Night&ScapeMatou Studio · entered 24 Jul 2023Night&ScapeMatou Studio · entered 24 Jul 2023We don’t have any visibility on this subject at the moment. Maybe by the end of the year, we’ll have a game that’s mature enough to warrant a release, or maybe we’ll need more time to get there. What’s more, we are not ruling any possibility that we might come up with more great ideas in the meantime.read 9 Sep 20265 monthsuntil 31 Dec 20233 years 2 months754%Overdueby 2 years 9 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.
