Helicopter Gunship DEXJimmy Arcade Limited · entered 1 Dec 2022Helicopter Gunship DEXJimmy Arcade Limited · entered 1 Dec 2022This game will be in Early Access for probably another 12 months. Currently the game has 10 flyable helicopters and their associated weapon systems, 3 terrain types to fly over, a wide range of enemy and allied ground units and a comprehensive random mission generator. The current beta is focused on single "challenge" missions as well as tutorial missions and a complete U.I. re-fresh. I believe in constant updates and engaging with the community via the Steam Forums. I try to publish weekly updates and keep everyone informed about what is happening behind the scenes.read 12 Sep 2026about 12 months3 years 9 months379%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.
