The Early Access ends today. I consider that this game offers almost everything a complete game has to offer.
Aurora Dusk is still imperfect. There are still bugs and other problems in the game. The end of the Early Access does not mean the end of the game development. It will get other updates in the future.

The Early Access lasted almost 3 years. During this period, the game was updated with many major additions:
- the multiplayer mode.
- a new campaign adventure.
- the ability to control multiple characters.
- an editor of artificial intelligences.
- the city centres.
- siege weapons.
- cows ^^.

- perks.
- 50 new items.
And many more.

- DEMI_GOD achievement has been replaced by NO_LEVEL_CAP.
