    [​IMG]Yemeth has previewed the Early Access version of The Waylanders and feels it has gone into early access too early.

    With that out of the way, it's time for some Real Talk. Over the years, the term Early Access has been subjected to a hefty amount of ridicule and suspicion. It has become a hive of unfinished projects and asset flips. While The Waylanders is not either of those things, it probably magic missile-d itself in the face by going public with this build. To me, Early Access is an opportunity for the devs to present a 'functional' slice of their project and to build a supportive community that will play a big hand in the development ahead. With Early Access, the first impression is often the most important phase and could make or break your game.

    Frankly, I think Gato Salvaje has a solid vision laid out for the game. On paper and on the Steam page, The Waylanders sounds like a game that every Bioware fan could fall in love with: a unique setting, a story written by industry veterans, music composed by Inon Zur, and party-based tactical combat. Sadly, the Early Access version of the game does a poor job of selling The Waylanders to the public. The Waylanders is currently just an alpha build at this stage. The fact that the developer openly declares it doesn't make you like the game any better. Transparency is good and all, but it's not ready for the storefront yet.
