EARLY ACCESS FAQ
Why Early Access?
“Void Crew has been in development since 2019, and we have had so many great play sessions with engaged players – giving us invaluable feedback. From the very beginning, we knew it would be vital for us to get help from- and work closely with our community, to enable our Hutlihut team to deliver the great co-op chaos sci-fi space game, we always dreamt of playing ourselves. We are committed to our players and listening to all feedback, suggestions, and ideas. We believe that combining all of these, with our vision for the game, we will truly create the greatest and best possible experience with the game.”
Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?
“We’re currently working on some exciting updates (as can be seen in our Early Access Roadmap). We will be listening to community feedback for new features, as well as polish the experience until we consider the game to be version 1.0. It’s a pretty safe bet to say that Void Crew will be in active development for at least 9 months (counting from September 2023).”
How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?
“We have solid foundations for the Early Access version. What we will add are more “New Toys“ (read: cool big guns for the space ship), more Objectives and the ability to have even more customization options for both players and for the space ship. We plan to add more challenges and Boss battles for Co-op teams to overcome while working on all the exciting suggestions coming from our community. In addition to this, we also plan to work on performance and optimization, as well as polishing the gameplay experience and quality of life features for players.”
What is the current state of the Early Access version?
“Most of the core features of the game are functioning properly. Currently, there are two types of spaceships available to enhance the co-op experience for 2 to 4 players. We have several missions to complete across 3 different biomes, each with mandatory and optional objectives to challenge players against 2 factions of enemies. The core tactile mechanics have been seamlessly integrated to support our vision of epic space battles and co-op chaos fun. Both progression and customization systems have been implemented, offering more than 100 types of cosmetic upgrades to unlock in the game.”
Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?
“The price might slightly increase during Early Access, and/ or when we leave Early Access.”
How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?
“We are dedicated to our players and the community, and will be listening closely to feedback and suggestions on how to expand Void Crew. We use Discord for letting players communicate closely with our team. In there we have bug reporting, feedback and much more. Plus both daily and weekly discussions on good experiences and what players would like to see more in game. We also have an experimental branch, for our most brave Ectypes, where selected groups of players can try upcoming features, before they are fully released and put on our main branch. Updates can be found in our different channels: Discord, X, TikTok, YouTube, Instagram and Reddit.”
