Why Early Access?

“Because what players have to say is important. Receiving feedback and gaining support is essential to developing Space Wrangler to its full potential. To achieve this, the game must find its way into the hands of players as soon as possible. This community’s feedback/support will greatly improve and expedite the overall development of the game.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Plans exist to further develop features, systems, and mechanics for Space Wrangler over the course of a 6 to 12-month period. Space Wrangler will not remain in Early Access for longer than it needs and will exit Early Access upon the completion of all major development goals.”

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

“The full version of Space Wrangler is designed to be a multi-faceted and dynamic platform that will support various forms of gameplay. Game modes featured will deliver enjoyable and re-playable experiences to a large and diverse audience from casual players to fans of simulation. This version intends to include a few major additions to the game that will compliment all forms of preexisting gameplay and add some new ones.
Multiplayer Support
Space is a dangerous place, get help from friends. Core game modes will support at least 2 players cooperatively playing together online. A new game mode will also be introduced to support a larger server population playing together or against each other.
First Contact Mode
Explore and investigate an unknown sector of space where an unexplained disturbance in space-time has been identified. Observe and interact with a new aspect of our universe, black holes. Venture into them to uncover whatever secrets they hold.
Cinematic Mode
The Universe is beautiful, take a picture. Harness the full power of a robust camera suite to capture or record moments of your gameplay with cinematic quality. This system also enables players to configure their default camera setup at any time during gameplay to create a new perspective to experience the universe from.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The game, as it is currently, includes the core features, systems, and mechanics needed to experience the game at a base level. Some experimental elements of the game are partially available so that feedback on them can be given. Be advised, exploring experimental content within the game may change the gameplay experience.”

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

“While in Early Access, the price to purchase Space Wrangler will NOT change. After Early Access, a Full Release price change may occur but is not certain now. Confirmation on a “yes” or “no” for this change will come at a later point when most, if not all, of the development goals are satisfied.”

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

“The community will have the means to be engaged with every step of development for Space Wrangler while in Early Access. Through official forums, bug trackers, and feedback portals, the community will have various options made available to them to share their thoughts on the game with each other and/or the developer(s). All community platforms will remain accessible and further used after Early Access.”
