Why Early Access?

“We want to launch ASTRO COMPANY in Early Access to gather feedback on balance, new content, and progression systems. The core loop is already playable and fun, but tower defense games depend heavily on fine-tuned difficulty and variety. Community input will help us expand towers, cards, enemies, and meta-progression in the right direction.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We expect 6–12 months of Early Access. This timeframe allows us to add new towers, cards, enemies, bosses, and polish the progression systems while reacting to community feedback.”

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

“We plan to expand the game with:
More towers with unique mechanics
A larger pool of upgrade cards, including legendary transformations
Additional enemy types, elites, and bosses
Expanded meta-progression and permanent upgrades
Improvements to AI and pathfinding
More achievements, polish, and balance updates”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The Early Access version already contains:
Endless gameplay loop with waves of enemies
Core building mechanics (build only between waves, Processing Units, Miners, AI Core system)
Basic set of towers and economy structures
Dozens of upgrade cards, including rare and legendary ones
Escalating waves with asteroids, ships, and one boss encounter
Achievements, leaderboards, and permanent meta-progression foundation

It’s a complete game loop, but with fewer content options than we plan for the full release.”

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

“Yes. We plan to launch at an accessible price during Early Access.
As we add more content, features, and polish, we may gradually increase the price after leaving Early Access.”

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

“We will actively collect feedback through Steam Discussions, our Discord server, and a dedicated Google Form where players can easily submit bug reports, suggestions, and ideas.

This way we can:
Quickly track bugs and issues
Gather ideas for new towers, cards, and upgrades
Let players vote on balance changes
Share progress and roadmap updates transparently”
