Any Chance of Getting this into Early Access?

[LightFootLee]

this is one of the very few games i would pay for in Early Access. Any chance of that happening? [please say yes :-) ]

They plan on it going into Early Access, later this year I think.

We're looking to put a couple more builds out in the future before we hit Early Access on Steam late this year. We're aiming to finalize the game in April 2018 for PC and have it release on the PS4 and maybe Switch in June of 2018.

Yes, we're aiming to release on EA during October. We'll have 5 or more areas open by then and 20+ hours of gameplay.

I just has a thought aboout EA. Personally the smoothest EA i've ever seen on Steam was done by Subnautica. What I meen by that is, beacuse of the quality and frequency of the updates while in EA, the game never really felt like an EA title; sure there were some bugs still but there are fully released games that have bugs, [looking @ you Mass Effect Andromida which is a game I LOVE but WOW it was rough for a while.] Anyway, if your still with me then here is my point; Your Demo doesn't really feel like a demo, would it be possible when you do release the game to EA that you do something similiar to the afore mentioned Subnautica release? [which BTW is one of the games i bought in EA, for the record]

Regarding EA, when we enter EA, it'll be around Alpha 4.5. From that point on, we plan to do at least 1 major update per month, with smaller ones spaced in between. We'll try to make each version as bug-free as possible.

What I ment is there are some games out there in EA that just don't cut it, [Winds of Trade.] the updates were not useful or often; and what they did release did nothiing to help the game IMO. it might be different now, but based on what i saw they had a very long way to go before they were ready for release even in EA. That game should have stayed in DEV way longer. It was so bad IMO that even when the full game is released, the only way I would play it is if i got it for free; probably not even then TBO.
