Why Early Access?

“SpessVR like any other game inspired by SS13 is a large project. We'd like to put out earliest possible versions to players for them to try it out and give us feedback, so we can start off and give attention to features that truly matter the most at first.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“There are no precise timelines, SpessVR is project that has been many years in development by team of volunteers who work on it because we want to find out where it goes. We have different approach to our end goals if you'd compare this project to other SS13 remakes: we are not trying to achieve feature parity with some other 2D SS13 codebase, goal is to take aesthetics and gameplay feel of classic game, and turn it into worthy 3D/VR rendition.”

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

“First non-early access release will feature new jobs/roles, more interactive possibilities, etc. We plan on modelling game features on original Space Station 13 game and we will accept feedback as mentioned above from community on what to prioritize first. Basically goal for release is to have all the SS13 departments represented in some way in this 3D world.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“At first alpha release, we are going to have basic botany, chemistry, and some other features. Refer to "about" section on this page to see more details on current features.”

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

“No. Game will remain free to play.”

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

“If you are interested in the game, its development or community, please join our public Discord linked.

We are planning to listen to players for feedback and hold different kinds of polls for changes coming to game.”
