Why Early Access?

“The basic functionality of War to the Core is done, however we are just starting to add features to it and balance the game. We need to get it from something playable to an amazing enjoyable game. Hence, we need a lot of player feedback.

We designed our game for change using highly dynamic structures, so the feedback could significantly alter how the game progresses.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We expect the game to be in early access for about 4 to 6 months. We plan the transition to the full version to be incremental and seamless.”

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

“The full version will be much more solid, with well-balanced game mechanics, additional tactical weapons, and better website to support it.

We also plan to run it on more capable servers to cater for the, hopefully, larger number of players.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The main online gameplay mode, death-match, is fully functional. In this mode, players can play team battles with other players.

Not all ship upgrades are functional at this time. However, engines, scanners, and primary weapons can be upgraded now.

The following is still being worked on:
1. Game balance.
2. Additional weapons and ammo variations.
3. Advanced components: Shields, rapid fire weapons, etc...
4. More tactical mechanics.
5. Additional game modes.
6. Matchmaking and battle balance. We need a large enough players pool to accomplish this.
7. UI design teaks.
8. Performance improvements.
9. General bug fixes.”

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

“No, our game is currently planned to be free either way. But we may offer additional free in-game content to early access users to help us experiment with new components.

This of course may change at any time, but that is our current plan.”

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

“We want the community to help us balance our game, come up with ideas and suggestions to improve the game. The way it was built allows us to very quickly integrate players feedback, so we are planning on capitalizing on that.

Our development team itself contains a pool of volunteers that bring a lot of creativity and passion into the team, we are looking to expand that pool if there is interest.”
