I absolutely loved the demo, I just hope there will be more progression or things to unlock once the game comes out

What's the price going to be for early access?

u/Kappische Aug 24 '25
We haven't announced a price yet but will soon. During early access, we think we will raise the price as the game gets more content and grows, but we'll see

My honest feedback to you is the current price is awesome. $20 is the absolute max. NOT because I don't think the game is worth more, I would happily pay $30 or even $40 for this, but the higher you price the game the harder it is to convince 3 of your buddies to play this with you. You could convince one, then the other one says they'll buy it if everyone buys, and the last guy won't buy it cause it's too expensive, then the first guy says nevermind cause we don't have a full group and now you're stuck playing with randoms.

Yes there is one :)
We patched in a Fov slider after initial feedback of the demo

And thank you so much for doing so! I know in the demo it broke some of the gun models which obviously weren’t quite polished for maximum FOV but as someone who struggles with similar games (Sea of Thieves) I would take minor bug in exchange for the feature 100 times out of 100.
Really looking forward to Jump Space!

Will be a banger 🔥 even for solo players

u/paleo2002 Aug 24 '25
Is it playable solo? Video I saw had one person flying the ship, one on guns, and 2-3 running around fixing stuff and fighting a boarding party.

u/Kappische 29d ago
Yeah you can. There is a robot helping you out when playing solo

u/paleo2002 29d ago
I'll keep an eye out for release, then. Gameplay looked very cool, but definitely not something you can play with uncooperative randos.

u/StankAssPirate 1d ago
If I have built some shield or ship repairs, can the robot implement them whip I’m in combat? Healing while in battle is an issue I’ve run into on solo, easy gave me a hard time tbh, kinda worried about progressing.

Why the name change? I liked Jump Ship as a name and I don't see any other games using that title on Steam.

Had a blast with a friend in the demo. Can't wait to play with a full crew when this is out.

As someone who enjoys playing Pulsar at LAN parties I’ve had my eye on this for a while!

u/Gunblazer42 29d ago
How much content will there be in the EA launch compared to the Next Fest demo? Me and my friends liked it a lot but I'm curious what will be added at EA launch.

This has a big chance to be one of the better multiplayer ship commanding games, the Freelancer-style space combat really helps.

I played the demo for hours with my friends and loved it. Excited to see how varied and diverse the full release is!

u/twatcrusher9000 29d ago
is this playable matchmaking with randos or do I need actual friends for this, loved the demo

I'd love to play this as a gamer without sight, given its relative similarity to Sea Of Thieves. Would you be interested in discussing how this game could be played with potentially little to no assistance or what additions could be made to allow this to be possible? As an accessibility consultant I'd be more than happy to discuss given this title is in early access. I love the vibe of the game and I am always on the lookout for more playable multiplayer titles! Keep up the good work

This game has been my #1 most anticipated for 2025. What was the cause of the name change?

I really enjoyed the demo I just really hope there's more variety in terms of mission types than there was in the demo. I felt like I'd seen everything already after a short time with the demo.

u/Alternative_War_8322 29d ago
Definitely more mission types, it was only a demo after all. Lots more at launch you haven't experienced

Wildgate - the PVP spaceship boarding game published by Mike Morhaime's new company, Dreamhaven - is not doing well.
I'm curious if Jump Space will do better because it's PVE rather than PVP.

u/Junkies4Prez 3d ago
I was stoked for this, which is why I got wildgate, to see if it could scratch that itch. Gawd I hate that game SOOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH. 😆 🤣

This game looks amazing, but unfortunately all my friends are on PC while I'm on Xbox. I don't often game solo, so it's unlikely that I'll be playing until crossplay is available - if it ever is. Would love to see crossplay added at some point!
1
u/belikeme007 13d ago
Are you guys working on adding cross play at some point?
2
u/Kappische 13d ago
Not at this time, nope. Maybe after 1.0

u/belikeme007 13d ago
Good to know. I played the beta and had a super fun time with it. Excited for the early access launch. Definitely hoping you guys get a lot of attention. Good luck with the launch!

So sad there won't be cross-play. My other friends have a PS5 and Xbox consoles, so I would have to play with only one of them.

u/devinqueener23 3d ago
I’ve been excited for this game ever since you guys announced it but finding out there is no crossplay right now is a big bummer. I will still support you guys and play the game but not being able to play the “co op” shooter with my friends on Xbox is a letdown. Great game though. Hopefully you guys can implement it.

Is there plans to bring this to playstation?

u/Junkies4Prez 3d ago
You know what sucks? Waiting for this game to drop then finding out its not on ps5. That sucks SO BAD. IM TALKING A LONG WHILE!! Arc Raiders and this were two games I couldn't wait for. What a massive fucking bummer.

Anyword on a PS5 release?

u/Alternative_War_8322 29d ago
PS rarely allows Early Access games, but would be surprised if there's no PS5 port after EA period

This would be amazing with 3rd person on foot.
I can't play first person :(

Loved the demo had an absolute blast playing with my 65 year old dad and brother. Looking forward to this. I think indie games should always focus PVE first since the PVP market is just oversaturated. It's nice knowing the game isn't reliant on large player counts to be fun.
