Waarom vroegtijdige toegang?

'Creating a game like this involves a lot of balancing, which simply isn't possible without a large player base. We've also come to realize that we've been developing the game in isolation for some time, and now we're eager to build an audience to receive valuable feedback—both on the current gameplay and on features players would like to see.'

Hoelang blijft dit spel ongeveer in vroegtijdige toegang?

'We plan on being in early access between 3-6 months.'

Hoe gaat de volledige versie verschillen van de versie met vroegtijdige toegang?

'We plan to polish the current experience by improving animations, adding more visual effects, fixing bugs, and optimizing the game.

We intend to increase the diversity of enemies, weapons, and upgrades, ensuring each trip to the planet feels more unique and varied.

Our development will be player-driven, so priorities may shift based on feedback. For instance, we might focus on adding features like new planets or player customization instead of expanding the enemy variety if that's seen as more important.

While our core gameplay loop is complete, we intend for the final version of the game to be far more balanced.'

Wat is de huidige staat van de versie met vroegtijdige toegang?

'The current verison of the game has the full game loop implemented. You can drop down to the planet, navigate, aim, shoot and escape. Waves spawn an array of enemies that have different attack patterns and get harder to kill as the wave counter increases. Killing them increases your score and unlocks upgrades.

Zal het spel anders geprijsd worden tijdens en na vroegtijdige toegang?

'Yes, we will be setting the game at a lower price point while it's in early access and will increase it in price once we leave.'

Hoe zijn jullie van plan de community te betrekken bij het ontwikkelproces?

'We want to know what our players care about. Do they want more enemies, more powerups, different player ships, different planets? We just don't know but we want to!!

We'll be engaging directly with the community on steam forums and our own discord to get feedback on the game. We also plan on integrating some backend analytics so we can identify trends in the game.

We plan on taking votes to gauge what players want to see. We also plan on proposing different enemy designs and powerups that they can vote on.

We'll also be listening closely to player feedback and intend to push regular fixes and changes to improve their experience.'
