Serena Nelson writes: "According to the latest update, Forsaken Fortress has been released onto Steam's "Early Access" platform. Normally that's not a bad thing as it can really help a game get extra revenue before it ships as well as letting more people take a shot at giving feedback and reporting bugs. However, when it becomes a matter of waiting a week to let backers know that it's live on Steam and still have yet to hand out keys to those owed one it does raise more than a few eyebrows."
Gary Alexander Stott writes: "Back in December 2012, Kickstarter project Forsaken Fortress reached its funding goal, with 3,535 backers pledging $121,096 towards the development of the game. Forsaken Fortress was pitched as a 3D isometric RPG with a post-apocalyptic aesthetic. It's not hard to understand why the project reached its goal. That sounds like a perfectly cool game to help bring to life, even if it did require a small leap of faith due to it being the first title from developer Photon Productions.
However, after securing funding for the game, things took a very, very weird turn, as is often the case with crowdfunded projects."

In the Indie Game HQ’s latest interview we had the privilege of speaking to Haoran Li, Project Manager at Photon Productions, about his upcoming survival RPG Forsaken Fortress.
it's bound to happen when you have those who don't really know what they are doing as far as the business part is concerned. early access and kickstarter programs are never a sure thing. the game looks really good though.
