SAELIG

A Note From The Developer
First we should address the elephant in the room SAELIG has been in Early Access like7 years That s a long time What s the deal with that then
Well SAELIG is a hobby project I work on after work and on weekends and there is no set ending or final design SAELIG continues to evolve over time and is updated fairly often with fixes tweaks and new features So while SAELIG is in Early Access it s less because it s missing lots of content and more because I see it as a living project It s always evolving and changing and I feel like the Early Access tag is a convenient way to indicate just how much aspects of the game can change between updates
