, and suggestions. We plan to focus on the most effective communication channels:
- Our Discord server
- The Steam Community Hub
Both will receive prioritized attention from the developers.
