In my update last month I set a summer release date for the early access version. Much to my, and I'm sure everyone's, surprise, this has been the perfect fire under my ass to push me to make some serious progress.

I've been forging ahead and will surely hit this goal, probably doing so before the end of April; However as I've been writing the early access ending and scoping out the remaining of the game, I'm not sure I'm ready to release the early access build to the broader public. I have my inner circle of testers I will keep it to for now, mainly because in order to reach the early access ending you need to essentially invest 2 dozen hours, abandon friends, and leave quests unresolved for a "bad ending" and I don't want that to be the only thing available while I continue working.

If anyone really wants to be an early access tester, I guess we can call it a closed beta, let me know and we can discuss it, but for now I want to keep release limited to those committed to helping me shape the latter half of the game and steer the execution of the good endings with thorough feedback.
