Melonfish Posted May 20, 2023 Share Posted May 20, 2023 Massively early doors and it's likely something being discussed but what do we reckon? Will we see this released as a complete game or the main flight mechanics and a couple of planes as early access then progressively updated? This seems the norm these days so I was curious.

Trooper117 Posted May 20, 2023 Share Posted May 20, 2023 Good question... it will be interesting to find out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HerrMurf Posted May 20, 2023 Share Posted May 20, 2023 I can't imagine, in the modern track of flight sim development, there won't be an early access period. It makes sense for the producer from both a revenue stream and marketing/generating hype. Not to mention community testing and bug squashing perspectives. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Executive Producer Skystreak Productions Jason_Williams Posted May 20, 2023 Executive Producer Skystreak Productions Share Posted May 20, 2023 I’m a big fan of early access if things are for sure going to get done. I’ve used it to great results in my old position as we all remember. It also depends on what we are looking to do and how we are funded. Right now I don’t have an answer on how that will quite shake out. Jason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure there's others besides myself wiling to chuck money at you without a second thought, either way I hope you get what you need for this project it's something I think the community has been crying out for for some time. I appreciate the response though, I know you're innundated with questions atm, thank you. 1 Quote "The trouble with doing something right the first time is that nobody appreciates how difficult it was" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C-87 Posted May 20, 2023 Share Posted May 20, 2023 I’d support a crowd-funding effort. I’ve been waiting way too long for something like this and personally wouldn’t have qualms about investing it this sim’s future ahead of time. Just my personal opinion obviously.

LuftManu Posted May 20, 2023 Share Posted May 20, 2023 I would love to support both Crowfunding or Early access if needed. I am sure that with good development info and being open of what we are getting, you guys will get excellent results.

DBFlyguy Posted May 20, 2023 Share Posted May 20, 2023 (edited) If it gets to point where there is just a map, a flyable wildcat and flyable zero and a couple AI assets to show solid progress, I'd happily buy into the Early Access.

JediMaster Posted May 23, 2023 Share Posted May 23, 2023 EA is a form of crowdfunding, as are preorders. It's all about your point of view as a wise old Jedi once said. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CG_Justin Posted May 24, 2023 Share Posted May 24, 2023 I will support it either way, just in hopes of eventually getting a Ki-84. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
