What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“The game has undergone substantial development over several years, has demoed well at various trade shows, and is undergoing refinement in private Beta. We are using Early Access to get feedback from a wider audience.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We expect to launch the finished game later this year, 2021.”

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

“During Early Access, large portions of content or gameplay may be inaccessible during any given update, in order to focus testing and feedback. Some content depicted on this store front may not be available during a given update.

We estimate that the full game has well over 40 (!) hours of play for the average gamer. At the beginning of Early Access, there will be be many hours of gameplay over several zones available. Over time we will unlock other portions of the already-developed game world, reveal more enemies, puzzles, boss encounters, vehicles, equipment, story secrets, and progressively make home ship functionality unlockable.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The game version in Early Access is substantially feature complete and generally performs well on modest hardware.

The gameplay, game world, story, weapons, items, characters / enemies, visuals, audio and music are all substantially developed. There are various known gameplay bugs and likely many unknown bugs.

Content is not fully tuned and may be inappropriately easy or difficult at times.

In general, the gameplay and features described in our "About this Game" section describes play in Early Access versions of the game. As mentioned in the section above, large portions of content may be unavailable during any given Early Access update, *including some depicted on the store* but there will always be many hours of gameplay available at any given time. Gameplay related to home ship upgrades / repairs will also be initially unavailable.”

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

“The game price may increase during or after Early Access.”

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

“We encourage everyone to use the in-game bug reporting tool at the pause screen to submit constructive and well-written bugs. We also have a server for interacting with us and other gamers during development. Our Discord is the best place for the latest info and quickest feedback.”
