Flying Lab is really putting a lot of work in this game. They're philosophy about releasing this game is also very nicely thought of. They plan on releasing the game one piece at a time by using Valve's Steam-engine. The first part (R1) will be released somewhere in fall this year. The release will contain a complete game. Don't think because they're releasing in various phases that they only release a half-finished game. They just keep on adding features to the game. You'll need a broadband connection in order to play this game. This is deliberately done because they feel that many games have been made focusing too much on performance. It shows in the screenshots aswel, the graphics are absolutely stunning.
