(And likely more) Please be aware: 1, As the sole developer of the game, there are things in my life that may happen to delay the game development significantly. This is just an approximate estimation. 2, The end of early access does not change much. The game will keep updating to the end.read 14 Sep 2026about 5 years4 years 9 months95%On the clock3 months left

However, since the launch of Early Access I've realized the previous timeline was overly ambitious, leading to an updated estimate. Post-launch, you can still expect ongoing development, but updates will be larger and less frequent as we focus on substantial content and feature additions.read 13 Sep 20266 years 5 monthsuntil 31 Dec 20275 years 1 month79%On the clock16 months left

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.
