Virus Situation Update and Release Date Info
Hey everyone!
Sorry for the silence lately we know that we promised an April Early Access release, however while not directly some of our team members were heavily affected by the virus situation. This significantly hurt our workflow and put us behind our schedule.
We're currently trying to figure out a new release date and we will inform you as soon as we can.
Next and possibly the final test date will also be announced along with this, so if you want to participate and play the game early please join our Discord Server!
In the meantime here is some things that we have to keep in mind to give a little bit more context.
Our Workflow and the Remaining Work
Of Course the first thing to consider is finishing the game. Although there's not many major work left to be done, there is still a lot of work to be done.(90% of developing a game is the final 10%) We need to schedule everything again and in a more flexible way given the situation.
The Virus' Effect on the Steam Store
As you might've realized there is constantly sales from big studios in the Steam Store in response to people being stuck at home, although we too enjoy this as players as developers releasing a game while the Store is in such a state(traffic being "hogged" by big studios) might be a death sentence.
Upcoming Steam Sales
On top of the constant Home Page sales there are a couple of major Steam Sales on their way too, we have to avoid these too since again; we need every bit of traffic we can get to survive.
"If You're Going Early Access anyway, Why Not Just Release the Game in This Early State?"
Well we don't want to be one of those guys, we want the Early Access package to be as complete as possible. Full Release version should be almost just a content update(along with the bug and balance fixes of course)
Thank you all so much for your patience,
