Why Early Access?

“Our team has been diligently working on this game for quite some time and would like to continue developing it, as our team feels that we can bring more to the table. We have brought it to a point where we are proud enough to release it but want to still keep at it. We believe that with the support from the community, we can crank the game a lot higher. We would love to involve the community in our vision of the game. Their feedback and ideas are, and will stay, very valuable in the process of making the game a better version of itself. ”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“While it's challenging to predict the exact duration, as it depends on various factors being community feedback and the amount of first pass extras we would like to add, we are committed to delivering a polished and feature-rich experience. Our goal is to reach version 1.0 by mid-2027, and we will continue to work closely with the community to ensure that we meet and exceed your expectations.”
