Why Early Access?

“We would like to release it to public and let everyone chances to take part in the development and growth of this game.”

“Early Access is expected to last for roughly a minimum of one month. Early Access may extends upon the feedbacks, review, suggestions of communities. We highly appreciate all the involvement of everyone in the development and growth of this game.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“New under-developement features are always disclosed and publicly interacted between us and communities in Steam forums.
