Dear community,

Today we have to make an announcement that the Early Access release will be delayed until further notice. This decision was not made lightly. During our closed beta which has brought us a tremendous amount of feedback and suggestions and it was clear that there were some Core features missing which people really missed in the game.

With Defense Corp – Earth we are trying to set an old school experience. It is now clear to us that there are some features the community needs before making it complete. The game in its current state is fully playable and has 90% of the content done which was promised before EA release. But we have never seen EA as a way to earn money while delivering an experience we do not stand behind or the community thinks is lacking.
For that reason, we have decided to delay the Early Access release and re-group to see how we can best approach our new goals.
Some things which were often mentioned in the feedback:

- Nothing to “chase”
- No community servers support
- No Dedicated servers
- No Map editor

As a self-funded small Indie Team, I think we have proven we are capable of delivering quality content and keep true to our vision. A project of this undertaking is bound to undergo some changes. We will do more than our best to deliver a game the community can appreciate and love.
This does not mean that the full release is pushed back as well. But only that our EA window is going to be shorter since work is being done parallel.
In just 1 year we have built our game from scratch, implemented 75% of the maps planned, 50% of all characters and 80% of all guns. Have a working FPS framework, matchmaking server all compatible with steam made from scratch. There is no doubt in my mind that any challenges we set for ourselves are something we will be able to conquer!
We will update you guys as soon as we have a plan set in motion.

Thank you for your ongoing support and specials thanks to all the beta testers who have provided us with all the feedback
