Wie lange wird dieses Spiel ungefähr den Early Access-Status haben?

„Shadow Touched is a labor of love, and my goal is to ensure it reaches a level of content and polish that both I and the community can be proud of. While game development is not easy, and unexpected challenges may appear, I aim to transition Shadow Touched out of Early Access within a reasonable timeframe.

Approximate Timeline:

At this point, I anticipate that the game will remain in Early Access for roughly a year. However, it's crucial to emphasize that this is a flexible estimate, and my primary focus is on delivering a complete and polished experience rather than adhering strictly to a predetermined timeline.

While we are on this journey together, I will keep the community informed through regular updates, sharing progress, and milestones achieved. Your feedback during Early Access will be important in shaping the trajectory of Shadow Touched, ensuring that it develops into a fully realized and satisfying gaming experience.

Thank you for your patience, understanding, and support as we work together to refine Shadow Touched.“
