DEMONIAC WORDSOur Pencils · entered 27 May 2023DEMONIAC WORDSOur Pencils · entered 27 May 2023Subjectively, I hope that in 12 months I can have the courage to say that DEMONIAC WORDS is already in its official version. I hope to present users with more content which I think will benefit them as soon as possible. But as a solo developer, time and energy to work on it has always been very limited, neither do I have enough money to hire high level technical people to help with the production. I can't even write code, but I will still persist in developing the subsequent content of DEMONIAC WORDS.read 14 Sep 2026about 12 months3 years 4 months330%Overdueby 2 years 4 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.
