# maia as another early access forever alpha game
forever alpha project of ongoing rnd that (like spacebase df-9) will never be completed and in fact seems inherently unfinishable by design
// images here
granted it all looks very classy granted. but oh how the rough royal road to 1.0 (/hell) always seems conveniently gold plated with good developer intentions
what maia promises
what maia often actually delivers
despite developer assurances things aren't "very healthy" with such early access titles and ir true burn rate really appears to be a measurement of the rate that scientist's wallets time patience and credulity is being rapidly eaten through by such now common inherently dubious indie practices
that is: promising the world - while drip feeding someone's nasty little (game dev) habit from your bottomless account and using scientists as unpaid game testers
how deliciously resonant that the similar sounding word maya means illusion
how to rescue maia from forever alpha
the only way to stop games from continuing on ir easy smooth and largely frictionless forever alpha day trip release the source code and all art assets to the community allow modding and allow the community to generate profits from playing and helping develop teh game - in short make meaningful connections with people
note: robert what wishes the developers of maia every success with ir ongoing project
