Why Early Access?

“Early Access gives us the opportunity to implement player feedback directly into the upcoming development of the game. Since we are only two developers working on this in our free time, we will need your help to make this game as best it can be.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Our goal is to leave Early Access with a polished and complete product, so we are aiming for about a year, but ultimately this will take as long as we need to achieve this.”

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

“After the initial Early Access release we will keep adding content until the game is finished. This means more levels, more weapons and more enemies.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Last year we've launched a free demo containing one level (mission) of the game. The purpose of this demo was to gather player feedback and let players get a taste of what the game is going to be like. Based on this feedback we've developed a campaign with 7 missions, with more enemy types, a variety of locations and a big bossfight at the end. We are confident that the current content will provide for many hours of enjoyment for this Early Access launch!”

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

“The game will be sold at a lower price during the Early Access period. As we add new content to the game and eventually release the full game, the price will go up to match the complete product.”

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

“Community feedback will play a critical role in the development of District Steel. If you have any thoughts or questions about the game that you wish to share with us, don’t hesitate to post them on the discussion board.”
