What the developers have to say:

Early Access Pricing

“Hello!Because Drifter is an open-world sandbox game we feel like it’s a good fit for Early Access. The game is already enjoyable and relatively bug free, however, it is missing a number of features that we feel should be in the game before calling it 1.0. We hope that this way you’ll be able to have fun with the game while it’s still being worked on; this will give us the ability to create the best game possible based on your support and feedback.We’ve also created a roadmap on the Drifter wiki ( http://celsiusgs.com/drifter/wiki/Development_Roadmap ) so you can see where the game is currently, and where it’s headed, to help you make an informed decision before you support the game.While there will likely be some bugs and hiccups along the way, we will strive to ensure that Drifter is playable and relatively polished during its journey to completion.Thank you!Because Drifter is still in development, and as a way of saying thank you for supporting us, the game will be $11.99 while on Early Access. This is 20% off its intended full price of $14.99.”
