Why Early Access?

“Vanguard: Fight For Rudiarius will be our first ever public release indie game. It is an ambitious endeavour that aims to satiate the hunger for intense multiplayer space combat. We are inviting the gaming community to join the team and shape the game. Early Access will help us to open up a meaningful and impactful dialog with players that wish to take part in creating the ultimate space combat shooter.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We will be in early access for at least the first quarter of 2019 and aim to launch the full game summer 2019 that will continue to be updated as the game expands its horizons and grows in scope along with our community.”

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

“The full version of the game aims to include multiple space arenas, customisable ships and player characters, mini games featuring character hand to hand combat in-between epic space battles that include multiple game modes such as team battles, king of the hill, capture the flag and more!

With true, cross-platform, multiplayer support across multiple devices including PC, Mobile and VR already set in place, we do wish to take the game onto current gen consoles in future.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Currently in Alpha we have pvp dogfighting cross play across PC, Mobile and Oculus Go. Graphics are largely placeholder as we define the look and feel of Vanguard: Fight for Rudiarius, game mechanics and controller support is a work in progress.”

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

“The game will be free to play during development and after release. Whilst the pricing model has not been fully established we look to include in-app purchasing for cosmetic enhancements. We will not be pay to win.”

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

“By engaging with our early access releases and feeding back thoughts and ideas, players will be given the power to influence the game as it develops. From ideas about the games lore, submitting artwork to help guide visual design of ships, characters and the world of Vanguard, to making suggestions about mechanics and control systems, we want Vanguard to be the result of a true community effort.
