Early Access Review
Amazing game and hard to believe this is Early Access! Updates come regularly and well worth getting into this!

-update-
This was originally a review made back shortly after its release to Steam. I have no idea why it says that it was written in May of this year. Steam Glitch...

Please remember, this game is NOT final. There are some things in the game that the Devs have said in the past will likely NOT be in the final game.

Lately (May period of 2015) the communication from the Devs have slowed down with delays of their latest release but don't sweat it. They have been giving us regular updates of the progress to this release even if it isn't very wordy. It has been enough to let us know they haven't abandoned this like some are thinking. TOO much effort in the past has been shown to prove this is a project they will see until it is finished.

No, contrary to Gully's belief I am not paid in any way to say any of this. This is simply how I feel about this game. Well written, regular updates (and have been), Devs have been giving communication updates even if they are brief of what is going on.

The Forums here are not the best to find answers and such. Go to Pathea's website and to their community forums. There you will find basic help in the general section, advanced help in the ISO creation and sharing section, Bug reports (remember this is EARLY ACCESS not even BETA) where you can and PLEASE DO report any bugs or add to any reports of bugs you have so it helps them track down the complex bugs, and simply other unrelated chat as well. The Devs don't often respond in the forums but it has been proven they do read them as some changes in the game came from the suggestion forums and simply discussions between groups of players in the general chat.

David, I have no intentions of being a troll, As you have seen Steam said your review was recent like this week. It makes no sense in the context of what has been happening. I fully understand what an EA is, why do people think nobody except themselves know what an EA is?

Gully, quit being a troll. This is an EARLY ACCESS game. I've been playing this game from before it was released to Steam. The game HAS had regular updates up until my review. It is not unsurprising that the latest has been delayed several times. The game on each release becomes more and more complex to code. With complexity comes the ease of unexpected errors that once you fix it creates more errors. This is the nature of programming. The communication has been regular about the delay and what more are they suppose to write about it, a book?

I'll admit I haven't been on the forums as of late. The communication of the delays have been enough for me to know what is going on and I have been waiting patiently for the next release push. It will come when it is ready. This is the nature of an Early Access game. It has delays, it has set backs, it has coding that seemed great in the beginning but is later removed before release to Beta or even Finished.

Have you been paid to write this review? I'd urge you to read both the discussion pages here and Pathea's own page. the latest update is extremely late and communication between Dev's and players is literally 2 or 3 lines a week. It is a great game with massive potential, however your review does not sound like the game I'm playing or waiting on to get updated.
