Hvorfor tidlig tilgang?

«This game is designed to be a multi-faceted experience, a casual exploring and adventure game, but with the option for added challenges, so there's something for everyone. It's a project which can benefit from input from the player community about game mechanics, economy balancing, and overall fun factor.

Releasing this game as Early Access gets the ball rolling, allows more resources to be allocated to the project sooner, and most importantly, maximizes the opportunity to gather valuable insight from the community earlier in the development process, to help the game reach its full potential.»

Hvor lenge antas det at dette spillet vil være i tidlig tilgang?

«Depending on how quickly things go, it could be anywhere from 1 to 3 years to develop the core gameplay mechanics and features. Things like additional ship modules, points of interest, enemies, and loot variety may be added throughout Early Access and after Full Release, in an effort to produce new and interesting content on an ongoing basis.»

Hvordan er det planlagt at fullversjonen skal være forskjellig fra versjonen i tidlig tilgang?

«The game will be switched over to Full Release state when all the core gameplay features have been implemented and are in line with what was planned for the game, from a high level design perspective. However, even after Full Release, additional content like ship modules, points of interest, enemies, and loot variety may still be added on an ongoing basis.»

Vil spillet være priset annerledes under og etter tidlig tilgang?

«Price may change after Early Access.

There may also be additional paid content in the form of purely aesthetic content (audio/visual theme packs, skins, etc.). These would be designed with aim of NOT having any effect on game mechanics / stats / or overall balance.»

Hvordan planlegger dere å involvere samfunnet i utviklingsprosessen?

«Discord is being used as a primary forum for communication about the product, announcing updates, and affording a space for feedback and critical discussion.

Direct communication is a valuable source of feedback, but in order to ensure the widest, fairest, and most objective representation of where the community stands, regular polls and/or surveys may also be used to gather feedback.

These results can be used to prioritize the development of certain features and content types, improve the balance of combat mechanics, and to make sure the game is generally moving in a direction that the community enjoys.»
