Hello everyone!
With less than two months remaining of 2019, many of you have been rightfully asking what our current plans with Early Access and the Closed Alpha are as well as the schedule regarding them.
Even though we’ve made a lot of progress during the months after the announcement, we’ve not been able to start outside testing as early as we predicted. This means that Starbase will not be Early Access ready in 2019.
Our current focus is getting the Closed Alpha underway as soon as possible. Once the Alpha starts, our plan is to increase the number of its participants in stages. We want to test the game thoroughly in Alpha before going into Early Access to make sure everything works and we’re ready for a large player-base.
As unfortunate as this delay is, we hope the added features and polish will make it worth the extra wait time.
In the meantime, you can follow the development progress of Starbase in the weekly progress notes that we post on the Official Starbase Forums.

How can I be included in the early access?
Have you already joined Starbase Discord server? That is the best channel to follow alpha news. You can join through: http://www.discord.gg/starbase
When: Unfortunately we don’t have a set date for the alpha yet. The schedule depends on a few features that we want to get finished before going into alpha. These are the ship editor, station inventories and company/faction management. As soon as these features are working as intended, we will launch the alpha.
Who: At first we’re going to invite active community members to participate. This means that if you have been active in the community and contributed in a positive way, we may have noticed you. But if you are more of a silent type or a lurker, don’t worry! We’ll be scaling the alpha over time to include more and more people, so you’ll also have a chance to apply for the alpha. We’ll definitely let you know when it’s time, so stay tuned!
EA is coming after the alpha/beta stage and at that time game should be purchasable through Steam. 🙂
now I’m joining in the Discord, I know that is a closed Alpha only for few people and active players, but I want to join a lot, I wish you publish this game as quicker as yuo can
