We have set a date for Maelstrom’s Early Access release! The plan is to release next month, in April. The trailer below shows what you can expect!
https://youtu.be/QbAvF_ZWWCk Make sure to add the game to your wishlist and if you would like to give us extra support you can back our new Kickstarter campaign! We promised backers of our last Kickstarter that we would return, and so we have. In addition to a discount, backers will be able to join beta tests to be held each weekend until launch and enjoy other rewards from ship skins to artwork.
When you back us on Kickstarter, you will receive a Steam key for the beta. Then you just need to check our playtest schedule below and dive in on those dates between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. PST:
Why are we holding this Kickstarter when we already have plans for an EA release?
First, as we said above we promised that we would hold another Kickstarter campaign. Second, we want to have Maelstrom launch in the best shape possible, and with a live community from the very start. Internal beta testing can never be as quite as complete as letting regular players try things out, and we wanted to let dedicated fans help us make the game as good as it can be.
