DEV UPDATE #4/5
Hey all,
Its been a little over a week, and I have been working hard at getting Space One ready for an early - early access release.
I want you to all be very very aware, that because the game is not set to be released on early access until May, a lot of features may come and go during the months that follow.
[h3]Arcade Mode and Dynamic Updates[/h3]
We will start out first with an arcade mode, and you will be able to access each new feature in the arcade as it becomes available. I intend on updating every time I have new features to share, rather than making promises of 1 week.
The benefit of this is clear, some weeks I may have new features ready in a single day.
Others may take up to but not exceeding 2 weeks.
[h3]
Career Mode[/h3]
After enough content for the "Career Mode" (name very subject to change) then I will unlock career mode for your access. I may occasionally unlock career mode for a day for people to play in it. And when I feel there is enough content to keep it unlocked, I will do so.
I want to be clear on all of this, because I don't want you to be disappointed.
So that about covers it, the new trailer highlights the menu content and gives you a starting idea of the game mechanics and the flow.
I have let go of the high resolution textures for now, as they require a lot of optimization and such is much more complex as just one dude.
I hope you all enjoy the game, feel free to send suggestions and errors to the email address on the game page, and I feel if several people make the same suggestion, it is likely it will be implemented.
[h3]Customer Service[/h3]
Lastly, I wanted to say, if you are unhappy with the game, the gameplay or something that you read or experienced related to the game, rather than giving a bad review, I want you to be transparent with me.
Tell me, and I will do whatever I can to help come to a reasonable and quick solution.
We are create a universe here friends, and there are many universes out there to choose from: No Man's Sky, Robert Space Industries, Astroneer, Space Engineers, Elite Dangerous - to name a few.
[h3]You Matter[/h3]
Your support, through word of mouth, and good reviews will help propel us forward.
At first launch, and until the unlocking of "Career Mode" the game will be available at a greatly reduced price, as a kind of reward. Think of where I am now, and your purchase of the game as kind of like what RSI did with crowd funding - Each copy of the game sold, goes towards fuelling Space One. The more interested people we get, the more content we can bring, and eventually I can hire people to make the progress come much much faster.
Between now and then, thank you for your interest. Together, we are going to shake the industry forever because my imagination has no boundaries and no limits.
Best Wishes,
~Andy
