Re: Incoming gamma changes and gamma-only wipe
Honestly, marking this 'early access' would be a bad move, simply because it clearly isn't. Presenting this game as indie should be sufficient to manage the expectations of gamers (and gaming press!).
Now, if you'd establish the game hasn't seen the population to actually verify the gameplay and mechanics are working, there might be something there. Early access is akin to crowdfunding, so pushing the game back to beta would be a good move if you do intend to mark Perpetuum as early access.
