Почему ранний доступ?

«The game is in early access because this is a one man operation and will need continues help from anyone willing to test the project. I need to test the fundamentals of the controls and game play before I commit to paying artists and animators. This is a mecha shooter which emphases control of your mech through customizing various parts to get a specific feel for your character. This means the more Part elements I add (without over complicating it) the more diverse builds will be available. This will all require throughout testing and time of which the best judges are gamer themselves.»
