#SkiJumpBandello · entered 28 Jun 2019#SkiJumpBandello · entered 28 Jun 2019We are still actively developing the game into a much more fully featured release, but we can't say for certain when the release will be. We were supposed to release the game by Christmas 2016, but due to bad health, bad luck and VRUnicorns becoming part of FlatPonies, we had to delay the release and development.read 12 Sep 20266 monthsuntil 25 Dec 20197 years 3 months1444%Overdueby 6 years 9 months

What we deliver within that time span can be strengthened by Early Access success!read 9 Sep 202612–36 months7 years 6 months249%Overdueby 4 years 6 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.
