Why Early Access?

“I want to create a shooter with a distinctive style, so I have incorporated sky-island environments into its shooter gameplay. Although I think this combination is full of fun, few games on the market use a similar design, and I’m not sure whether it will appeal to all players. That’s why I chose Early Access: I hope players will try it early and share feedback on control feel, level design, gun mechanics, and item effects, so I can keep polishing and optimizing the game.
The game currently has fully playable core content, but there is still a lot of new content and detail polish to be completed. I will keep updating it and gradually improve the game together with the community.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“within 9 months”

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

“The planned full version will expand on the existing core gameplay from Early Access in multiple ways. I plan to add more sky-island levels with distinct styles and expand different combat scenarios; I also plan to add more types of guns, items, and enemies to enrich combat choices. Based on community feedback, I plan to continue polishing the control feel, adjusting gun mechanics and level difficulty, optimizing art details, and fixing various bugs. At the same time, I plan to optimize the overall game pacing so that the sky-island shooting experience feels more complete and fluid. The ultimate goal is to create a polished, content-rich, complete game experience, and all development directions will be adjusted with reference to player feedback from the Early Access stage.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The Early Access version has already built the game’s basic framework. The core controls, combat mechanics, and item system of the sky-island shooter are all playable. The current version only has the first sky-island map available, allowing players to fully experience the game’s basic feel, gun mechanics, and level design.
At this stage, there are still some issues, including unreasonable map design, incomplete art assets, various bugs, and unbalanced stats. I hope to use Early Access to collect everyone’s feedback and use it to continuously polish the game.”

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

“As new levels, weapons, and gameplay features are gradually released, I may gradually increase the game’s price.”

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

“I will collect player feedback through the Steam Community Discussions. Everyone is welcome to submit bug reports, suggestions about game feel, and ideas related to levels and weapons. I will regularly check community messages, incorporate valuable feedback into future update plans, and share development progress with the community so that players can take part in polishing the game.
Please note: During Early Access development, underlying game data will be modified. New updates may cause old saves to become unreadable or corrupted. Players are advised to manually back up their save files regularly. If you encounter save-related issues, please report them in the Steam Discussions, and I will continue to follow up and fix them.”
