The Political ProcessVerlumino Studios LLC · entered 22 Nov 2019The Political ProcessVerlumino Studios LLC · entered 22 Nov 2019I will probably keep the game in early access as long as new features are regularly being added to the game. My estimate is approximately one year in early access, but that could change depending on how many suggestions I receive from the community.read 10 Sep 2026about 12 months6 years 10 months681%Overdueby 5 years 10 months
X-POINTAndrey Scanarri (Scanarri) · entered 26 Feb 2019X-POINTAndrey Scanarri (Scanarri) · entered 26 Feb 2019Early Access will continue for several more years. Development progresses deliberately, without rushing decisions at the expense of depth or quality. Players who require quick completion, immediate results, or a fixed release date should be aware that X-POINT evolves at its own pace and does not adapt to impatient expectations.read 10 Sep 202636–72 months7 years 7 months126%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.
