Spiritus Astrum has now been in Early Access for a week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The launch was somewhat rocky, to say the least. There were substantially more bugs in the game than I realised, and I picked up some negative reviews and comments because of that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Once I discovered the issues that players were having with the game, I decided that I would make the Early Access period free, rather than paid, and I made an announcement to this effect on steam. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Unfortunately, Steam support has told me that I cannot change the price of a newly released game for at least 30 days, and so the game will remain paid until then.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On the plus side, the community response has been extremely supportive, with a large number of people buying the game even after I announced that it would become free just because they wanted to support me! I find this very encouraging, and I am very grateful for this support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The focus now is to continue to work on the game, and fix the bugs that have been reported.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The most common issues reported seem to be issues with logging in. These were caused by a combination of confusing UI design and the game server being blocked by users firewall and network security settings. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
There were also some issues with saving and loading not working correctly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I am confident that most of these issues have been fixed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There is still quite a lot of work to do, but the game is in Early Access, and I am confident that if the community continues to report bugs and issues then I can solve them quickly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
