What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access? “We are launching The Endless Mission on Early Access because we want to involve the community as soon as possible in the development of the game. The Endless Mission is a creation sandbox game with a powerful toolset enabling multi-genre game creation that can be shared with the community. The Early Access community will be critical in helping inform what tools we should introduce and what genres we should explore next.” Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access? “We anticipate The Endless Mission coming out of Early Access in 2021.” How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version? “The full version of The Endless Mission will see additional content and creation assets being released, cooperative and multiplayer play and creation modes, enhancements to the Editor that allow for more creative exploration, and a continued expansion of the narrative.” What is the current state of the Early Access version? “The Early Access version of The Endless Mission will feature a rich narrative adventure as well as our Editor toolset. The adventure mode begins to tell the story of The Endless Mission and will introduce players to characters that they'll interact with and the tools that they'll need to build and create. Speaking of which, the Editor will give players the opportunity to dive instantly into tools and begin creating their own games using a powerful set of tools.” Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access? “The price of The Endless Mission is going to increase as key features are introduced into the game. However, if a player has already purchased the game then those new features will come at no extra cost. Once you buy it, it's yours.” How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process? “The community is one of the primary reasons that we are choosing to launch The Endless Mission on Early Access. This is an ambitious game in terms of the range of games and possibilities that can be created, the scope of the story, and power of the creation tools. Our closed beta proved that having a dedicated community along with us on this journey is going to help inform the direction of the game’s overall development.



Currently, we’re planning on having developer blog updates, hosting weekly themed challenges that highlight community-generated content, and working with the community so they can inform us about what features and game genres they want to see next.”
