Renryuu: AscensionNaughty-Netherpunch · entered 30 Nov 2021Renryuu: AscensionNaughty-Netherpunch · entered 30 Nov 2021Renryuu will leave Early Access when the main story is done. The biggest part of the story is done, and is advanced in a so called "time skip" phase, which advances the time in the world by several years through multiple acts. After the time skip, the big final of the story will take place, and finish the story. The goal is to finish the main story by the end of 2026.read 12 Sep 20265 years 1 monthuntil 31 Dec 20264 years 9 months94%On the clock4 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.
