Varför Early Access?

“We are independent team of game developers and warship history enthusiasts and we believe we've created interesting navy action game. Our first players inspired us to continue development and acquire new fans and followers on Steam. That's why we're here.

We have a lot of things to work hard on to make Gunfleet meeting your expectations and we can do it with your help and support. That's why we launch the game in Early Access.”

Ungefär hur länge kommer det här spelet att vara i Early Access?

“We project that in optimal case it will take 6-12 months to implement the batch of most wanted features and content. Then, in large part judging by players feedback, we will decide whether we leave Early Access stage. In any case we are not going to disrupt the initial gameplay with sudden radical changes.”

Hur är det nuvarande läget i versionen med Early Access?

“The main gameplay aspects are already solid: it takes about two months for new player to explore existing content, and core shooter gameplay is infinite in its holding power :)

At the moment, players can:

• participate in team deathmatch, King of the Hill and convoy scenarios
  
• access 40+ different ships from Navies of Soviet Union, United States, Germany and Japan
  
• research, upgrade and customize their boats, ships and submarines
  
• form small fleets of up to three members
  
• raise in their ranks and get rewarded for that
  
• complete basic rewardable missions
  
• receive in-game achievements

Expect regular additions to GunFleet ships line-up!”

Kommer spelet att prissättas annorlunda under och efter Early Access?

“We're not planning to change free-to-play model in Release stage. In-game pricing though may change, but not much.”
