Почему ранний доступ?

«First of all, space simulators are usually greatly benefit from the Early Access. It is very hard to build such game from the ground up without constant iterations and community feedback, because of size of scope and complexity of the game systems.

Secondly, the cutting-edge technologies are used in this game (no, not RTX but it is pretty easy to add), which are a bit unstable at this moment. So, it needs to be checked, whether they will work on different user configurations before the full release.

And last, but not least, I plan to release several major content updates, finalizing and polishing some game mechanics. It would be great if the community of the game will help me to do this.»

Сколько примерно эта игра будет в раннем доступе?

«I will continue to work on this game as long as the community is interested in it. The speed of development will depend greatly on the success of the game. I expect years will pass when it will be finished. But if I will be able to hire more developers, the development time could be reduced.»

Чем планируемая полная версия будет отличаться от версии в раннем доступе?

«You can find detailed roadmap on the Steam forum. I plan to add two more game modes (survival and story), spaceport building and all main celestial bodies of the Solar system. And obviously, much more rocket parts! Also it would be great to implement some missing visual systems, like clouds, rivers and vegetation on the planets.»

Каково текущее состояние версии в раннем доступе?

«All main game systems, like orbital mechanics, planet generation, rocket construction and space flights are established. These systems are pretty stable. But the game has non-critical bugs, missing some quality of life features (like symmetry tools and bulk operations in rocket construction) and not as much content as I would like. For more details you can look at our roadmap.»

Изменится ли цена игры после выхода из раннего доступа?

«The price of the game will be gradually increased two times with the release of major updates in Early Access.»
