Miksi Early Access?

We would like to take advantage of the Early Access possibility and seek player feedback before we put the “Version 1.0” label on Space Company Simulator. While in Early Access, the game will be updated continuously based on player suggestions and reports. We want you to join the community and help us make Space Company Simulator the game we all want to play.

Miten kauan peli tulee arviolta olemaan Early Access -vaiheessa?

We plan to stay in Early Access for 10-12 months, depending on player feedback and the time required to implement new features and tweak the existing ones. However, this is subject to change and we reserve the right to either shorten or prolong the Early Access period.

Millä tavoin lopullinen versio tulee eroamaan Early Access -versiosta?

We take into account that players will request new features. We will not limit the game’s scope to its current features, but instead, we’ll actively listen to player feedback and implement changes that everyone involved deems beneficial for the game. We are aware that there is always room for improvement and new content, such as weather conditions, leaderboards, new rocket components, new diversified contracts (quests), new in-game events, enhanced user interface and SFX, and more. We plan to balance the game’s economy and level of difficulty based on feedback. It is also important for us to optimize the game for different hardware.
The game is already playable but we are aware that at this stage the game has some technical issues. By presenting it to a larger audience, we would like to identify and address as many of them as possible.

Muuttuuko pelin hinta Early Access -vaiheen jälkeen?

We plan to increase the price when the game leaves Early Access. New features will be free for all who acquire the game in Early Access, no matter how many changes will be made.

Miten yhteisö otetaan mukaan kehitysprosessiin?

We plan to continue to actively engage in conversations on Steam Discussions and other available channels (including Discord) to collect player suggestions and reports. We intend to regularly publish news regarding the development process, including what we’re currently working on and what players can expect in the near future. After each update, we’ll iteratively gather new feedback and ideas and improve the game. We will prioritize fixing bugs reported by players to make their experience as enjoyable as possible.
