Miksi Early Access?

Universe Sandbox is in active development and has become a fully-featured, stable, and smooth-running space simulator.

We're proud of what we’ve created, and we know many fans are eager to explore and experiment with the universe.

We're constantly working on (and releasing) new features, improvements, and bug fixes.

Miten kauan peli tulee arviolta olemaan Early Access -vaiheessa?

Building a universe simulator is a job that's never complete, and we plan to continue full development after leaving Early Access.

We have a long list of features and improvements that we're very excited about implementing and that will keep us busy for a long time to come.

Millä tavoin lopullinen versio tulee eroamaan Early Access -versiosta?

Some of the features and improvements we'd like to add:

• Space megastructures
  
• Basic life simulation
  
• Support for custom models & textures
  
• More dynamic terraforming & improved climate simulation
  
  • ✔ Added materials, including carbon dioxide, for more realistic terraforming and climate simulation
• Additional materials to construct planets, moons, and atmospheres
  
  • ✔ Added materials like methane & oxygen to construct planets and create habitable or oppressive atmospheres
• Steam Workshop support
  
  • ✔ Sharing sims on Workshop now included
• Achievements
  
• Language localization
  
  • ✔ Support for 20+ languages now included
• Improved human-scale mode

Mikä on Early Access -version tila tällä hetkellä?

It is already a fully-featured, stable, and smooth-running simulator.

We've fixed most of the serious issues and have made a lot of progress on optimizations for a range of hardware. Because it is a large-scale sandbox, though, it does have its share of bugs and could use polish in some areas.

Muuttuuko pelin hinta Early Access -vaiheen jälkeen?

The price may increase as we add major features in the future.

Miten yhteisö otetaan mukaan kehitysprosessiin?

We actively seek community feedback from our in-game feedback form, our forums, Discord, and social media.

Community feedback helps us prioritize our long list of planned features and focus on fixing the worst bugs and issues. We make an effort to address every issue that comes our way.

We also add simulations and features based on community requests. We've already added support for sharing simulations on Steam Workshop and plan to support custom models and textures in the future to open up even more doors to the community's creativity.
