FaelandTalegames · entered 5 Dec 2023FaelandTalegames · entered 5 Dec 2023We are close to the finish line. Early Access already includes the first five chapters out of six, and the final chapter is feature complete. We are now focused on polish and preparing the multiplatform release. Early Access started in December 2023, and as a small team, we would rather take the extra time needed than rush version 1.0. Our current goal is to leave Early Access with the full 1.0 release, alongside the console versions. We will share updated release timing once the remaining release steps are confirmed.read 9 Sep 20261 monthuntil 31 Dec 20232 years 9 months3334%Overdueby 2 years 8 months

DEMONIAC WORDSOur Pencils · entered 27 May 2023DEMONIAC WORDSOur Pencils · entered 27 May 2023Subjectively, I hope that in 12 months I can have the courage to say that DEMONIAC WORDS is already in its official version. I hope to present users with more content which I think will benefit them as soon as possible. But as a solo developer, time and energy to work on it has always been very limited, neither do I have enough money to hire high level technical people to help with the production. I can't even write code, but I will still persist in developing the subsequent content of DEMONIAC WORDS.read 14 Sep 2026about 12 months3 years 4 months330%Overdueby 2 years 4 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.
