I wanted the game to be released by the end of 2022. A lot of things happened that required extra time and I could either go with Early Access soon or move the release date into future.
Planned date is 2023Q2. It is a three month window and while I have the work planned with extra buffer to land on a precise date there, I know that some of the work may take less time, some may require more time. I should announce the release date the closer we will be to the actual release.
One important thing is that the game, as I plan to release it, is going to tell a complete story. But that's not where the game's just going to end. Besides the story I plan to have an endless mode, mission/quest based with full exploration that eventually should be much bigger than the main mode. Consider the main mode a story that stands on its own legs but also is an introduction to something else.
Until then, the game development continues and preview builds (that contain everything added so far to the game) are released quite regularly (unless big changes are introduced). Preview builds are available for free to everyone. For more info, visit discord server, preview channel (https://discord.gg/FFwyf4n).
And expect demo to be updated soon with a mode that should make it easier to introduce people both to the game and to the impossible spaces concept. Without intro, with bare minimum of gameplay mechanics: infinite ammo, regenerating health, no devices, no upgrades, linear levels.
But that's not everything that is going to be added to the demo. While there will be no further story related content, there are still going to be new things added. And lots of other changes.
I don't feel good about the delay. The game is in the development for a long time already but it is now much closer to the end. It just moved a few months.
