Why Early Access?

“We believe the strongest version of AiO Verse will come from working with players rather than in isolation. Early Access lets us expand the narrative, refine systems, and improve stability based on real feedback while the game is still growing. As a solo-developed title, this process is especially important for balancing pacing, clarifying story beats, and shaping how the wider AiO Verse unfolds beyond the current Kepler-186F chapter.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We expect Early Access to last at least 6–12 months. The exact length will depend on development progress and the feedback we receive. During this period the focus remains on polishing and expanding the existing Kepler-186F experience before introducing further layers of the AiO Verse.”

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

“The core structure of the Kepler-186F chapter is already playable. Early Access is primarily for refining that chapter and then expanding outward. Planned work includes additional narrative content and side investigations on Kepler-186F, improvements to exploration and puzzle systems, and, later, the introduction of further settings within the AiO Verse. There is a small risk of save-data resets during major updates; we will announce any such changes in advance and try to avoid them wherever possible.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The Early Access build offers a complete playable chapter set entirely on Kepler-186F. You play as a Type-37 robot investigating the disappearance of an Ansu Heavy Industry colony on a tidally locked world. The experience centres on exploration across a large streaming environment, environmental puzzle-solving, and piecing together what happened through documents, systems, and physical traces. Corporate factions, electronic lifeforms, and the consequences of an immortality programme are already present. Systems and content continue to be tested and adjusted based on how players move through this world.”

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

“The price may increase once Early Access ends and additional content has been added. Any change will be announced in advance.”

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

“AiO Verse is being shaped with its players. As a solo developer I rely heavily on direct feedback. We discuss ideas, bugs, and narrative direction on Discord and the Steam forums. Suggestions for scenes, systems, pacing, and story clarity are regularly reviewed and often influence upcoming updates. Every piece of feedback helps decide what to prioritise next within the current Kepler-186F chapter and beyond.”
