Cambell’s Oddity BoxCambell James Smith · entered 3 Mar 2026Cambell’s Oddity BoxCambell James Smith · entered 3 Mar 2026I currently plan on six months or so. Though that is very flexible. Updates will likely continue indefinitely, but within that time frame the game should have enough content and polish to feel like a complete product. At that point, it would be something I’d be genuinely happy to put on a disc and sell as a physical release.read 10 Sep 2026about 6 months6 months106%Overdueby 2 weeks

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.
