The Enjenir: The Engineering Physics Building SimulatorPeatyTurf · entered 18 Dec 2023The Enjenir: The Engineering Physics Building SimulatorPeatyTurf · entered 18 Dec 2023The Enjenir was released in December 2023, and still receives continuous updates, patches, improvements, new content etc. which is exactly what Early Access is all about! At Early Access launch, we had a clear vision of what we wanted from a 1.0 fully feature-complete release of The Enjenir will look like, which we had initially estimated 12 months to complete. Well, 12 months passed and we had already gone far above and beyond that initial 1.0 scope! With the addition of a new save system, water/buoyancy physics, actual aerodynamics, an overhaul to the games lighting, Steam Workshop support, lots of brand new levels, new mechanics, components optimisations and so so much more! The game is basically better than the target scope we had planned for the original 1.0 release! Long story short - we absolutely love developing The Enjenir, and it's been a joy to work on and add all these cool new mechanics. The game is basically our baby! As we continue to add new content and improve the game, we are still making sales, which helps us continue that development and ensure we make the game the best it can be. But when is the 1.0 release? Well, as much as we'd love to - it's not realistic to think we can indefinitely work on The Enjenir forever (unfortunately!) We have not decided on a precise date for that yet, but that day is approaching. Once we have decided the 1.0 release date, we'll be sure to share that info with you guys on here in on the community forum / discord / tiktok etc. when the time comes. Until then, feel free to jump right in and enjoy the game while it's in Early Access!read 11 Sep 2026about 12 months2 years 9 months273%Overdueby 21 months
ARK: Survival AscendedStudio Wildcard · entered 26 Oct 2023ARK: Survival AscendedStudio Wildcard · entered 26 Oct 2023We're expecting to be in Early Access until the end of 2024. That said, as we get farther down our development path, we'll share continued updates that help to define a more specific timeline for bringing the game out of early access.read 10 Sep 202614 monthsuntil 31 Dec 20242 years 11 months247%Overdueby 21 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.
