Anti Cheat?

What AC is this game going to have? Without a decent AC the game will die a slow death.

Hey there.

We're planning on starting using an anti-cheat 100% when the game's out in Early Access. What kind of anti-cheat? We can't say as of yet what kind, but we'll do something about potential cheaters, rest assured.

Another thing I wanted to quickly mention: I understand that you're trying to point out the importance of having anti-cheat in an online game. However, I believe you could get your message across without describing the worst possible scenario. It's not very encouraging for the team to constantly hear assumptions the game could die a slow death before the game's even been released, if I'm being completely honest. I hope you understand!

Apologies if I came across wrong. The only reason why I asked about anti cheat is because this game looks very like The Cycle Frontier (which I thoroughly enjoyed) only they didn't implement any anti cheat until it was too late, the player base left, the game couldn't survive and they shut the servers down. I don't want that for any team that works so hard to bring these games for us gamers to play.

No sweat.

Yeah, I'm keeping an eye on that Cycle thread. I wanna say that we're taking this very seriously, cause it's in our interests to have good anti-cheat software. We'll reveal more info on that in the future.

lack of anti-cheat didnt kill that game. oversaturation and stronger, longer-standing competition killed it. anti-cheats only slow down anyone who wants to cheat and punishes everyone who doesn't have any intention to.

I cant think of any recent PvP games that dont contain cheaters, even games with multi-million dollar budgets.
Hopefully these devs are able to do what no AAA studios have ever managed to do and make a game that is free of cheaters.
