What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“You know, I've been working on this game all alone for too long without getting much feedback from actual players who would be interested in such games, and I've reached a point where the game is in a playable state, and with the help of player feedback I think I could improve it and make it a much better game for the full release.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Anything from 6 months to 6 years. I want this thing out as soon as possible, but as a part time solo dev it's quite hard for me to quickly make progress and there could be many unexpected bumps during development. That said, considering the pace of development so far and the scope of the game, I think it's closer to the 6 months than the 6 years.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“It is planned to have more content, like more weapons, perks, abilities, battle scenarios and stuff like these. I also want to improve balancing, sound design, QoL, and add a couple more features like achievements, cloud saving, and the such.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The game is playable from start to finish and contains all of the features that are in the description. In it's current state the it could be played for quite a few hours and has enough to be engaging, but I'd like to expand upon it content wise. QoL might leave some to be desired, but it's enjoyable. The sounds and visuals get their job done, but could always be improved of course.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“Right now the plan is to keep the current price for 1.0 as well. If the game grows in scope though, or proves too difficult to produce, I might bump the price a bit. I would of course give proper notice before I'd do anything of the sorts.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“I'm accepting anything from bug reports, to feature or any other kind of suggestions. Folks can give feedback through the in-game Feedback button, Discord, or the Steam Community page.”

About This Game


Rustwing is a twin-stick shooter roguelike, where you play as a spaceship pilot sent on a mission though habited space. You navigate through sections of space, explore unseen star systems, and encounter different factions of the scattered humanity. As you fly from star system to star system, you encounter different kinds of combat situations, friendly stations, and strange anomalies.

The world


After many conflicts and hardships, humanity united under the banner of the Federation. After rapid colonization, humanity got scattered across the stars. Unity did not last long though. As the Federation expanded, maintaining order on the fringes of habited space became harder and harder. Differences in beliefs and interests, led to the formation of many different factions. Now space is filled with battle fields of all kinds. These are the battlefields you must fight your way through.

Battles


On your journey you encounter many different combat situations, and have to complete different kinds of objectives.

Navigation


Every run there's a randomly generated star map, you can explore. In each star system there's either a battle, a friendly station or some kind of anomaly to be discovered. Space is separated into sectors. Your journey can take place across 5 of these different sectors, of which you have to go through 3 in order to complete a run. At the end of each sector a boss battle takes place. Your path is randomly generated, however your destination sector is set.

Upgrades


On your travels you get many different power ups. You can customize your weaponry by obtaining new equipment. Your ship can be equipped with two automatic side weapons, one manually operated primary weapon, and a special ability, that can impact a battle in many ways.
