Why Early Access?

“We want players involved while the sandbox is still growing. The core loop-explore tiny planets, gather and haul, raise bridges, record trails, and train Sparks-is playable now, and Early Access lets us harden that loop, expand systems, and shape priorities from real sessions instead of shipping a frozen 1.0 too early. Feedback on training clarity, saves, co-op, and what makes people return will guide what we build next.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We plan for roughly 6 to 12 months of Early Access, depending on how stable the core loop feels and how much community feedback we can absorb. We may stay in Early Access longer if major systems still need polish before we call a full release.”

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

“We plan to deepen the sandbox beyond today's gather → haul → teach → automate loop: clearer onboarding, more reliable Spark training and failure feedback, stronger saves (including vehicles/cargo), richer Planet Hub crafting, better co-op, and more reasons to travel between biomes.

A major planned addition is a critter / rift-style challenge layer—think short, repeatable runs where you fight and farm for ability progress and gear-style rewards. The behavioural engine for that side already exists; we plan to shape the exact loop, rewards, and how it ties into exploration and automation with player feedback during Early Access. We also plan to keep improving performance as worlds fill with Sparks, critters, and physics.

These are intentions, not guarantees of specific features, drop tables, or dates-the full release should feel like a more complete version of the same physical AI sandbox, not a different game.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“You can already play the core fantasy end-to-end: walk and fly tiny planets with their own gravity, gather resources, build starter carts and trailers, raise bridges between neighbouring worlds, use Planet Hubs for shared storage and crafting/auto loops, record trails, train Sparks, and put companions to work. Solo play and host-authoritative co-op (online / LAN) are available in the shipping desktop build. A first useful path-manual work, a delivery, and a trained Spark run-can take on the order of a couple of hours; open-ended goals like consolidating resources across planets can take much longer.

Early Access still means rough edges: onboarding can be dense, learned routes can fail in ways that need clearer explanation, save coverage is incomplete for some vehicle/cargo situations, Auto only progresses while the session runs, and content breadth (biomes, recipes, long-term goals) will grow over time. Expect a playable systems sandbox, not a finished campaign or fully balanced endgame.”

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

“We are not planning an automatic price change just because we leave Early Access. Our plan is to keep the Early Access price as the baseline and only consider raising the price later if substantial new content and polish clearly support it. Seasonal and launch-style discounts may still happen during Early Access as usual.”

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

“We plan to watch Steam discussions, wishlists, and reviews closely, run demos/playtests when we can, and use player reports to prioritize training clarity, bugs, saves, co-op friction, and the next systems that make people want another session. Useful bug reports, clips of weird physics/AI moments, and “I got stuck here / I wanted to do X” feedback will matter most. We plan to post development updates so players can see what changed and what we are looking at next.”
