Hey there! Hope everything is going well with you.
We choose to postpone the game's Early Access release to a TBA date for several reasons we will list below, we'll keep you updated about that, but the game will still release this year (and very soon!)
The choice was made so we have more time to deliver a more polished product and, specially, because we want to make sure that we have a proper framework and workflow ready to listen to feedback and make frequent updates and fixes afterwards, when the Early Access gets released.
Overall, we want you to have a better experience in the end, and we sincerely think this decision will end up being the best one for the game!
If you have any questions or just want to receive some news, you can reach us through Steam or Twitter, where we are most active.
Thank you! Ian.
