| Beat Aim - Rhythm FPS TrainerBeat Aim - Rhythm FPS Trainer | Depends on how well game is going to be perceived and supported but don't worry I like the game and the concept behind it so much that I'm going to work on it forever :). With that being said BeatAim will be getting better infinitely but I plan to release it out of Early Access after progression system being fully done (1-3 months) or multiplayer (~5 months).read 10 Sep 2026 | 1–3 months | 6 years 10 months | 2748% | Overdueby 6 years 7 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.
