Coming Soon To Early Access

The developers of this game intend to release as a work in progress, developing with the feedback of players.

Note: Games in Early Access are not complete and may or may not change further. If you are not excited to play this game in its current state, then you should wait to see if the game progresses further in development. Learn more

What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“Early Access will give us insight into our systems and balance, allowing us to make changes based on community feedback and further improve the game with additional mechanics and features.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We expect the game to remain in Early Access for approximately 9 to 11 months. This timeframe may be extended if additional time is needed to address issues, improve balance, or respond to community feedback.”

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

“We plan to continue supporting the game well beyond 1.0 with new ships, missions, loot, abilities, balance changes, bug fixes, and more content over time.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The Early Access version includes the core combat and progression systems, station management, upgrades, loot and resources, inventory management, wave-based combat, and Challenge Mode. The game is playable from start to finish within its current gameplay loop, but some systems are still being expanded, balanced, and improved. Additional content, ships, missions, abilities, and progression features are planned throughout Early Access. By the time the game launches into Early Access, it will also include additional content and features beyond what is currently available.”

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

“Yes. We plan to increase the price slightly after Early Access to reflect the additional content and improvements, but the increase is not expected to be significant.”

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

“We plan to involve the community through player feedback, bug reports, balance discussions, and suggestions for future improvements. Community feedback will help us identify issues, improve existing systems, and decide which areas of the game need the most attention during Early Access. We also plan to listen closely to feedback on new mechanics and content as development continues. ”
