Space Dancehajo · entered 10 Jul 2019Space Dancehajo · entered 10 Jul 2019For balancing the play experience, we need data from roughly 1000 play runs. This means that if 50 people join our early access and try 20 times each, then we will have enough data to finalize the balancing. We estimate to reach this goal by end of August. Once the balancing is OK, we plan to add at least 4 more levels, meaning more songs, more enemy types and special area effects. Every level will take roughly 1 month for us to compose or license the music, design the enemies, and to set a baseline difficulty. Afterwards, we'll need some play runs for each new level to finish balancing. This leaves us with the following estimated timeline: 1 fully balanced level: End of August 2019 1 playable level + 1 fully balanced level: End of September 2019 1 playable level + 2 fully balanced levels: End of October 2019 1 playable level + 3 fully balanced levels: End of November 2019 1 playable level + 4 fully balanced levels: End of December 2019 5 fully balanced levels: End of January 2020 Accordingly, the estimated end of early access will be January 2020.read 30 Sep 2026about 1 month7 years 3 months8749%Overdueby 7 years 2 months

A game is in Early Access when the store lists it among its genres; the clock starts on the day the ledger saw it enter or, for a game that launched into Early Access, on the release date the store prints. The promise is the developer’s own questionnaire answer, kept word for word; only ranges and single figures are compared, open answers are listed as open, and answers the parser could not read say so. Graduations are recorded from 3 Sep 2026, so earlier years undercount them. A game whose questionnaire has not been read yet says “not read yet” under No promise (how). Data by SteamPeaks.com.
