I can't believe this game still isn't out. I posted about three years ago asking if this game was done yet. I was met with massive hostility. Now I just feel a wee bit gutted for all those who had high hopes. This is never going to be Life 2.0 in space. I feel sorry for those who have pledged anything above $100
Technically it was released in 2012, it has an environment and its playable but i know what you mean and yes i agree its taking too long, much too long to get all its content in and completed.
This frustrates people, including me however like many others i enjoy playing the game as it is, every new thing added is a bonus. its existing environment is enough to make a fun game out of.
