Not to be "That Guy" but is there a release date set, or a target time period? I completely missed the KS and Indiegogo funding campaigns, but I am very excited for this.
As of currently i haven't heard of any release dates lately, we are currently on .28 alpha. I would think once we go beta Roth will go ahead and do early access.

So 0.30 will be the early access version. I'm going to get a purchasing system on the site in the next few days and also look into Greenlight. Currently we are on 0.29 internally, which is 8 days or so from release and 0.30 a few days to a week after that.

Release date is actually more like THIS summer. Although I'm easily a month behind on that already. As mentioned above, the development will be organic and may go on for at least another year.

That's awesome! I'll be looking for this for early access. And on Greenlight :D

Oh, wow, already? Totally was not expecting that! I kind of had put Maia on the very-long-term list...

I guess this really showcases the difference between amateur and professional developers :)

Good to hear the game is coming out nicely. Any info on system specs that you will need to run it?

Yeah. A 512mb dedicated GPU like a nv9800 will play it, but a mid ranged 1GB card will fair much better.

I'm recommending an i5 CPU wise. The game is very heavy in that regard and will be aggressively threaded.

I'm running on a i5 3570K at 3.4GHz and a 570 and get 60fps in my current unoptimised alpha build.

I'm not looking forward to getting it working with horrible Intel graphics.

I can't imagine all the work that goes into making things compatible and running smoothly... let me just say I do not envy you! :)

Sir you have balls to make it compatible with that atrocious hardware.

Hey, I have a feeling this is answered elsewhere but whats the projected cost to buy this? I was unable to get in to the kickstarter due to lack of funds and I hope that that wont be too big of an issue for getting the game.

I'm not 100%. It will be higher than the Kickstarter pledge. Talking with distributors we've been looking at £20 or so.

The trailer definitely makes it look like part FPS horror-game, part Dungeon Keeper - liked what I saw! Can't wait for more :)
