"Games in Development are playable games, but they're not finished just yet: they might be in the final stages of gameplay improvements or still

getting new major features. The important thing is that they're all works in progress — it's good to feel comfortable with their current state when making your purchase. After all, there is no rush.

Just in case, our refund policy allows for a full refund on all games in development within 14 days of purchase." - GOG.COM Refund Policy


I just purchased this game specifically because I like the genre and I love supporting Indie Devs, especially if they are SOLO! I loaded up the game and for me it works and I was pleasantly surprised at what I saw. There is a lot under the hood, I am happy with my purchase.

I am not here to White Knight or Troll the game. I am here to advocate for both The Developer & The Consumer.


I am going to say something that I feel in this day and age 2020 needs to be said. "Caveat Emptor" latin for Buyer Beware! What it means is the consumer has the ultimate responsibility when purchasing anything.

The good news is today we have strong Consumer Protection Laws & thankfully with GOG.COM they have a very generous In Development 14 day return policy.

Please THINK carefully before you buy any game in either Early Acces or In Development. Not all games come with a 14 day return policy. Especially if it is Early Access. Here are the Facts: You as the consumer by buying an Early Access/In Development Game are gambling on said game. Because you are taking a risk by backing a NOT fully released game, you generally get a price break because it is implied your purchase is helping out the Developer of said game to bring to full release. You also have some what of an implied obligation to help test and report bugs and otherwise be part of the community that brings said game into Full Release as close to 100% as possible. Think of this as protecting your investment.

Your impatience with timeframe, development status, etc. It's just YOUR opinion and you own that not the developer. This is where most people get all upset, and rant and rave, etc. If you purchased a fully functional game at Full Release then yes by all means you are entitled to a full refund, etc. But like I said GOG.COM gives you 14 days to try a game out before you are locked in. If the game never reaches full release and either stays in Develpment or Early Access typically you have lost your investment!!!

First & Foremost please for your own sanity and well being, if you can't afford to risk the investment on a game in Early Access or In Development or if you don't have the patience to see it through to Full release then DO NOT BUY THE GAME!!!!

It's really that simple. You are gambling your money on said game and developer.

Thanks for reading my information and Happy Gaming!!

Agree with everything you said. I could get into how many devs HAVE taken advantage of kind souls trying to help the game bypass a greedy publisher and create a great game. GoG has been pretty good about only putting in development games up for sale that are quality or worth the smaller price tag.Have not heard the same about Steam so much... which is why I don't use their service.

I have been playing this game for a couple weeks now and it has a huge potential and quite a lot going on with it even in a 0.485 alpha state (not even half way finished!) It is worth the asking price IMO but more than that this game has the potential to be a space version of Kenshi of sorts or better and even if you are not totally satisfied remember it has a ways to go and even after that I as well as many other might mod stuff in ...who knows :P

There is no release date so play this a bit like a sandbox,have fun with it and tell people about it who like space games and let it sit on the burner.It is being updated every few months which is more than I can say for many of these other games in development for 5 years + now. With enough support the game gets better and release is sooner.

If you really think about it the price of this game is not much of a gamble (20-30$), going to see one 2 hour movie costs the same if you include everything and you are in no way guaranteed to like the film at all, there you get no refunds. Also one trip to a restaurant .... you get my drift.

So for me spending this amount, having already spent way more than 2 hours I consider having gotten my moneys worth already.

I played the game a fair bit on Steam from really early in its development until about a year ago. I purchased it on GOG on the first day that I saw it appear -- was waiting for it. I put it aside for the last year to give it time to mature a bit more (the developer was deep into implementing some big, time consuming systems). I started playing it again this weekend, and think that it's starting to shape up really nicely.

So, I definitely think that it's a valuable early access title. Enough so that I've purchased it twice -- once on Steam and once here.

Uh... ok. Kind of a weird spastic thing to make a thread about, but uh, yeah, thanks I guess.
