Why Early Access?

“We are a small company that wants to release a large-scale game that does not strictly follow the guidelines for the genre. There are many mechanics which change the pace and style of the game. Early access allows us to experiment with this and get feedback before a full release. We plan on providing long term support and making a huge range of features / game modes and we want to get it right.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Deadlokk will be in Early Access for approximately 1-2 years.”

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

“We've introduced a solo/co-op PvE mode for Deadlokk alongside the existing game, which has now become our main focus. We would like to introduce new systems for Player Customization, expand on PVP and a number of graphical and gameplay mechanics such as weapon hardpoints on ships.

We also plan on improving existing systems such as enemy AI and expand the universe our Expedition mode currently provides.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The current version provides a working and playable PvE & PvP gamemode, with physics, items, different ships, objectives and hostile NPCs. The PvE mode also includes unlockable ships and saving of items between games.”

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

“The pricing will change after the end of early access.”

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

“We shall be posting updates periodically by keeping everyone up to date on our social media platforms and updates to the game. The introduction of a new gamemode has changed our focus to larger updates rather than smaller more frequent updates.”
