Master of Orion - First Look // "To us, the stars"
101Strategy game, you say? With lazors and spaceships and space dragons? Hm. You know, I think that maaaay just be relevant to my interests...
Q&A from steam:
Why Early Access?
“Master of Orion is first and foremost a passion project for us, so it’s very important that we create a worthy successor. We feel Early Access is a critical step in engaging the Master of Orion fan base that will allow them to contribute to the continued development of this iconic 4X franchise.”
Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?
“We are anticipating Early Access to last a minimum of three months, with at least three phases that release additional races and features over time.”
How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?
“The Early Access version of Master of Orion will initially only include six races, fewer victory conditions and some features will be disabled as we continue to polish them.
We will initially only support English and Russian text and voiceover, but will release additional language support as we progress through Early Access. Windows 64bit will be the only initial operating system supported, though we will be rolling out support for Mac OS, Linux and Steam OS over time.
Outside of that, the core gameplay experience will be available, allowing for a full playthrough of the game.”
What is the current state of the Early Access version?
“Currently Master of Orion is in the last stages of Alpha. Once Alpha is complete we will transition to Early Access.”
Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?
“No, pricing will remain consistent during Early Access and after. There might be times where we participate in Steam sales, but the base price of the Collector's Edition will remain at $49.99/45,99€. Pricing and availability for the Standard Edition will be shared at a later date.”
How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?
“We plan to create dedicated forum sections for Early Access to gather feedback from the community. We will be participating in the forum discussions and following impressions very closely. This feedback will be incredibly valuable to us as we fine-tune the gameplay experience and balance, and consider changes to features.”
Can you try Master of Orion during the Early Access phase without buying the Collector’s Edition?
“No, the only way to try the game during Early Access is by purchasing the Collector’s Edition”
I bought the Collector’s Edition and I didn’t get all the content included on it!
“The Collector’s Edition grants instant Early Access to the new Master of Orion, as well as the 3 old titles of the saga. The Terran Khanate race will be given at some point during Early Access, while the soundtrack and the digital artbook will be granted upon the final game release.”
