I'm getting the impression you'd be better off with a closed beta. There's enough people on the forums who have been invested to the point of checking back regularly. There would probably be a few who would gladly volunteer to beta test the game properly. If it goes up tomorrow and it's unplayable this game will get buried by negative criticism.

Thank you.

I`m afraid the above poster is correct. There are too many negative comments already which is too bad. I personally don`t mind the delays. There are so many games out to play until the game is finished.

If the game is unplayable I would think the bad press you have now will be nothing compared to what will happen after tomorrow.

Due to "technical difficulties" game can not be released for the 8th time. So would you like a unplayable game we will never finish instead?

The question sounds different. I want to know your opinion on the above question. Please try to match the theme of the forum.

I agree with this. I've been harsh towards the game up until now, maybe sometimes too harsh, but I genuinely do want to see it released, I wouldn't be here if I didn't. However, it's one thing giving people their say on the Steam forums, that's something which should be allowed and all comments taken on-board, but I certainly don't think that giving people their say in the Steam reviews section would do the game any favours if it's unfinished or has issues, especially given some of the ill-will seen on the forums, and opening it up to early access would do just that.

So yes, a closed beta might be a better way forward, and I'm pleased to see the developer making attempts at getting the community on-side.

I hope to go public with open access. Let there be criticism. Maybe I deserved it. But I hope for common sense people.
If I come to you with an open face, I beg applies to me as well.

P.S.
Closed beta can generate a lot of speculation... in the open access people will be able to test their conjectures on the game.

Thanks.

You may be right. I hope the community will Express their opinions on both options.

IF you go for Early Access then make sure you finish the game soon. Do not use Early Access as an excuse for another delay.

You will be able to track the whole process, completely open discussion.

Sounds like it might be a good idea. At least with early access people know there will be some flaws and bugs. Started to play the demo on max settings and it played well. Go for it but always let the community know what you are working on. Thats a big key

Depends. If price of EA will be not very high, then im with you. You can anounce that release price will be higher. So people be motivated to buy even in current state.
But you really should be sure that you can do what you promised. People have long memory. Better for you to be honest and accept both your strong and weak points.

Я уже высказался вд ругих темах и в своей которую правда куда то дели вы. Выпускайте в раннем доступе в том виде которая она сейчас есть. Это лучший вариант чем постоянные переносы. В ранем у вас будет куча тестеров так сказать и много репортов об ошибках и глюках которые вы можете оперативно латать.

All I see are lock threads. Not a single post is "open" for discussion or is deleted, people banned. I don't see open discussion ever happening.
