What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access? “The game is being released in Early Access because we really want user feedback on the game as a whole! However with that said the game is virtually done, and my require a few bugs to be fixed but nothing to major. The level design has been completed, the story is fully in game. The most that will change again is a few bugs, some new weapons, maybe some new characters, but the biggest thing is the multiplayer. Once Multiplayer will be released which will be soon is the main reason why we are using X-17 as a Early Access title. We want to make sure all bugs are fixed and give you the best multiplayer experience we can offer.” Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access? “It is hard to say a certain time, it really depends on how well the community works with use to report bug issues, but with a target date in mind Sometime in May.” How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version? “The full version will have more maps released on Multiplayer, and the price will than go up from the price it is listed at E.A.” What is the current state of the Early Access version? “The Single Mode is in Beta. The multiplayer mode once released will be in a late Alpha State and should not take that much time to be in official Beta mode.” Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access? “Yes the price will be changing. From the current price it is now, once Multiplayer is live and running well the price will go up. When going into full release the price will go up even more. How much more we are not to sure of at this time.” How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process? “We want feedback! We want you to speak your mind! But at the same time we ask the community to be patient, and give good feedback on what we can improve on.”
