Hvorfor tidlig adgang?

“LightWave has been a pet (and also P3T) project since 2017. Originally created in a different programming language and engine, scaling up the game at a decent pace needed a big change. Now, with a more powerful engine behind us, we are trying to pin down the feel and flow of LightWave gameplay.

In order to do that we believe the inclusion of the speedrunning community and other platform game lovers in the development process will really help flesh out the game, ensuring that each and every level feels fast and technical while still being possible for a variety of skill levels.”
