Dlaczego wczesny dostęp?

„WILDLOGICGAMES is a one man team. I'd like to leverage the feedback that Early Access can provide me, as brutal as it could be. The title has already gone through a lot testing and iteration in past testing & feedback. I feel as if it's time to hit the hard hitting feedback.”

Mniej więcej jak długo gra będzie w fazie wczesnego dostępu?

„I like to believe and certainly do aim, for the duration of this current year. However, if there's anything I've learned, it's that this could prove to be longer than expected. The expected duration for early access is 7 to 12 months.”
