Here's the full text:

Greetings, recruits!

The time has come. The Early Access version of Encased is almost ready, and the Dome will soon be open to everyone. On September 26th, you can begin exploring the enigma that is the Dome!

Those who pledged their support on Kickstarter, or otherwise pre-ordered the game, will receive their keys via email during the Early Access launch. Over the next few days we will send out a questionnaire where you may choose your platform, Steam or GOG.

Now we will answer the biggest question posed by community: "What can we expect in Early Access?"

  • Early Access will include a section of the game's main plot relating the events leading up to and during the Incident.
  • After the prologue, you will have access to some parts of the open world, where you can explore and discover how life under the Dome changed after the disaster.
  • Portions of the desert beneath the Dome will be obscured as anomalous zones, and temporarily inaccessible. But don't worry, regular content updates will gradually open up new sectors of the Dome for you to explore.
  • The open world has a life of its own. Traveling through the desert, you'll meet wandering traders, bandits, wild animals, the Forefathers' machines and anomaly mazes. Sometimes you’ll encounter unique events leading to a quest or acquainting you with one of the Dome’s factions.
  • The Early Access release will include about 40 weapons. In addition, Encased lets players craft their own weapons, which can lead to more than 100 deadly devices in total!

You will also find new side quests, characters, secrets, locations, items, weapons and armor, new animations, improved sounds and music, item crafting, etc.

Right now and until the start of Early Access, we will continue to polish and improve the game. None of the feedback you sent escaped our notice. We've fixed tons of bugs, changed some small mechanics, and improved what you told us needing improving (but nothing too crazy, we can't add a Godzilla-sized Cheburashka or anything like that).

As a reminder, you can directly report any errors you find in the game by using the "Feedback" button in the interface. You can also message us in Discord .

The Dome awaits, your patience will soon be rewarded! Join your fellow Encased players on Steam or GOG!

A heavily armoured soldier with a rotary Gatling gun... yes.

I wonder how long it will take for them to finish up the game :). Will buy, of course, given the chance.

Since the release of Encased, we've been constantly releasing patches that fix bugs and improve the balance of weapons and abilities. In parallel with the work on urgent fixes, the studio was working hard every day on the first content patch, an extension that moved the game's story forward. So far, only a part of the story line is ready, and during 2020 you will see even more content patches, that will be followed by the full-fledged release.

Full list of changes
 
Well, good luck with your project man! I never buy early access games but it's on my wishlist, if it turns out good I'll buy for sure!
 
Development updates from Dark Crystal Games are back! In the latest update, we'll talk about the Encased narrative and how it will affect players. You'll learn how quests and stories under the Dome are created.

Only the most attentive will learn all the secrets and story of the Encased world. Each note, terminal or voicemail contains not only a part of the game's overall plot, but also stories of people, trying to survive in the rapidly collapsing society. The protagonist is not a passive observer, they're the main driving force of the game world.

 
As a bonus for a long silence, we publish the next update immediately. In the sixth development update we'll tell you about random encounters in Encased. You'll learn how they are created and how players can influence event outcomes. We'll also talk about easter eggs and unique rewards. Raiders, tactical puzzles, illustrated dialogues, unique items - all this awaits you in the new release of Encased development update

 
Not enough people are talking about this game. It looks great. Can't wait to play this when it's complete. Looks like it could top Atom rpg which was also great.
 
Attention, employees!

Massive content update will soon release! In the last dev update we’ll show you what awaits players in the new adventures under the Dome.

 
Hello, everyone!

Today we are pleased to present the second content patch for Encased. The world under the Dome was changed a lot. The game got day and night cycle, new locations, additional quests, characters and a mysterious companion with the fox mask.

We worked hard on an updated combat system, redesigned balance, added new weapons and weapon effects. Variability of the playthroughs was also increased thanks to new dialogue choices, an expanded skill system and additional encounters.

Sorry for the late reply. In Encased we plan to create more than 70 unique locations. You can already estimate the total size of the map in the early access (although not all events, locations and quests are added there yet).
