As someone who is dying to play Ardem as soon as possible... you guys made the right choice.  100% take the time to get it stable without burning out your dev team :)  We will all be excited to play it when it's ready.

Thank the gods Active matter & the switcher is here. By the time 2027 comes, I'll have most likely forgot about ardem.

We've all known for quite some time that this game is years away.

Keep up this kind of transparancy over the development and its nice to see where this game has come compared to what it was, so if it needs more time to polish up than indeed do so.
Its good to see you guys take pride in your work instead of pushing a release date through. 😌👍

i've been watching Ardem for a little over a year, i remember the announcement of the visual upgrades to the growth of staff. This game is going to be beautiful and this announcement only makes me more excited that the games experience is being improved, cause that is what should matter. Keep growing, keep learning, and don't forget you're human <3

That is very aptly put; it gets straight to the heart of the matter in a sensible and appropriate way. I’m looking forward to it, but I’d rather wait and experience a "wow factor" than have nothing work at all in the end.

I'm very happy you're taking your time and not releasing a broken game. Looking forward to what this game can become. I'm sure it will be well worth the wait.

Sad to hear that ... BUT better you take your time and dont rush it,  so in the end the game will be good!

I'm in the "take your time" camp. Just make sure to keep everyone posted every step of the way.

Please look into adding a region selection feature for spawning. Being able to choose where you appear on the map would make it so much easier to enter a server and meet up with a friend right away. This would fix the issue of spending hours just searching for your teammate, which discourages a lot of people from playing—especially new players trying the game for the very first time. If you manage to add this, I'm sure many more people will want to try and stay in the game.

Oh I’m just here patiently waiting for access to the play test!😭

Really looking forward to this game! I'm watching like a hawk but yes, cook away, take your time and build the game you want to build 👍😎

Love honesty, and managing expectations. Take your time, the players will still be there.

this is definitely on my radar, take all the time you need! there's plenty of stuff to keep my interest in the meanwhile, you gotta cook

Iv been following this game for months, cant wait! Let it cook so it will be that much better for us when we first play it.

yes!!! take your time and do it right. Cant wait to try it but you guys know when it ready to let us try it!!

This game is a Carrying box simulator and driving trucks, no zombies, no weapons, no pvp, only loading boxes into the van 🤣

Thanks for the update 👍

Well I can't simply not be disappointed.  Not giving up though. I get it, and I agree you shouldn't let the masses play a game you are not ready for them to play. I appreciate you wanting to take the time to make it right before showing too much. Still looking forward to help build the game whenever you are ready for us to test. The group I play games with, we are all excited for early access and a couple of us are signed up to test. Thank you for this video explaining the delay. I think that kind of transparency is very important.

Yeah touching on the sign up for play test on steam it said wishlist the game n click the request to join than it said to just wait for an email than the day of the play test I found out you actually had to go to a official web site n sign up there but on steam there was no mention of that not disappointed at all happy to wait.. but as for getting flawlessly stable before public playtest or release 100% take your time don't rush. it's your art to prefect one brush stroke at a time and if done right we could be looking at the next big zombie survival that would put dayz to bed we can only hope
