Everything in the StarRupture Early Access Roadmap

Currently, developer Creepy Jar has broken down what is expected to arrive during the game's Early Access period into four distinct segments:

Ongoing improvements
features
material
Quality of life

At the time of writing, nothing mentioned in the roadmap has a date or version number attached to it. As such, it is currently unclear which will arrive first and how long players will have to wait for the first drop. Anyway, here's what's covered in each section.

Ongoing improvements

While StarRupture While currently very stable and many of its mechanics and systems work well, developer Creepy Jar still feels there is room for improvement in the following areas as they work towards the 1.0 release.

Game performance
Construction Mechanics
Combat mechanics
the world
UI/UX

For the most part, it is clear what improvements might look like in some of these areas. Minor tweaks to systems, menus, or balance control all fall under this. What remains a bit unclear is the continued improvement we might see in the world. This could be related to a world with more hidden secrets, such as a cave system or dead bodies, or it could simply mean an improvement in the visual fidelity of Arcadia-7.

features

These are the features that Creepy Jar wants to add during the early access period, including some of the most hotly-requested ones from the fanbase so far, including controller support, custom game mode options with adjustable difficulty, and new crafting features and combat mechanics.

Controller support
New building features
New combat mechanics
New exploration mechanics

While there is currently no word on a focus of Steam Deck compatibility StarRupture Early access roadmap, it may come as part of controller support. Creepy Jar's previous game, Green Hell, has been confirmed for a Steam deck, so it looks like it will be coming at some point in the future.

material

When it comes to the content announced in the Early Access roadmap, it's all pretty straightforward. It can be distilled to 'the addition of everything that is already there'. This should give players who completed everything in this initial release a reason to return when future updates drop.

As part of the early access roadmap, Creepy Jar also hinted at some major additions coming as part of the 1.0 version.

cold wave
A new biome
End the game
More story elements
Achievements

The Frost Wave is the most interesting, suggesting that along with the standard heat wave from the cold that players currently experience in the game, we could also see a cold option coming. For now, we'll have to wait and see how it all plays out.
