The Finished Game?

Lagiacrus

I had a few questions to pose about the game once it's completely finished. I don't have a Trello account, so please excuse me if these topics have already been breached.

1. Will purchasers of the Early Access version have to purchase the full edition separately?
2. Will updates continue to be added after release, or will UWE move on to a new game?
3. What is the final envisioning? ( What is the dream view for the release game?)
4. Will the game be limited to PC's?
5. Will there be hard copies (Discs) of the game? (This is more of a personal question, as I love to have an actual disc for the one day in the undeterminable future where Steam may go down.)

1. Buying the Early Access version of the game will give you the final release version as well.
2. We are hoping to be able to continue to update after release, but we can't promise anything in that regard.
3. There is no real final envisioning. That changes over time as we continue to develop the game and we realize better what things are needed and most important to the core experience that we want the player to have. We just want to make sure the final version is as fun, full of content, bug free and polished as possible.
4. Currently we are focused only on the PC version, but depending on the success of the game, and other factors, we may decide to do a console port later. I also think a Mac port is still something we are hoping to do eventually.
5. No hard copies, digital only.

@Lagiacrus I am a big fan of UWE (of their other games Natural Selection 2). And from experience, the company is very open to the community. What I mean by that is, if and when the game has been finalised (as in updates will be far and wide between - you need to remember they are a small company, so will need to move to new projects in order to stay in business), they will give everyone plenty of warning. And in the case of Natural Selection 2, actually allow a team from the community to continue the development of the game (see CDT for NS2). Also, there is the possibility they may allow or someone will develop mods for this game once the full game is released. I think given their previous track record and the way they are currently conducting their development, there is every chance the game will be supported for a long time by the Devs and members of the community.
