Perché l'accesso anticipato?

“As just two guys making the game, Stuffie and I (RexSpaceman) felt we had the core game premise done early on, but we needed outside feedback on what worked and what didn't. Early Access allows us to reach out and interact with the kind of players who wanted to play this kind of game, before its finished.

Space Impossible has been in Early Access for a while now, and it has been a great system so far. Many players have been with with the game since the very beginning, and they have made an immense impact on the course of development.”

Per quanto tempo questo gioco rimarrà in accesso anticipato?

“A while yet to come. We make no illusions to the speed of development, as Space Impossible entered Early Access on March 1 2016. With the latest release, we've been through 18 Alpha releases, and have entered into Beta. We do expect Beta to be briefer than Alpha, but it will still be some time before it reaches Release status.”

Quali saranno le differenze fra la versione completa e quella in accesso anticipato?

“Alpha development saw additions of core gameplay systems, like warping between star systems, a variety of weapon systems, ship and vessel building and more. Beta will see those systems fully fleshed out, as improvements to the AI, the amount and the quality of content is expanded and overall game balance is fine tuned.”

Qual è lo stato attuale della versione in accesso anticipato?

“The current state for Space Impossible is what we're calling "BETA". The core gameplay systems are in and working well, but it lacks elements--content and balancing--that leave it not worthy of being considered Release ready.”

Il prezzo del gioco varierà durante e dopo l'accesso anticipato?

“We are strong believers in the "Pay For What You Get" model. That means the current price for the game is what we feel is fair for what you get, at the time you pay for it. It also means, as the game continues to be fleshed out, the price will increase. We cannot yet say what the price change will be each time it changes, but for sure it will increase up until the game leaves Early Access.

We feel that there is a diverse group of players out there. Some want to buy it now and watch development continue, others want to wait until the game is complete. Both are valid views, and we feel that can offer transparency and involvement for those players who want to take the risk on us sooner, and for the players who wish to wait and see, they can do that as well.”

Come pensi di coinvolgere la Comunità durante il processo di sviluppo?

“We embrace an open line of communication with players, that's through the Steam forums, discord, email, twitter and Reddit. We will always be reading feedback on whatever topics players choose to discuss. We will also be occasionally be featuring surveys and polls on current and new features/content to get reactions and see where we can better improve.”
