Been done before I imagine, but I would like once again to praise TWI for their work on this early access release.
I remember an interesting little read a while back from Mr Wilson himself, talking about how game developers have been rather immature in recent years with early access and given it a bad name. I whole heartedly agree, early access generally means barely functional, and hopelessly buggy. With this in mind I have to say I'm shocked at several of scathing posts I've seen in this very forum from so called "fans". I use the term loosely as several individuals seem to have a very "What have you done for me lately?" mentality to their support.
If you are indeed one of these guys always wanting your pound of flesh, currently getting hyped to finish reading this post so you can argue your case and start spouting dates at me, let me remind you... this game is still in alpha... Let that sink in a tad before you go any further... ALPHA.
I've seen fully releases of AAA titles that are less functional, for all the negativity this game gets in these forums, I'd say it is perhaps the finest example of early access I've ever seen, and I'm proud to have paid my money to share in the evolution of this title.
I've mentioned before I'm studying at University on a Games Software Development course, and given the small tip of the iceberg that I have learned in my first 2 years at Uni, I cannot express in words how much I idolise you guys at Tripwire.
From both a game fan and a game developer in training I watch on with keen interest... just try not to release too much DLC... my poor wallet won't be able to take it ;)
