We're in Early Access now, and part of doing early access well is clearly communicating the state of development. If we don't show you what we're working on (and why), it might very well seem like nothing is happening!
To date we have been pretty bad at this; it doesn't come naturally to us. Well, not yet anyway. As developers it is ever so tempting for us to just work on the game and release a new build when it's ready, leaving you none the wiser.
Let's fix that! We should at least be able to do a weekly post summarizing our activities, right? Even if it's just a single sentence reading "nope, still didn't get to do parachutes this week", that's more information than nothing at all.

Take to the skies and fly past mountains in a wingsuit. Try to hug the cliffs at over 250 km/h or cruise at high altitudes and admire the scenery.
Your body and gear are fully physically simulated. You fly by controlling your character's muscles directly, which changes your pose, which interacts with the air around you. You can see, hear, and feel every gust of wind as you pass it.
The current version already has a lot to play around with:
A single, finely tuned wingsuit to fly with
A huge landscape inspired by the Swiss and French Alps, with lots of lines to try
Dynamic time and weather that is also completely customizable
Multiple camera perspectives (including first-person view)
Highly configurable graphics and input settings
Oculus Rift support
HTC Vive support
Time Trials that push your skills to the limit
Gamepad or Joystick recommended!
