Founder's letter: what early access means to us
Early access isn't a marketing tactic. It's a commitment. You're in the world before it's polished. We're building in the open. That means we'll break things sometimes. We'll fix them. And we won't pretend we're done when we're not.
We're building something that we want to last. Not a product that ships and then gets a sequel—a durable environment where progression, relationships, and participation accumulate. The industry is slowly waking up to the same idea: the most influential multiplayer worlds won't look like one-off titles. They'll look like institutions—places where people learn, socialize, trade, and show up because the place is worth showing up to. We're not there yet. Early access is how we get there with you in the loop.
What you're signing up for
You're in the world before it's polished. You'll hit rough edges. You'll see us prioritize infrastructure over shiny features sometimes—observability, deployment, the unglamorous work that makes the next decade possible. You'll also see us say no to things: features we kill, dates we don't promise, scope we cut so we can ship something we can stand behind. Transparency doesn't mean we ship everything. It means we tell you what we're doing and why.
We're not chasing a metaverse headline. We're chasing a world that works—credible, governable, and connected enough that when we open the gates wider, it's ready. Thank you for being here early.
