Why Early Access?

“We are a small team and want to make this game with and for the community. That's you!
For this, we want to include you as early as possible in the process for which Early Access is ideal. We'll try to go into it with a functional but scope-limited game, late enough you a can actually play it without being stumped by bugs all the time, but early enough we can still make decisions based on your feedback.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Hard to say at this stage (we'll update this as Early Access date comes closer), it will depend on the feedback we receive from you and how long we think it will take to scale the content to a full game, our current estimate is roughly 12 months.”

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

“Largely in terms of amount of content / scale. In Early Access you should be able to play the story up to a point. That should include 95% of the game mechanics (piloting, trading, missions, etc...).
We plan that the full release should expand the content a lot in the sense that it should give you more systems to explore, more characters to interact with and complete the story with side tracks and perhaps add some missing game mechanics.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Right now we're just starting out. Once we launch Early Access, we aim to to have about one hour of gameplay with 95% of the game mechanics (piloting, trading, missions, etc...).”

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

“Again, a bit early to say at this stage but we'll likely raise the price a bit in steps as we add more content so there is a relationship between what you get and what you pay for. That implies of course, that Early Access buyers will have an advantage which we consider fair as they help us a lot in actually making a good game.”

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