Why Early Access?

“I want to make the game as fun as it can be, and I believe working directly with community feedback is the best way to make that happen. Early Access provides the opportunity to grow and involve the community as the game develops, allowing me to prioritize what people are enjoying most and fix things they aren't.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Currently the plan is approximately 12 months from Early Access to Release.”

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

“The full version is planned to feature a complete gameplay loop around each pillar of the game (Create, Explore, Trade, Battle). I plan to enter Early Access with the basics of each pillar and then refine them throughout Early Access with regular content and feature updates.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Right now the game is in a Creative-mode singleplayer state with free form building mechanics and a procedural asteroid field. You can start experimenting with the building and movement mechanics, as well as designing space ships, space stations, and asteroid bases.”

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

“I plan to gradually raise the price as new content and features are shipped.”

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

“I have relied heavily on community involvement in previous projects and feel it is invaluable to have that active feedback loop. I intend to use the game's Discord server as the primary way to involve the community, and there is also a feedback form built into the game. Players are encouraged to suggest features or changes, and report any issues found. I want to engage directly with players over chat, posts, and polls.”
