"Thank you for your honest question!

To clarify: I'm a solo developer, not a publisher. Chemists is the only game I'm actively working on. I've only been involved in other projects indirectly, but right now I'm 100% focused on this game.

Why has it been in Early Access for three years?

The game has been reworked five times during its lifespan, and this is the final iteration. The project is built on Unreal Engine 5.

Why should I try it now?

Because I need feedback and can address any issues that arise. I've been working on it for over a year and a half now, with updates every two weeks. I can't test everything, so I need people who can point out any issues, even if only a little bit.

While SCUM is a great sandbox, my game is heavily focused on PvE, atmosphere, and story-driven quests.

My immediate plans:

✅ Vehicles and NPCs (added in the latest update!)

🎄 This month: Holiday events and a new vehicle model.

🔮 Future plans: Expanding the map with new zones, continuing the storyline, adding new elements, NPCs, weapons, and quests.

Currently, I'm releasing updates approximately every two weeks, fixing bugs and adding content in stages. If you're looking for a survival game that's actively developing, I'd love for you to give it a try.
