What is included in Early Access?
Hopefully a fully playable and fun game. However, some of the biggest improvements to the game have come from player feedback. As a solo-developer working on a project for so long you become blind to parts of it. Early access is a chance to get more players to experience the game and tell me how to improve it and what I should be focusing on.
What is the current state of the game?
The game is fully made and includes all the core systems and gameplay loops. We're looking to add more enemies, content and expand possibilities with different weapons / upgrades. Check out our roadmap on Discord for more details.
How long will the game be in Early Access?
Early access will begin in Q2 2025 and will likely last a year or more. The scope for new features and content is limitless and I'd like to make Star Vortex as good as it can be. I have no idea what the future may hold.
How often will you be updating the game?
The game is generally updated every week or two and I hope to continue this through-out Early Access and beyond.
Will my progress be saved during updates?
Yes, all progress will be transferred. Even progress made in our demo will transfer to the full game at launch.
Will the price change when the game leaves Early Access?
It might be adjusted for inflation, the economy is unpredictable but I'd never charge more than I thought it was worth.
Can I provide feedback and bug reports?
This is the only reason I'm going in to Early Access so get on our Discord or post to our Discussions page all your thoughts and feedback!
