| ResoniteResonite | We expect roughly 2-3 years of active development to implement features, optimizations and tweaks before we consider the project to be in a polished enough state to take it out of early access. We do not have plans to significantly alter our development cycle after full release and will continue adding new major features and optimizations thanks to the open ended nature of this project.read 14 Sep 2026 | 24–36 months | 2 years 11 months | 98% | On the clockDue this month |
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.
