Proč předběžný přístup?

„As the solo developer behind "Neoathlon," I am fueled by a grand vision for what this game can become. This project, born from passion and ambition, extends far beyond its current scope. While it currently thrives as a highly polished, yet compact game, my aspirations for "Neoathlon" reach much further.

Being a student project, there are inherent time constraints that have influenced the development process. Despite these limitations, I am committed to expanding the game's horizons. There's a wealth of features and ideas waiting to be explored and implemented, each aiming to elevate "Neoathlon" beyond its current form.

My journey with "Neoathlon" is one of continuous growth and evolution. I envision a game that not only resonates with its audience but also stands as a testament to what can be achieved with dedication and creativity.

„As I navigate the exciting development phase of "Neoathlon," I want to share my vision for the game's progression and release strategy. My current roadmap includes a few more modes and features that I am eager to introduce, aiming to enrich your racing experience.
