Why Early Access?

“We have built the core gameplay loop of Qarma Quad, but in the nature of crewing your own career, we welcome those with early access to help us build a variety of combinations of ways to play!

Player feedback will be a key driving force behind creating great new content, and early Access will allow us to get this feedback from players.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We're planning on completing the base game by 2027. That window may shift, however, as we believe it’s better to get it right than get it done early.”

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

“The full version of QARMA QUAD plans to expand the Early Access version by delivering gameplay enhancements and more content.

Factions with memory - Corpo, Crime, and Cultists that open doors or send beings after you, based on your quad’s Qarma and notoriety throughout the galaxy.

Four who feel like four - Distinct personalities, abilities, and classes, so every member of the Quad plays even more like an individual.

More galaxy to cross - Additional quest types, side quests, enemies, and encounters waiting in the dark.

A deeper ship - Richer crew and loadout management, more ship customisation options, and more ship equipment and weaponry options.

These features align with our current vision of the game and where we want it to be once released. As mentioned previously, player feedback will be incredibly important to help us expand the horizons of what this game can become.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Today you can:
- Control a four-character Quad through top-down firefights.
- Find, buy, or steal a wide variety of weapon types, including guns, swords and shields.
- Attempt jobs from three factions, taking your characters from the safety of HQ to the corners of the galaxy, surviving everything that’s thrown at you.
- Regroup at HQ between quests, manage your crew and loadout, and carry your progress forward.

There will be rough edges and lots of TLC needed, but that’s why we’re releasing in Early Access!”

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

“We plan to raise the price as the galaxy fills out with new content and features. Get in early and you pay the lowest rate, and you help shape what the full game becomes.”

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

“Feedback is built into the game from day one. QARMA QUAD ships with an in-game feedback form that sends your reports straight to the crew at Skel Studios.

See something broken, brilliant, or unfair? We’d love to hear about it. Your input helps shape what we fix and add next.”
