“Well we have such a huge game planned with multiple active play areas, forging that procedural emergent universe going to take a lot of feedback to perfect.”“We anticipate Shallow Space will be in Early Access for a year, but we’re prepared to spend as long as it takes to get the recipe right!”“The game will quickly evolve into the zone-based open world sandbox that will be 90% feature complete towards the middle/end of Early Access.You’ll quest and patrol the region of Shallow Space playing the game from the eyes of a trader, staunch naval Commander, pirate or miner, building up a fleet and performing RPG-style quests with objectives.The released game will have additional branches of quests and side quests layered in to build upon what should already be a very expansive game.”“Shallow Space is currently a fully playable alpha with the ability to configure ship hulls, design fleets and includes a few playable maps.We have a really positive and friendly community, come ask us if you're unsure. ( Official game forums Steam Community )”“The price of Shallow Space will increase as we add more content and the open-world mechanics.”“Already community feedback is having a huge positive impact on the games design!Our team will listen carefully to the comments raised on both the Steam internal and game forums and the community will be invited to vote on planned features, control methods and content over on the Offical game forums .”
