Why Early Access?

“NIGHTSTAR: Rogue Wings was released on Early Access as a way for the community to get involved and play an important role on the game's development. We’ve been continuously improving the game with all the invaluable feedback we are having from players. This is a handcrafted game with no procedurally generated content, so everything you see is carefully planned. Play the game, and make sure to come join the game's community page afterwards here on Steam where we discuss features, bugs, and much, much more.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We intend to have NIGHTSTAR: Rogue Wings ready for full release, with 7 complete levels, by the end of 2017. We’re still on Early Access, so some changes in direction may still occur.”

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

“The final version will feature 7 PLAYABLE LEVELS.

Here's a list of features that are planned to be available in the full version:

• 7 complete levels with unique enemies, bosses and story line
  
• Weapons and upgrades for your ship
  
• Skins and color customization options (always free, no in-game purchases)
  
• Dynamic missions that will change according to the player's choices
  
• Steam Trading Cards and Achievements.

”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“NIGHTSTAR: Rogue Wings’ Early Access version brings a solid core gameplay with working enemies, weapons, wingmen, and much more.

Here's a list of the major features available so far:

• Single player campaign mode with 5 COMPLETE LEVELS
  
• Tactical third person view AND immersive cockpit view
  
• Unique target-lock system
  
• Triple-A art and effects
  
• State-of-the-art sound design

”

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

“Not for players who participate on the Early Access phase. These players will not have to pay any additional amount after the game is released. Our Early Access pricing is more attractive so that the community can engage more during this phase. Our final pricing may be higher, but not by a large margin.”

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

“The indie gaming industry is only strong because of our community, and that's how we endure. Feedback has always been a key in the development process of NIGHTSTAR: Rogue Wings. Real players’ experiences are extremely valuable in that it allows us to see the game from the players’ point of view, and then correct or change things to enhance the game and make it even better!
