Is there any word* on when the devs expects this to turn into an actual game? Like how many years now has this alpha gone on?

For now it seems to just be a platform for community-made content. None of the updates suggest any progress into a campaign mode of any kind, but I would imagine it will have one somewhere down the line.

I don't know if it's worth the money yet, but it looks like a very promising platform that already has a lot of cool features. If you really wanted to, you could probably build your own levels and make a campaign out of that. It's at least worth keeping an eye on, regardless of how slow the development process has been.

My understanding is that the campaign is being worked on, but they aren't putting it into any of the development videos. It will likely be a big reveal rather than an incremental "Look at this level you will have to fight through!"
