Coming Soon To Early Access

The developers of this game intend to release as a work in progress, developing with the feedback of players.

What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“We have grand plans for Space Scum. Whilst we'd love to have every feature, system and bit of content ready for the initial launch, realistically we need to release the game and add to it over a period of time. That's not to say the game won't be vast at EA launch - we'll have different planets, races, a huge array of weapons, armour and other equipment, to mention but a few. This also provides us with a great opportunity to act on feedback we receive from the community. ”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Around 12 months.”

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

“We plan to expand content and systems massively as well as continue to polish and refine what we already have. Ultimately we want to end up with a huge procedurally generated galaxy, with a massive range of interesting and diverse places, people, equipment, quests, starting backgrounds and events for players to experience.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The Early Access version already contains a large amount of weapons and equipment, multiple planet types, space travel, an upgradeable rover for your crew, and a large amount of written content. This should already provide for players the opportunity for multiple playthroughs and different playstyles. ”

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

“We currently plan to increase the price for 1.0 after we've shipped all the new content and features.”

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

“We will continue to involve the community - we are already active on Steam and our discord server and have arranged multiple playtests to gather feedback. This will continue to be the case.”

About This Game

“We’re not the heroes of our story, but we will be the ones to tell it…”

Space Scum is a tactical, turn-based RPG, set across multiple procedurally generated planets, ensuring no playthrough is the same - though they all exist in the same gritty, Sci-Fi universe. You’ll choose your own custom origin and encounter different environments, enemy types, factions and missions, all based on where you go and what you choose to do. Of course, when all the choices are yours, so are the consequences…

The brutal worlds of Space Scum take no prisoners, and you’re not expected to either. Recruit your team and keep them alive long enough to gain experience and level up - because if any of your mercenaries fall in battle, they’ll be gone for good. So make sure you invest wisely in who’ll be coming with you as you build up your rep, and who’ll be getting left behind…

Make the most of the wide array of weaponry and defensive options across your combat encounters. Whether you want a squadmate to specialize in melee combat, ranged weapons, or more tactical support like shields, hacking and the use of turrets, the choice is yours. And while you might start with the more common ballistic ranged and simple melee weapons, you’ll soon find yourself moving onto more exotic fare like laser rifles, energy shields and more…

Between winning in combat and completing missions, you’ll earn valuable experience, spoils of war and rewards. All of which are spent getting new gear, hiring new mercs, and unlocking new skills for each member of your team, with the aim of building the ultimate Mercenary Company.  And of course, making sure that the biggest, baddest foe out there in the ‘verse…is you.
