What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access? “Infinity: Battlescape is mature enough to provide a consistently enjoyable experience and we want to bring the game to an audience larger than our initial Kickstarter backers to gather more feedback, engage with the community and keep improving the game.” Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access? “The game will stay in Early access until it is polished, feature-complete and we feel confident it has a good amount of content for its price point. However we'd like to avoid staying many years in early access.” How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version? “For the full version we are planning to add more content, mostly in the form of additional planets, equipments, upgrades, missions, squad management capabilities, long-term persistent progression, and cosmetics for both your ship and cockpit.” What is the current state of the Early Access version? “The core gameplay loop is solid but the game currently lacks long-term content. We still have to add some missing features, perform a balancing and a final polish phase. Please note that the number of players online is usually pretty low, but the game features a massive war with bots so the server are always up 24h/24 and full of action. The gameplay is a bit on the repetitive side at the moment, but there are always battles going on and you can experience all the ship classes ( custom loadouts will be implemented soon ). Our server software is stable and we've successfully hosted battles involving hundreds of ships or players.” Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access? “As the game is in Early access we feel like it's fair for players to pay a lower price to compensate for issues and lack of content they might encounter. But keep in mind we are a multiplayer game and we still need to pay full costs for servers, bandwidth and operating costs. The Early access price will be 10% to 15% lower than the full priced game at release.” How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process? “The community is already heavily involved in the development process, far more than in most other games. We play our own game, read comments on our forums, host community events, and hang out on our Discord server on a regular basis. We are very transparent about our work and have posted hundreds of weekly updates over the course of the game's development.”
