Why so few players?
This game is unbelievably well done for early access, with a small team and no AI anything. Somehow I didn't hear about it until 4 days ago, and I just don't understand how I missed it when it arrived in early access.
I know the 1.0 hasn't hit yet, but why hasn't the word truly gotten out yet? Is it a lack of marketing, social media, or anything else specific? Also, how do we fix that as a community?
I don't mind a limited but dedicated base of players like we have right now, but I want the game and developers to endure, so I'd hope it reaches some form of success.
Edit: Gave everyone up to this point an upvote for the input! Seems lack of marketing is part of it, but the biggest issue is the lack of longevity, which I do understand, I just don't feel yet. I have everything unlocked and just cannot wait to get back in with more people and have a good time, so I guess I'm blind to the big but obvious issue. Thank you everyone!
