Каково текущее состояние версии в раннем доступе?

«You will encounter bugs, performance issues, and generally rough edges at this stage of development.
The older Unity version has been replaced with a full rewrite in Unreal Engine 5.

Bird flight simulation has been totally re-written based on real bird flight physics and is in a playable state.
