We are not able really to estimate the precise date yet, it's a work in progress :)

Ok if you need someone to test your game I would happily volunteer

To be fair, they're working on a couple of games at the same time.
(Ship Builder Simulator, and I Am Your President)

If they're a small dev team... then yeah, it would be tricky for them to call when they can release them.
Especially with the pandemic going on.

EDIT: Actually, I stand corrected.
One of the devs (named Intuition) explained a couple years ago that President Studio made up of 3 or 4 smaller teams, and each one is working on a game at the same time.
(1st team is on I Am Your President, 2nd is on Ship Builder Simulator, 3rd on Crime Scene Cleaner, etc).

Point still stands if SBS's team is a small team, though. It'd still take them a long while.

I want to make a correction on a part of what you said. I do programming for a living and our team is 100% remote, our work is not affected at all, and we have virtual meetings, brainstorm, share screens etc no problem. I know many business owners (even Gabe Newel) like to suggest workers spend a large amount of time in brainstorming sessions that are not possible to do virtually but on average that is horse c.

in my view, game dev should not be affected by remote working, but small team and more specifically my gut tells me the whole 'comming soon' was not the devs decision but the publisher

speaking personally and only personally, I default to never unless its already out.
so yeah posts 2021 to be on the safe side.

Just seeing a March 2021 response is good enough for me. Here's hoping.

We shall see if 2021 is still possible but the waiting certainly won't last to 2031 :)

Well that narrows it down to 100 games on wishlist that ive forgotten about at this point. Shoveling this one on pile.

I had a look and I added the game to my wishlist on 6/15/2019. At that time it already said that it is now soon available on steam...I'm actually just here to see if I'm the only one who thinks that it will never be released. It is now flying out of my wishlist, because even if it eventually goes into early access, I have no desire to then wait another 10 years until it is ready.

Hi DopEx; I can assure you that the game is still in development and very soon you'll hear more about it :)

The game is being worked on and more specific information appears each month in the devblogs. Unfortunately, I can't give you a date, as not even the devs know when exactly we can expect the game to come out.

No updates or news since July, a 2021 release date that got pushed to 2022 and now at the end of 2022 is still TBA and an Indie developer with no releases under their belt attempting to release 4 games at once... I don't see this game coming any time soon.
