Grargar: Heh. The game that was released as an alpha on Steam before it even launched its Early Access program, is finally complete.
Pheace: To be fair, the game was worth playing years ago and they've been doing monthly updates ever since (which were great fun to watch)
This, the game was addictive and worth playing from early alphas, for the most part each release has been adding more features, but none of the features in the last year or year and a half felt like they couldn't have been left off. The game reached the point where the developers could be forgiven for just fixing the bugs and releasing at least a year ago.
I think that the continued development has more to do with the fact that they've continued to receive money from people buying in on it and not being pressured to complete just to start earning money on it.
Distance is in a similar situation. That project officially was supposed to be delivered years ago, but they keep adding on new features and expanding the vision. But, because the game is both playable and fun as an alpha, there doesn't seem to be much pressure for them to exit alpha and make it a final release.
Matruchus: Thanks for the good news. One question though - Will the linux build be available also?
B0SC0: Yep - We'll have all 3 :)
That's good news. I doubt I'll get it here as I've already bought it, but this game definitely belongs on GOG.
