Why Early Access?

“We’ve chosen Early Access because Ecliptica is an ambitious project that requires both time and community involvement to fully develop. We want to deliver a rich, open-world colony survival experience with a player-driven economy, and Early Access allows us to test and refine these systems with feedback from real players. Our goals are to continue developing the game, implement additional features, and gradually move towards a final release that will reflect the community's input.

We’re committed to listening to our players and actively working on improving the game with every update. We understand the responsibility that comes with Early Access, and we're dedicated to completing the project and keeping players informed about the development process.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We plan to keep the game in Early Access for at least one year, but this may change depending on the scope of development and player feedback.”

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

“The current version contains the core mechanics of colony and corporation survival. In the future, we plan to expand the world with more diverse NPC factions, additional locations and challenges, and more complex interactions with the planet’s biosphere. We're also exploring the possibility of adding multiplayer features and colony governance systems.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Currently, Ecliptica includes the core mechanics of colony and corporation management, set within a procedurally generated open world. The dynamic economy system is functional, allowing players to trade and manage resources, while NPC factions interact with the world and create their own corporations.

The game is still in its early stages, with further expansion planned. The current focus is on refining the foundational systems and gathering player feedback to guide the development of more complex features such as additional factions, new locations, and expanded biomes.

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

“We plan to gradually raise the price as we ship new content and features.”

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

“Community feedback is vital to our development process, and we actively encourage players to share their thoughts and ideas. We plan to provide regular updates, bug fixes, and quality-of-game improvements based on player suggestions. Players can expect to see new features and content added to the game regularly.

We actively monitor community forums, social media, and Steam discussions, and are committed to listening and adapting to the input we receive.”
