Why Early Access?

“As an indie developer, we have created our new rhythm game, Sixtar Gate: STARTRAIL, without the backing of any major company. Because of that, we need the help of our fans to lay a strong foundation so that we can build this rhythm game up to the level it deserves. Since we are including the players in the building process starting from the Early Access phase, we will be able to use their feedback to move this game in a direction that everyone is satisfied with.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Because we are planning to release Sixtar Gate: STARTRAIL on multiple platforms, including the Nintendo Switch, we are expecting that it will take anywhere from three to six months to create a finished game that is not lacking in either quality or content.”

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

“We are planning to have at least 40 playable songs in the finished version of the game. In addition to that, we are planning on implementing an Adventure Mode (working title) to Sixtar Gate: STARTRAIL where players control the main character Shii to get a glimpse into the world she inhabits.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“At the time of our Early Access release, our game will include 15 best-selling licensed songs that will appeal to fans of the rhythm game genre and 5 songs exclusive to Sixtar Gate: STARTRAIL. Prior to the official release, we will be adding a variety of songs, including original ones, at short intervals through updates and DLC packages. At this very moment, we have both well-known and up-and-coming composers creating songs for our game. Also, within the first week of our Early Access release, we are planning to add a multiplayer mode, known as Unity Quest, where players can cooperate with each other.”

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

“As the amount of content increases, the price will rise to a certain extent to reflect the changes.”

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

“We plan to work with all of our players as we create Sixtar Gate: STARTRAIL, paying close attention to the feedback posted on Twitter, Discord, and the Steam Community Hub in order to create the best game possible.”
