Hi There,
Space of Darkness has been 1 year in Early Access.
We released the game tooo early, in a bad state trough Early Access.
We realized that it was a mistake. There are countless Early Access games which are not evolving, we didn't wanted to end up like this. That's why we've decided to continue working on this game.
We learned very much in this time, you can find the progress below in this announcement.
Now it is time, we're going to leave Early Access.
That does not mean, that there are no more updates!
Why Free To Play?
We want people to play our game without spending money on it, this will give us more feedback from more people, which will help us to improve it more!
Future Plans
Still working on Space of Darkness, we'll Never Release a game in Early Access state again! And using the experience to create better games in the Future.
The Progress
1. First Prototype (was available on itch.io)(Steam greenlight version)
