Why Early Access?

“Thanks to the feedback we received from beta and demo users, we are now ready to release the Early Access version of Scramble: Battle of Britain. This version features a single-player game mode where players can manage a core set of pilot traits and lead their squadron in battle, preparing for the full Battle of Britain campaign coming in the next major release of Scramble.

We are launching Early Access because Scramble introduces a highly innovative gameplay system, and we believe that it will benefit massively from player feedback. This approach will allow us to refine the game through continuous iteration and upgrades, ensuring we deliver a truly engaging and polished experience for the full release.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“1 year”

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

“Between the Early Access launch and the full release, we plan to introduce several major updates. These will include a full campaign that will take players into the 1940 summer skies to fight the iconic Battle of Britain, additional pilot traits, more airplanes, and enhanced AI behaviors. We will also implement player-requested features, fine-tune the balance of squadron management, refine pilot traits, and introduce multiplayer mode, ensuring that the full release delivers a comprehensive and polished experience.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The Early Access features of Scramble: Battle of Britain allow players to dive into the core single-player game mode taking on the role of an RAF squadron leader, and engage in strategic combat missions. A Skirmish Editor allows players to rapidly generate missions and fight as either the RAF or Luftwaffe. Powerful cinematic tools allow you to view the action from multiple angles and share your game replays. The Early Access build provides a fully functional foundation of the game, giving players a comprehensive and enjoyable experience, while also setting the stage for future updates and improvements.”

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

“We are not planning to change the price when we leave early access.”

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

“As we move into Early Access, community feedback will play a crucial role in shaping the future of Scramble: Battle of Britain. We are committed to maintaining an open dialogue with our players, encouraging them to share their own content, thoughts and suggestions through dedicated feedback channels such as forums and Discord server. Regular updates will incorporate player-driven improvements, and we plan to host community playtests and livestreams to engage directly with players. This ongoing interaction will help us continuously refine the game, ensuring that the final version is shaped by the needs and desires of our valued community.”
