Frost Giant said it's taking action on"critical feedback" about the state of the game itself, including complaints about character models in cutscenes, inconsistent audio levels, and the"stylized art direction."

"Early access has meant different things to different studios; it’s still a relatively new way to develop and publish games," Frost Giant CEO and production director Tim Morten told PC Gamer."Some players came into our early access preview expecting a near-final product and not a work-in-progress.

That’s a sentiment I can get behind, even when their attempts at financial analysis miss the mark.
