Why Early Access?

“As a solo developer, my priority is to create a game that is not only fun but also meaningful and engaging for the players. Exo Exploits is an ambitious project, blending factory management, resource extraction, and spaceship building in a retro-futuristic world. Early Access allows me to connect directly with the community, gather valuable feedback, and refine the game to its best version. Your insights will be instrumental in shaping the experience and ensuring it meets the expectations of those who play it.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“I’m currently aiming for the Early Access phase to last about a year, though this could change depending on player feedback and development progress. As a solo developer, I want to avoid rushing the process and instead focus on making Exo Exploits the best it can be. The timeline will adapt as needed to ensure the game reaches its full potential.”

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

“I plan to expand the game significantly during Early Access, guided by community feedback. Potential updates may include:

• Additional platform types and facilities
  
• Expanded solar systems with more planets to explore
  
• New spaceship classes and customization options
  
• Enhanced trade mechanics and deeper narrative elements

The aim is to refine and enrich the game, but all features and changes will depend on development progress and community insights.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The Early Access version includes a solid foundation of core gameplay mechanics, including platform building, resource extraction, spaceship crafting, and trade route management. Players can experience the neon-stylized retro-futuristic aesthetic and test the systems designed for production and exploration. While fully playable, this version is an evolving project, and I am actively seeking feedback to improve and expand upon the experience.”

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

“I plan to maintain the current price throughout Early Access. However, as new features and significant content are added, I plan to gradually raise the price as we ship new content and features to reflect the increased value of the game. Any pricing changes will be communicated well in advance.”

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

“"Community involvement is vital for the success of Exo Exploits. I’ll actively engage with players through Discord, Steam forums, and social media, listening to feedback and ideas to guide development. Your suggestions and support will help me refine the gameplay and prioritize features that matter most to you."”
