Varför Early Access?

“We have to understand how much people are interested in a such kind of application before we continue our development. Nowadays in astronomy new discoveries are made almost every day. Scientists find new stars, exoplanets and galaxies. The Virtual Telescope can provide as much observation in our Universe as people will want.”

Ungefär hur länge kommer det här spelet att vara i Early Access?

“It depends on people interest. If it is low then the game will be a little bit polished during two months. If it is high then it will take us about 8 months to release most helpful and interesting features.”

Hur är det tänkt att den fullständiga versionen ska skilja sig från versionen i Early Access?

“

• Oculus Rift support
  
• More detailed solar system (for example Saturn has about 60 moons and we would like to support all of them)
  
• More landscapes for exoplanets
  
• Supporting of USNO-B stars catalogue which contains one billion(!) stars
  
• Supporting of ISS (you will be able to visit it and even take a look at Earth through a porthole)
  
• Supporting of galaxies catalogues
  
• Supporting of black holes

”

Hur är det nuvarande läget i versionen med Early Access?

“The current version is pretty finished. Stars are rendered perfectly. The solar system contains all planets and all big moons but some of them need landscapes. There are also a lot of features that still could be added.”

Kommer spelet att prissättas annorlunda under och efter Early Access?

“Price is going to be doubled after two months.”

Hur planerar ni att involvera gemenskapen i er utvecklingsprocess?

“We would like the Virtual telescope to be easy to use so we are opened for suggestions. There are features which could be added or improved if community asks for them.”
