Why Early Access?

“STARNAUT has its own unique rogue-like game system but because of its uniqueness, we consider the development of this game system is still in progress and can be improved and completed by taking wide variety of feedback from players.
Therefore we decided to release this game as an early access to be able to take those feedback from community to improve the experience of our game.
We think the good game will eventually be made with the cooperation of the actual player, so we need our game to be released as an early access this time.
Please lend us strength, everyones' feedback is needed.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“In our plan, it will go up to about a year of us hearing the feedback and try to improve the quality of this game.
During this process, we are going to update the game based on our loadmap, add new contents and improve the overall game system.
In the future, we will evaluate the progression of development then decide either prolong the EA or officially releasing the game.”

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

“We envision to expand the overall content of the game and enhance the game system in the full version by focusing adjusting the game balance and adding more elements.
That means we will add more fun elements like crazy boss battle, new levels, brushing up playable weapons and etc..
We are sure there will bring out more fun of rogue-like game to the maximum!
Although there is some issue still remaining that needs to be dealt with, we will try our best to solve and will release the official version in the future.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“5 main levels and 5 sub levels, 15 playable weapons, over 100 different variant of enemies are ready.
These will expand the endless patterns of STARNAUT's game experience.
We are sure that players will have fun even if this game is in EA stage.”

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

“In the official release of this game, or when this game gets close to official version, the price of game will potentially increase.”

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

“We are planning to get feedback through Steam community, Our official Youtube channel and Twitter more often.
We value the feedback from the community the most and we think the communication between players can lead this development into better direction.
Most importantly, we consider Starnaut is the project where the players and us the developers will take hands together and evolve this game into the next level.
We will listen/ask to the community for any new idea for contents that players want or need. We will try to implement them as much as possible even if it takes time or something difficult.
Please let us know what you guys think.”
