Why Early Access?

“Zero G Nova Adventure is a solo-developed online space sandbox. The core game is playable today: exploring procedurally generated galaxies, mining, crafting, trading, building bases and fighting in PvP. Several large systems are still being built, and I want player feedback to guide how combat, the economy, base building and world content are balanced and prioritized. Early Access lets me build the rest of the game in the open, together with the community.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Roughly 6 months, depending on community feedback and how the remaining features come together.”

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

“The full version is planned to add advanced ship customization, expanded base building with defensive structures, clans, alliances and cooperative play, PvP arenas and tournaments, near-light-speed travel using gravitational slingshots, more cosmic phenomena such as supernovae, kilonovae and quasars, and exploration achievements. It will also bring more balancing, performance work and polish. The order of these features may change based on what players ask for.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The game is in open beta (version 0.8.2) and is playable today. Available now: procedurally generated galaxies with 20 to 100 star systems, real stars, black holes in three sizes and nebulae; mining, crafting and player trading; ship modules; base and city building; real-time PvP combat; and hosting your own server. Expect bugs, missing content and balance changes while development continues. The About section lists the current features and the Coming Soon list shows what is still missing.”

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

“Free to play, and it will stay free to play after Early Access. Optional purchases are cosmetic only, with no pay-to-win items.”

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

“Player feedback shapes what I build next. Report bugs and ideas through the feedback form, follow progress on the public roadmap and bug tracker, and join the Discord server to talk with me and other players. I read the reports and use them to decide what to fix and build first, and I post updates as new versions are released.”
