Power Network TycoonDavid Made This · entered 12 Feb 2024Power Network TycoonDavid Made This · entered 12 Feb 2024I plan to stay in Early Access until Power Network Tycoon reaches its full potential. While I don't have a fixed timeline, my goal is to launch the full version when I feel confident that it provides a comprehensive, engaging, and polished experience. It will not include every possible Power Engineering simulation known to man, but through the updates and community feedback, new features and enhancements will be considered and integrated until Power Network Tycoon becomes the game it was meant to be. My early estimate is one year of Early Access based off my current understanding of the game, however it should be noted I also work as a Power Engineer have a high standard for this Power Engineering game.the store says it leaves Early Access on 30 Sep 2026about 12 months2 years 7 months259%Overdueby 19 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.
