Why Early Access?

“I feel allowing the indie gaming community at large to test in-game mechanics and report feedback will allow for the best product available rather then behind the scenes development. This game is in a very tight niche of the gaming market and will only do well with player involvement in the development process.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“It is always best to overestimate release dates then under estimate we believe for all features and game modes and full Steam integration as well as including things that might go wrong or delay the development process it will likely take a maximum of 4 years, around Summer 2023~, before we are out of early access.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“The game will have a full single player and local multiplayer mode implemented. All current features will be fully polished and all expected features will be completed in full. Full Steam integration and the ability to use Steam accounts for logins. Minor bugs may remain which will be fixed post full release. The full release will also include a copy of the games full server source code which will allow player modified servers to be developed for an alternative experience.
