Why Early Access?

“To be able to add more features with community feedback”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“3 - 6 months”

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

“We are planning on expanding the game by adding more pirates, enemy types, ports, sirens and worlds to explore. ”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“PIRACY is a single-player naval action-adventure set across the Solar Seas, a strange circular world of islands, ports, Pirate Kings and mysterious Sirens.

The game currently features its core sailing and ship-to-ship combat systems, an introductory tutorial, an explorable world, distinct enemy vessels and powerful Pirate King encounters. Players command the APHELION, navigating the solar winds, fighting hostile ships, collecting resources, and visiting ports to repair and upgrade their vessel.

Exploration also introduces the seven Sirens, who offer guidance and gradually reveal the world's story, alongside discoverable music-bearing vessels, a growing soundtrack, and a Map Room for charting discoveries and following progression.

The Early Access period will focus on refining the existing adventure: improving combat balance, enemy behaviour, performance, visual presentation, storytelling and progression. Some encounters and systems are still being polished, and players may encounter bugs or unfinished details as development continues.

Our aim is to build on the playable foundations of PIRACY while gradually bringing the complete voyage to its intended level of polish.”

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

“we plan to increase the price slightly as more features get added. ”

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

“The Steam Community will be an important part of PIRACY's development throughout Early Access.

We'll use Steam Community Discussions to gather feedback, suggestions and bug reports, and Steam announcements and patch notes to communicate updates and development progress.

We're particularly interested in hearing about players' experiences exploring the Solar Seas: which encounters they enjoy, how ship combat and sailing feel, whether progression and upgrades are satisfying, and which parts of the world they'd like to see developed further.

Player feedback will help us prioritise balancing, accessibility, performance improvements, quality-of-life changes and refinements to the story and exploration experience. We'll also be open to suggestions for smaller world-building details, environmental interactions and additional content where these complement the game's existing direction.

PIRACY is being developed with a strong creative vision, but there's plenty of room for the community to help shape how that vision evolves. Constructive criticism, unexpected discoveries and even the occasional spectacular shipwreck are all welcome.”
