Hvorfor tidlig tilgang?

«There is a long list of features that are still not implemented in the game. Players have been wanting this game to be on Steam for over a year now and it's about that time I delivered.
With Early Access, I am able to deliver on that promise, fully develop the game to utilize the Steam platform features, and complete the game.

Right now, naturally, the game will contain a lot of bugs. The game is being offloaded with features that are missing and what the community has requested. Of course, during the process game-breaking bugs will be fixed and things will be tweaked so the game is playable. Finally, after everything has been added, I will be moving on to optimization, killing as many bugs and issue that has been reported.

Hopefully, with the support of the community, we can continue making this game into something special and fun for everyone.»

Hvor lenge antas det at dette spillet vil være i tidlig tilgang?

«In 2023, the project files were unusable, so I am currently in the process of rewriting everything. Unfortunately. this means getting out of early access might take a little longer. The new expected date is 2026 or so, if not sooner. The time will be spent, optimizing, and adding all the features necessary for the base game. It will also allow me to continue implementing multiplayer.
If need be, I might extend the date needed to leave Early Access. I want to polish this title before a official release.»
