Why Early Access?

“Hustle Together is already a fun space fantasy capitalism sandbox universe to explore and exploit. Almost all of the gameplay mechanics have been implemented. However, difficulty, progression, and balance are mostly guesswork, and there aren't many friendly NPCs to meet and interact with. The early access community will find some overpowered or useless items, solar systems that don't always make sense, and limited quests and story implementation. With their feedback, Hustle Together can focus more on gameplay mechanics that the players enjoy most, and maybe add a few more that they're asking for”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“12 to 18 months”

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

“The full version is planned to have a larger, fuller universe with more crafted levels, better generated levels, more NPCs, quests, and interactions. More weapons, more upgrades, more gamemodes are also planned, but the development focus will be on adding characters, adding story, and balancing the massive arsenal of weapons and upgrades already in the game. Also, an improved and more complete sound palette is planned. Some improvements to visual fidelity might occur, but development will always remain gameplay first.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Hustle Together is playable and fun with 20 levels, and over 100 upgradeable weapons, but important features are still in their infancy, including trade, mining, the tutorial, quests, and capital ships. Only a few of the crafted levels are complete, with the remainder being randomly generated with escalating difficulty and opportunity parameters.”

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

“The price will gradually increase as the game matures.”

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

“The developer wants YOUR feedback on the Hustle Together Discord Server! Show off weapon builds, complain about balance, report bugs, and demand new features. An editor is also planned for interested community members to put their own spin on the Hustle Together concept, creating custom solar systems, shops, bots, weapons and more.”
