Why Early Access?

“Ultimate Coaster X has definitely reached a level of polish that makes me comfortable publicly releasing a version for people to test. I'd like feedback on the performance, stability, and realism from a wide variety of people. Furthermore, because this game revolved around creating roller coaster designs and saving them to load later, I want to make sure the physics are set in stone before releasing the final product, as otherwise a future update to the game may ruin peoples' existing creations.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“The game will be in early access for roughly two months, as aim for a Spring 2019 release.”

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

“The game is largely finished, but there are several things that I plan on adding:
- Steam workshop or some other coaster sharing platform
- Better VR controls (e.g. sitting at a keyboard)
- Improved performance
- More coaster types, such as Gerstlauer, Schwarzkopf, Intamin impulse, etc.
- Support for more operating systems”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The game is very much playable, but there may be bugs and the game is missing many features.
Currently implemented:
- Making roller coasters
- Editing terrain
- Riding roller coasters
- Basic VR support

Not implemented:
- Any social / sharing functionalities
- Certain roller coaster types
- Full VR support for both Vive and Oculus”

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

“The game will be always be free.”
