Today's the day!
I'm really excited, and a bit nervous. After two years of development and five rounds of closed betas, Starcom: Nexus is finally available on Steam Early Access.

The feedback from beta testers has helped make each version better than the last. Here are some of the anonymous feedback comments submitted by testers:
"Hi developers!, I tried to find something wrong with this game but I must say that I failed. I totally love it!""Hey everyone, I LOVE this game, great job!""So, I was just going to have a look, and now the night is over and I am through the game[...Spoilers removed...] This probably is the worst beta test feedback you ever got, since a beta test is all about bugs normally, but seriously, this pre-early access-beta runs better than a lot of released games by larger developing teams. Thank you for letting me participate and getting a first impression of Starcom: Nexus."
Of course, this is far from the end of the road. I expect the game to spend at least another six months in Early Access, probably more. I hope you will help me make Starcom: Nexus one of the best single player space adventures ever.
