What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“Our game is playable but late game content and community features are still in the works. We are updating the content frequently and hope for active feedback from you, as our internal testing group was quite small. We will implement a lot of features in the next few month and want to explicitly involve the community in the process”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We planning to launch full scale later this year.”

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

“Apart from a much bigger content scope, we have social features in the works that will allow you to build a big spaceport together on a shared map. We also plan to introduce new Quest types, implement new types of research, more buildings and improve the user experience design.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The games main features and core gameplay loop are finished. There is content for about 1-2 hours of consequtive gameplay. You can already real pictures of the moon in the satellite marking mode.”

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

“No. The game will remain completely free.”

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

“We are hoping for feedback on both ux and gameplay. We are planning to actively involve you in the planning of the spaceport and the direction of new quest modes, buildings and production chains. We already have a small community on Discord but also plan to use the Steams forums to gather feedback and ask questionaires on gameplay preferences.”
